Rates below are what U.S. companies pay through LatHire, all-inclusive of HR, international payroll and local compliance. There are no placement fees and no minimum term — you only pay once you hire. Monthly figures assume a full-time engagement of roughly 160 hours. Developer rates start at $15/hour.
Front-end and full-stack engineers are the most common first hire for U.S. teams working with Latin American developers, and the cheapest way into the market. A junior full-stack developer starts at $17/hour; a senior who can own architecture across the stack runs closer to $41.
TypeScript specialists price above React generalists at every level. That is a supply constraint rather than a difficulty one — if your codebase is typed end to end you are competing for a thinner pool.
| Role | Junior | Mid | Senior |
|---|---|---|---|
| Full Stack Developer | $17/hr $2,700/mo | $30/hr $4,725/mo | $41/hr $6,619/mo |
| Front-end Developer | $17/hr $2,700/mo | $32/hr $5,063/mo | $44/hr $7,031/mo |
| React Developer | $19/hr $3,038/mo | $28/hr $4,500/mo | $41/hr $6,638/mo |
| TypeScript Developer | $25/hr $3,938/mo | $39/hr $6,188/mo | $55/hr $8,859/mo |
Back-end rates sit slightly above front-end at every level, reflecting demand for engineers who can handle data modelling, API design and performance work rather than UI alone.
PHP is the value end of the market: a senior PHP developer costs less than a junior TypeScript one. If you are maintaining an existing Laravel or WordPress codebase rather than building something new, that gap is the whole argument.
| Role | Junior | Mid | Senior |
|---|---|---|---|
| Back-end Developer | $20/hr $3,240/mo | $33/hr $5,265/mo | $43/hr $6,940/mo |
| Python Developer | $20/hr $3,150/mo | $28/hr $4,500/mo | $39/hr $6,210/mo |
| Django Developer | $18/hr $2,813/mo | $25/hr $3,938/mo | $33/hr $5,243/mo |
| PHP Developer | $15/hr $2,475/mo | $19/hr $3,038/mo | $23/hr $3,750/mo |
These are the specialist roles and the rates reflect it. Mobile developers with production App Store and Google Play experience start at $24/hour. DevOps engineers who can own CI/CD, Kubernetes and cloud infrastructure start at $20.
AI and machine learning engineers are the most expensive developers in the pool at $25/hour junior and $45 senior — still roughly a third of the equivalent U.S. cost, which is why this is the fastest-growing category of LATAM hire we place.
| Role | Junior | Mid | Senior |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mobile App Developer | $24/hr $3,780/mo | $22/hr $3,578/mo | $44/hr $7,088/mo |
| DevOps Engineer | $20/hr $3,150/mo | $33/hr $5,288/mo | $43/hr $6,806/mo |
| AI/ML Developer | $25/hr $3,938/mo | $39/hr $6,188/mo | $45/hr $7,153/mo |
QA engineers are the lowest-cost way to add engineering capacity, starting at $15/hour. Teams shipping weekly often hire QA before they hire a fourth developer, because it protects the velocity of the developers already in place.
UX and UI designers are priced alongside mid-level developers and are usually taken on as a fractional or part-time engagement rather than full-time.
| Role | Junior | Mid | Senior |
|---|---|---|---|
| QA Engineer | $15/hr $2,475/mo | $19/hr $3,038/mo | $22/hr $3,581/mo |
| UX/UI Designer | $19/hr $3,038/mo | $28/hr $4,500/mo | $37/hr $5,850/mo |
