Why hire Cloud engineers remotely?

Hiring cloud engineers remotely allows you to access a wider pool of talent and build teams that match your company’s needs without being limited by location.

In the United States, a senior cloud engineer typically costs $12,000 to $15,000 per month, making it a major investment for growing companies. In contrast, hiring a highly skilled cloud engineer in Latin America can cost between $4,000 and $7,000 per month, with similar technical expertise and strong English skills. This difference lets you scale your team while keeping costs under control.

Beyond savings, remote hiring in Latin America provides aligned time zones, which makes real-time collaboration easier compared to hiring talent in regions like Asia or Eastern Europe. For example, a retail company running a 24/7 e-commerce platform can distribute workloads across teams without overburdening local staff, ensuring faster response times and higher productivity.

Remote hiring also speeds up growth. Instead of going through long and expensive local recruitment cycles, you can quickly add skilled cloud engineers to support product launches, migrations, or infrastructure upgrades—helping your business stay competitive.

Hire Cloud Engineers: Key Skills to Look For and Why It Matters

The right cloud engineer does more than just manage servers—they keep your entire digital infrastructure safe, scalable, and efficient. Here are a few critical skills to look for:

  • Cloud Platforms: Expertise in AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud. These are the foundations of modern infrastructure.
  • Automation Tools: Knowledge of Terraform, Kubernetes, or Docker for building scalable environments.
  • Security Awareness: A strong focus on securing data and compliance, especially if you handle sensitive customer information.
  • Problem-Solving: Real-world troubleshooting experience is key. For instance, fixing a sudden outage at peak shopping hours requires quick, decisive action.
  • Collaboration: Since they’ll likely work remotely, strong communication skills are essential for working with cross-functional teams.

Hiring someone with these skills ensures your systems don’t just run—they thrive. A mismatch here can lead to downtime, security breaches, or unexpected costs.

Why Hiring a Cloud Engineer is Essential for Modern Businesses

Today’s businesses rely heavily on digital services, whether it’s storing customer data, processing online transactions, or running internal tools. A dedicated cloud engineer ensures that your operations are reliable and scalable.

Consider a retail company preparing for holiday sales. Without proper cloud infrastructure, a sudden spike in traffic could crash their website, leading to lost revenue. A skilled cloud engineer would have planned ahead, setting up auto-scaling and monitoring to prevent this kind of disruption.

Cloud engineers also help you optimize costs by identifying unused resources and streamlining workloads. Over time, this can save thousands of dollars per month, freeing up funds for growth initiatives.

Mid-Level Cloud Engineer: from $2,000 to $3,250 per month, depending on the country. Argentina tends to be on the lower end, while Brazil and Mexico are closer to the higher range.

Senior Cloud Engineer: typically $4,000 to $5,750 per month, with Colombia and Argentina often offering highly skilled talent at the mid-range.

Manager or Director level: between $6,000 and $7,500 per month, with Brazil and Mexico generally at the top of the scale.

This pricing flexibility allows startups and mid-sized companies to access senior-level expertise without burning through their entire budget.

1

How is Teilur Talent different from other tech recruiting companies in LATAM?

At Teilur Talent, we take a mission-focused approach to recruiting, ensuring that our candidates are aligned with your company's vision and goals. Unlike other tech recruiting companies in LATAM, who may focus solely on technical skills, we prioritize the cultural fit and dedication of our team members to your company. For this reason, we do not support project contractor or freelancer roles. Instead, we focus on fully devoted team members who will help you achieve long-term success.

2

How does Teilur Talent attract and retain the best talent compared to other companies?

At Teilur Talent, we offer our candidates competitive salaries that are 2x to 3x higher than what tech companies would pay locally. This allows us to attract top talent and retain highly motivated and loyal team members. Additionally, we focus on finding candidates whose values align with the purpose, vision, and mission of our clients. This approach ensures that our engineers and tech talent are not just coding and completing task rather, they become part of a greater purpose, which gives them meaning and helps us attract and retain the best talent.

What are Teilur Talent's fees and pricing structure?

At Teilur Talent, we believe in transparency. We charge a flat rate fee of 20% of what the client pays. This way, our clients know exactly what they are paying for and how much the candidate gets. As an example: If a client hires a software engineer for $60,000 per year ($5,000 per month), Teilur's monthly fee would be $1,000 (20% of $5,000). We don't believe in hidden fees or unwanted surprises, so we disclose all costs upfront to both candidates hired and companies. When exploring other alternatives, make sure they are transparent about their pricing. We believe this is paramount for the benefit of all parties involved in this new era of remote work.

At Teilur Talent, we take candidate screening very seriously. We use a multi-layered approach to find the best candidates for our clients, starting with screening thousands of candidates from our internal and proprietary networks. We leverage AI technology to assess whether a candidate matches the technical skills required for a given job opening. We also perform additional personal evaluations to ensure that the candidate has the soft skills, culture fit, and English language skills required to excel in their new role. Our rigorous screening process ensures that only the best candidates make it through to our clients, saving them time and helping them find the best talent for their teams.
