Need an Azure developer who works your hours, ships production code and costs a fraction of a US hire? Rad Hires recruits senior Azure developers across Latin America for US startups and growing tech companies. You get a vetted shortlist, you make the call, and most clients hire in 2–4 weeks for 40–60% less than a comparable US engineer.
Why hire Azure developers from Latin America?
- Real-time collaboration. Colombia, Peru and Mexico sit on or next to US Eastern and Central time. Argentina and Brazil are only 1–2 hours ahead of New York. Your developer joins standups, pairs with your team and answers Slack during your workday, not overnight.
- Senior talent at 40–60% less. You pay for experience, not Bay Area overhead. The savings let a startup hire a senior engineer where it could only afford a junior one in the US.
- Full-time focus. We recruit people who join your team long term, not freelancers juggling five clients.
Azure roles you can hire
- Azure / .NET developers building APIs and web apps with C#, ASP.NET Core and Azure App Service.
- Azure cloud and DevOps engineers working with Azure DevOps or GitHub Actions, Bicep or Terraform, AKS and monitoring.
- Serverless and integration developers using Azure Functions, Logic Apps, Service Bus and Event Grid.
- Azure data engineers working with Azure SQL, Cosmos DB, Data Factory and Synapse or Fabric.
How hiring with Rad Hires works
- Kickoff call. We learn the role, your stack, your team and your budget, and agree on what a great hire looks like.
- Sourcing and screening. Our recruiters search our Latin America network and screen candidates for skills, experience, communication and fit, so you only see people worth your time.
- Your shortlist and interviews. You interview the best candidates and choose who to hire. We coordinate scheduling and feedback.
- Offer and onboarding. We help you close the candidate and get them started.
- 90-day replacement guarantee. If the hire doesn’t work out in the first 90 days, we find you a replacement.

What does a Latin American developer cost?
Cost depends mostly on seniority and the exact skills you need. Our clients typically pay 40–60% less than for a comparable US hire. Two real examples:
- A US startup hired a senior engineer in Argentina for $8.7k a month, about half the cost of a US equivalent, working full time in the client’s time zone.
- A US digital agency staffed several senior roles for about $40 an hour on average.
On a short consultation call, we’ll give you a realistic budget for your Azure role.
What to look for in an Azure developer
- Strong core language skills: usually C# and .NET, or Python, Node.js or Java, depending on your stack.
- Hands-on Azure services: App Service, Functions, Storage, Azure SQL or Cosmos DB, Key Vault and Entra ID (formerly Azure AD).
- Infrastructure as code and CI/CD: Bicep or Terraform, plus Azure DevOps pipelines or GitHub Actions.
- Security and cost awareness: managed identities, least-privilege access, and keeping an eye on the Azure bill.
- Production experience: monitoring with Application Insights, handling incidents, and shipping changes safely.
- Communication: can explain trade-offs clearly in English to engineers and non-engineers alike.
Microsoft certifications such as Azure Developer Associate (AZ-204) are a useful signal, but real projects matter more. Ask candidates to walk you through something they built and ran in production.
Interview questions to ask an Azure developer
- When would you choose Azure Functions over App Service or Container Apps, and why?
- How do you keep secrets and connection strings out of code?
- Walk me through a CI/CD pipeline you built for an Azure application.
- Tell me about a production incident on Azure. How did you find and fix the cause?
- How have you reduced Azure costs on a project?
