Testimonials
Trusted by teams that hire with us
-
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.

SKILLS
Top skills to look for in a Magento developer
Installing an extension is the entry ticket. These are the skills that decide whether your store stays fast and upgradable as the catalog and the codebase grow.
-
Extending without core edits
Uses modules, plugins, observers and preferences the way the framework intends, and never edits core files.
-
Upgrades as routine
Keeps the store close to supported versions and security patches, and plans upgrades instead of postponing them for years.
-
Caching and indexing
Understands full page cache, Varnish, Redis and indexers, and can explain why a page is slow before changing anything.
-
Extension audits
Reviews third-party extensions for conflicts, performance cost and code quality before they reach production.
-
Integration work
Connects Magento to ERP, PIM and fulfillment systems through the APIs and message queues, with retries and logging.
-
Frontend that loads fast
Works with the theme stack you run, whether Luma-based, Hyvä or headless, and keeps the JavaScript the storefront ships under control.
-
Security discipline
Applies patches promptly, locks down the admin and reviews code that handles payments and customer data.
-
AI output, reviewed
Uses coding assistants for boilerplate modules and tests, and reviews every line that touches checkout or data.
HIRING GUIDE
How to hire Magento developers
Magento is powerful and deep, and a store can be slowed or broken by one careless change. This guide covers what a Magento developer does, how Magento Open Source and Adobe Commerce differ for a hire, what to test, the red flags and when a dedicated Magento developer is the wrong hire.
What does a Magento developer do?
Builds and maintains the code of a Magento store: custom modules, theme work, integrations with the systems around the store, and the upgrades and patches that keep it supported.
Day to day that means shipping features, fixing extension conflicts, tuning caching and indexing, and keeping deployments safe on a platform where small mistakes show up as slow pages or failed orders.
Magento Open Source or Adobe Commerce
Adobe Commerce is the commercial edition of Magento, with extra features and, in many setups, Adobe cloud hosting. Magento Open Source is the free edition that many stores run on their own hosting.
The code base is shared, but hosting, deployment and some features differ. Put the edition, the version and the hosting in the brief so the search is filtered on them.
Upgrades and extensions: where Magento stores go wrong
Stores that skip upgrades for years end up with a large, risky jump, and extensions written for old versions make it harder. Security patches arrive regularly and need to be applied.
A strong candidate can explain how they would plan an upgrade on your store: auditing extensions, removing what is not used, testing on staging and deploying with a rollback plan.
Performance on large catalogs
Slow category pages, long reindexes and a checkout that hangs under load usually come from caching gaps, heavy extensions or custom code that queries too much.
Ask the candidate how they found the last performance problem they fixed. You want to hear about profiling, cache hit rates or query analysis, not only a bigger server.
What to test in a Magento developer interview
Give a small task close to your real work: a module that adds a field to products and shows it on the product page, done without touching core code. Read how they structure the module and whether they use the framework patterns.
Then ask about an upgrade they ran. You want to hear what broke, how they tested and what they would do differently.
Red flags in Magento developer candidates
Edits to core files. A candidate who fixes problems by changing vendor code will block every future upgrade.
Preferences everywhere. Overriding whole classes when a plugin would do causes conflicts with other extensions and breaks on upgrade.
No view on caching. If full page cache and indexers never come up when you talk about speed, performance work will be guesswork.
Patches postponed. A candidate who treats security patches as optional puts your customer data at risk.
Deploying without staging. If they have always pushed straight to production, expect downtime on your store.
When should you not hire a dedicated Magento developer?
When your catalog and your processes are simple and a hosted platform would cover them with less maintenance. A migration project may serve you better than a full-time Magento hire.
It is also the wrong hire when nobody on your side can set priorities for the store. A single developer with no owner for the roadmap tends to postpone upgrades until they become urgent.
How much does it cost to hire a Magento 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 Magento 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 edition and version, the extensions you run, your hosting 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.
