The problem
Where this breaks.
Four failure modes we see in teams that went without an embedded software engineer for too long.
Application engineers are writing firmware
Memory, timing and power constraints do not forgive habits learned on servers.
Hardware is ready and software is not
The board arrives, the schedule does not move, and the software becomes the critical path.
Field updates were never planned
A device without a tested update path turns every defect into a recall conversation.
Firmware bugs surface after the hardware ships
On device, a defect found late is a recall conversation. Somebody has to catch it against real hardware, early.
How CloudTask helps
Someone who owns the outcome, not just the ticket.
Most searches start from people we already know. The rest we go and find.
Embedded experience checked against shipped devices
Candidates are assessed on the languages, platforms and hardware they claim, plus debugging on real targets. We work a marketplace of vetted professionals across 12 LATAM countries, and when your brief is specific our recruiting network in the region runs the search for it.

Interview and hire
We coordinate interviews, then handle payroll and compliance across LATAM.
The AI question
AI accelerates the work. It does not own the outcome.
Autonomous coding agents raised commit volume by 180%. Releases rose only 30%. The work moved to review, integration and testing, and that is where a person still has to sign off. (NBER, 2026, over 100,000 developers)

At first we were an SF-based team only. Then I met Amir Reiter back in 2018. After visiting Medellín, I knew LATAM would be key to our growth and success.

After meeting my CX and CS team in Medellín, we immediately loved the culture and the work ethic. As a European-HQ company, we found LATAM to be perfect to service our American clients.
