Tech Jobs in Latin America

Latin America is rapidly becoming a technology hotspot. Companies such as Globant, Nubank, and MercadoLibre are building large engineering teams in São Paulo, Mexico City, Bogotá, and Medellín. The region offers a high density of startups and a growing demand for software engineers, data scientists, and product managers.

The tech landscape here is dominated by fintech, e‑commerce, healthtech, and SaaS. Rappi’s logistics platform, Despegar’s travel booking, and Auth0’s identity‑management solutions highlight the diversity of opportunities. Neighborhoods like SoHo in Mexico City, Beco do Ponto in São Paulo, and La Candelaria in Bogotá are known for co‑working spaces and innovation hubs.

Cost of living varies by city but remains lower than many Western markets. Rent in Mexico City averages $400 per month, Bogotá $350, Buenos Aires $300, and São Paulo $600. Transparent salary data lets candidates compare roles against local living costs, ensuring that a $55,000 salary in Mexico City matches or exceeds the purchasing power of a $60,000 offer in São Paulo.
