What We Look For
The CRB+ standard for nearshore talent
- Deep Kubernetes and container orchestration experience
- Internal developer platform and tooling background
- A product mindset — builds platforms that other engineers actually adopt
- English fluency and experience working with distributed engineering teams
Why Nearshore Is Different
Platform engineering is a newer discipline globally. CRB+ has identified the Latin American engineers who have built real internal developer platforms — not just infrastructure engineers who claim the title.
Our Approach
We look for engineers who have shipped internal products with measurable adoption. Building a platform no one uses doesn't count. Same filter we apply everywhere.

How quickly can I staff a nearshore Nearshore Platform Engineer?+
Nearshore placements are often faster than domestic searches due to the size of the available talent pool. Most clients see a qualified shortlist within 5–7 business days, and nearshore contractors can typically start within 2 weeks of offer acceptance.
