What We Look For
The CRB+ standard for nearshore talent
- Senior-level hands-on experience with your primary cloud provider
- IaC background: Terraform, CloudFormation, or CDK
- Cloud security and cost optimization experience — not just provisioning
- English fluency and experience working with distributed, US-based teams
Why Nearshore Is Different
Cloud engineers with real architecture experience — not just certifications — are competitive hires everywhere. In Latin America, CRB+ has built the relationships to access engineers who would otherwise never see your job posting.
Our Approach
We go beyond certifications and assess real project scope. What did they architect, what did they migrate, what did they break and how did they fix it. The same standard we apply to US-based placements.
