SALT LAKE CITY, UT, August 25, 2026 /24-7PressRelease/ — For years, Acendeo has been placing senior Latin American engineers with US companies. It serves a market that keeps defying its own headlines. The story everyone tells today is that remote work is over. The data disagrees. As of 2025, remote days still make up about a quarter of US paid workdays. In January 2025, a White House memorandum pulled federal employees back to the office full time. Private companies did not follow. In late 2024, fewer than half of US workers said they would accept a full return. Meanwhile, demand for senior developers keeps rising, and the local supply of affordable talent does not.
The firm staffs senior software engineers, designers, and technical specialists for US companies. Its placements span software development, data, AI, QA, cybersecurity, and UI/UX design. Clients range from SaaS startups to established enterprise companies. Every engineer is senior and works remotely from Latin America during US hours.
“The demand for Senior Engineers is not slowing down. A growing company cannot pay what the giants pay. That does not mean lowering the bar. It means hiring the same caliber where the math works.” – Brad Webb, Co-founder and CTO, Acendeo.
Acendeo’s model favors speed and low commitment. Engineers embed with client teams within 10 days, with no lengthy master agreement and no exclusivity. There is no upfront recruiting fee, and rates are 30 to 40% below those of a comparable fully loaded US hire. Because Acendeo is US-incorporated, clients contract under US law, reducing their exposure to severance and labor claims in the Latin American countries where the Engineers are based. And after the first 30 days, a client can request a replacement at no cost.
“Trust and speed decide this business. The client wants to hire abroad and keep the relationship under US law. Get that structure right, and it lasts years.” – Nelso Villamizar, VP Strategic Operations, Acendeo.
The demand is not anecdotal. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics projects Software Developer employment to grow 16% between 2024 and 2034. That is more than 5 times the average for all occupations. Across the wider group, about 129,200 roles are open each year, driven by AI, the Internet of Things, and automation.
The strain is at the senior level, where the pipeline is thin, and the pay is steep. The top 10% of US Developers earn above $211,450 in base salary. Total packages at the largest tech firms climb well beyond that. Startups rarely win those bidding wars. Nearshore hiring is one way around it, and it is the model Acendeo uses.
How does a startup hire Senior Software Engineers it cannot outbid MAANG for? Acendeo works with companies facing that question.
