LATAM has been a gold mine for talent. Our CloudTask hires understand our company culture and mission, and they connect with our customers in a way that drives high NPS and CX scores.
David Barrett CEO, Expensify -
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.
Tim Zheng CEO, Apollo.io -
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.

API fluency
Works with the REST and GraphQL APIs, respects rate limits and knows which API fits each job.
-
Catalog and pricing models
Understands products, variants, options, price lists and customer groups, and how they reach the storefront.
-
Integration design
Designs syncs with ERP, PIM and fulfillment systems that decide which system owns each field and handle failures.
-
Headless when it pays off
Can build a headless storefront and can also explain when a Stencil theme is the simpler, better answer.
-
Storefront performance
Measures what scripts and widgets cost in load time and removes what the store does not need.

Safe releases
Develops locally with the CLI, previews changes and keeps a copy of the live theme before publishing.
-
AI output, reviewed
Uses coding assistants for boilerplate templates and API calls, and tests every change before it reaches shoppers.
HIRING GUIDE
How to hire BigCommerce developers
BigCommerce work is often less about the theme and more about the data flowing between the store and the rest of the business. This guide covers what a BigCommerce developer does, theme versus headless, what to test, the red flags and when a dedicated BigCommerce developer is the wrong hire.
What does a BigCommerce developer do?
Builds and maintains the code around a BigCommerce store: Stencil themes, apps built on the APIs, headless storefronts and the integrations that sync catalog, prices, stock and orders with other systems.
Day to day that means shipping storefront changes, keeping integrations healthy and making sure what the customer sees matches what the ERP and the warehouse know.
Stencil theme or headless storefront?
A Stencil theme keeps the storefront inside BigCommerce and is the fastest path for most stores. A headless storefront uses BigCommerce for commerce and a separate front end, which gives more control and more to maintain.
Decide which one you run or want before you brief anyone. Headless work needs strong front-end skills on top of the BigCommerce APIs.
Integrations: the part that decides whether it works
Catalog, pricing and stock usually come from somewhere else, and orders need to go somewhere else. When a sync fails quietly, customers buy items that are out of stock or see the wrong price.
Ask the candidate how they designed a sync: which system owns each field, how they handle retries and how they are alerted when it stops.
B2B and complex catalogs
B2B stores add customer groups, price lists, quotes and account structures. Complex catalogs add variants, options and modifiers that affect pricing and search.
If either applies to you, put it in the brief and ask the candidate to explain how they modeled a similar catalog before.
What to test in a BigCommerce developer interview
Give a small task close to your real work: show a custom product field on the product page of a Stencil theme, or read and update products through the API. Read how they structure the code and handle errors.
Then ask about an integration that went wrong. You want to hear how they found the problem and what they changed so it would not repeat.
Red flags in BigCommerce developer candidates
Theme edits on the live store. A candidate who changes the published theme directly, with no local development or backup, will break the storefront sooner or later.
Integrations with no owner for the data. If they cannot say which system wins when two disagree, your prices and stock will drift.
Rate limits as a surprise. A candidate who has never hit or planned for API limits has not run a serious integration.
Headless by default. Recommending a headless rebuild for every problem usually means more cost and more maintenance than the store needs.
No testing on a preview. If they cannot describe how they check a change before shoppers see it, expect regressions.
When should you not hire a dedicated BigCommerce developer?
When your store runs well on a standard theme with a few apps and no custom integrations. Occasional project work covers that.
It is also the wrong hire when nobody on your side owns the store and its data. A single developer with no priorities tends to rebuild instead of fixing what matters.
How much does it cost to hire a BigCommerce developer?
It depends on seniority, the scope of the work and the country the person works from, and any single number describes one scenario and calls it a price.
What is worth understanding is the shape. On Managed Staffing it is one all-in monthly rate per person, with payments, compliance and replacement cover inside it. On Direct Hire it is a one-time fee of 20% to 30% of first-year base salary and the person goes on your payroll. We quote your number before you interview anyone.
Why hire a BigCommerce developer in Latin America?
Overlap. Development runs on code review, standups and incidents, and Latin America and the Caribbean share most of the US working day, so those happen in real time instead of overnight.
The second reason is communication. Your developer writes pull request descriptions, technical notes and status updates in English, and we screen English live on a call.
How does CloudTask hire for this role?
You send your theme or headless setup, the systems your store syncs with, B2B needs and the kind of work and the hours you need covered. We source against that brief and come back with 3 to 5 matched profiles within 48 hours, each one screened on a live call and checked against the stack you named.
You interview and choose. On Managed Staffing we handle payments, compliance and onboarding and stay involved with check-ins. On Direct Hire the person joins your payroll from day one. Both carry a replacement guarantee: 24 months on Managed Staffing, 6 months on Direct Hire.
