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 TypeScript developer
Adding TypeScript to a resume is easy. These are the skills that decide whether types hold a codebase together or become noise nobody trusts.
-
Types that model the domain
Uses unions and precise types so invalid states cannot be represented, instead of optional fields everywhere.
-
Generics with restraint
Writes generic helpers when they remove duplication, and keeps them readable for the rest of the team.
-
Strict mode on
Works with strict null checks and no implicit any, and fixes the errors rather than silencing them.
-
Validation at the edges
Knows types disappear at runtime and validates data from APIs and users where it enters the system.
-
Incremental migration
Moves a JavaScript codebase to TypeScript file by file, starting where types pay off most, without stopping feature work.
-
Shared types across services
Keeps front end and back end types in sync, from generated API clients or shared packages.
-
Tooling and build
Configures the compiler, linting and builds so type errors are caught in CI, not by users.
-
Readable type errors
Designs types whose errors point to the real problem, so other developers can fix them without help.
HIRING GUIDE
How to hire TypeScript developers
TypeScript is now the default for many JavaScript teams, so the question is not whether a candidate has used it but how well they design types. This guide covers what a TypeScript developer does, migrations, what to test, the red flags and when a dedicated TypeScript hire is the wrong call.
What does a TypeScript developer do?
Builds applications and libraries in TypeScript, on the front end, the back end or both. Beyond writing features, they design the types that describe your data and keep the compiler useful as the codebase grows.
On many teams they also own the shared types between services, the compiler settings and the gradual migration of older JavaScript code.
TypeScript or a framework specialist: which do you need?
TypeScript is a language, not a framework. Most hires are really a React, Angular, Node.js or NestJS developer who writes TypeScript well.
Put the framework in the brief. Ask for a TypeScript specialist when the job itself is types: a shared library, an SDK, a migration or a monorepo that many teams depend on.
Migrating from JavaScript
A migration works best in steps: turn on the compiler for the whole project, type the most shared modules first and raise strictness over time.
Ask candidates how they would start on your codebase. A strong answer names where types pay off first and how the team keeps shipping during the migration.
What to test in a TypeScript developer interview
Give a small task close to your real work: type an API response with several shapes and write a function that handles each one. Read whether they use a discriminated union or reach for casts.
Then show them a function full of any and optional fields and ask how they would tighten it. A strong answer removes impossible states and explains what errors the change will catch.
Red flags in TypeScript developer candidates
Any as the answer. A candidate who silences every error with any or a cast gets the build time of TypeScript without the safety.
Types trusted at runtime. If they assume an API response matches its type without validating it, bad data reaches the app unchecked.
Clever types nobody can read. Deeply nested conditional types in simple code make the rest of the team afraid to change it.
Strict mode off. A preference for loose settings usually means the codebase has hidden null bugs.
No migration experience. If every example started in TypeScript, ask directly how they would type an older JavaScript module.
When should you not hire a dedicated TypeScript developer?
When the work is really about one framework or platform. Hire the React, Angular or Node.js developer with strong TypeScript instead of a language generalist.
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 TypeScript 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 TypeScript 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 frameworks and runtime you use, your compiler settings, whether a migration is part of the 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.
