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 Next.js developer
React experience gets someone started. These are the skills that decide whether a Next.js app stays fast, indexable and predictable in production.
-
Rendering per page
Chooses static generation, server rendering or client rendering for each route, and can explain the trade-off.
-
The server and client boundary
Keeps components on the server by default and marks only what needs the browser as client code.
-
Caching understood
Knows what Next.js caches, for how long and how to revalidate it, so pages are neither stale nor slow.
-
SEO built in
Metadata, canonical URLs, sitemaps and structured data generated from the app, not added by hand later.
-
Core Web Vitals
Optimizes images, fonts and scripts, and measures real user performance instead of a single lab score.
-
Deployment and hosting
Comfortable on Vercel or self-hosted, with environment variables, previews and rollbacks handled cleanly.
-
Headless integrations
Connects a headless CMS, commerce platform or API and handles preview, revalidation and errors.
-
Security on the server
Validates input in server actions and route handlers and keeps secrets out of client bundles.
HIRING GUIDE
How to hire Next.js developers
Next.js decisions made early, about routing, rendering and caching, decide how fast and findable your pages are later, and reversing them is expensive. This guide covers what a Next.js developer does, what to test, the red flags and when Next.js is the wrong hire.
What does a Next.js developer do?
Builds React applications on Next.js: pages and routes, data fetching on the server, the split between server and client components, and the deployment that serves them.
On many teams they own the public site and the product front end together, so performance, SEO and integrations with a CMS or commerce backend are part of the job.
App Router or Pages Router: why it matters
Next.js has two routing systems. The App Router is built on React Server Components and changes how data fetching, layouts and caching work. Many existing apps still run the Pages Router.
Say which one you run, and whether a migration is planned. Experience in one does not fully transfer to the other.
Rendering and caching: where most Next.js apps go wrong
A page that should be static ends up rendered on every request, or a page that should be fresh serves stale data for hours. Both come from caching and rendering choices nobody made on purpose.
A strong candidate can explain what your main pages should use and how content updates reach users.
What to test in a Next.js developer interview
Give a small task close to your real work: a page that fetches data on the server, shows a list and has one interactive filter. Read what stays on the server, what becomes client code and how errors and loading are handled.
Then ask how they would make a slow product page fast. You want to hear about measurement, caching and images, not only adding a loading spinner.
Red flags in Next.js developer candidates
Use client everywhere. Marking every file as client code throws away the main benefit of the framework and grows the bundle.
Caching as a mystery. If they cannot say how a page gets fresh data, expect stale content or slow pages in production.
Secrets in the browser. Environment variables exposed to the client, or unvalidated input in server actions, are security problems.
SEO as an afterthought. If metadata and canonical URLs only come up when you ask, your pages will ship without them.
Only one router. A candidate who has never worked in the router you run needs time you should plan for.
When should you not hire a dedicated Next.js developer?
When your app lives entirely behind a login and search engines do not matter. A plain React developer with a simpler setup may be enough.
It is also the wrong hire when nobody on your side can review code or set priorities. A single developer with no technical lead tends to build what is interesting instead of what the business needs.
How much does it cost to hire a Next.js 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 Next.js 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 the router and hosting you use, the CMS or backend it talks to, 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.
