Get a full-time, senior full-stack developer from Latin America, embedded in your team at $3,500 to $4,500 per month, all-in. Working your hours, month-to-month, nothing owed until you hire.
TRUSTED BY MARKETING AGENCIES ACROSS THE U.S.
Most marketing and creative teams do not need a dedicated engineering department. They need one senior developer who can own the site end to end: front-end, back-end, integrations, and the fixes that come up mid-campaign. A senior full-stack developer is that person. Hiring one full-time in the US is expensive; a senior full-stack developer from Latin America, embedded in your team, gives you that coverage for far less, working your hours.
A senior full-stack developer builds and maintains both the front end (what a visitor sees and clicks) and the back end (the logic, data, and integrations behind it): landing pages, CMS builds on platforms like Webflow, WordPress, or Shopify, custom features, API integrations, and the ongoing fixes that come with running a live site during an active campaign. They are the person who turns a design file or a campaign brief into something that actually works in a browser, and keeps it working.
Mike Bodkin, Co-Founder & CEO, Talent Scout. Before I built Talent Scout, I ran a marketing agency for a decade, and a strong developer was the difference between a campaign that shipped on time and one blocked for a week on a fix nobody owned. That is the bar every developer hire gets screened against today.
Development work is iterative: a bug found during a launch, a landing page that needs a same-day fix, a build that needs a developer live on the call with your team. A nearshore full-stack developer from Latin America works US hours, joins your standups, and can turn around a fix the same day instead of the next one, which is why nearshore beats offshore for this work, as we cover in nearshore vs offshore staffing. You get a senior specialist, five-plus years deep, screened for 8+/10 English, at $3,500 to $4,500 per month, all-in.
| Option | What you get | Typical cost |
|---|---|---|
| Embedded nearshore hire (Talent Scout) | Full-time senior full-stack developer, dedicated to you, US hours | $3,500 to $4,500/mo, all-in |
| Agency | A shared team, not dedicated to you | $3,000 to $10,000/mo retainer |
| Freelancer | Per-project execution, variable availability | Per project, variable |
A note on what is missing from this table. Our 2026 salary report does not yet carry a sourced US fully loaded figure for a combined full-stack role. It sources front-end and back-end development separately, and stitching those two rows together into an implied full-stack number would be a guess dressed up as data, which we will not do. We are not publishing a number we cannot stand behind. What we can tell you is our own number, the one we control: a full-time senior full-stack developer through Talent Scout runs $3,500 to $4,500 a month, all-in, in line with the up to 70% savings our clients see across roles compared to an equivalent US hire, with free replacements at any time. We will add a sourced full-stack line to the salary report and update this page once we do.
Tell us your stack and what the role needs to own. We source and vet from our Latin American network, screening for five-plus years of relevant experience and 8+/10 English fluency. We present the first round of candidates within 10 business days. You interview and choose. We handle employment, compliance, contracts, and cross-border payments, so you manage the specialist like any team member. It is month-to-month, nothing is owed until you hire, and every placement includes a full 30/60/90 onboarding arc and free replacements at any time. It is the same embedded model behind outsourced marketing and marketing staff augmentation.
Hire one when your site needs an owner instead of a rotating cast of freelancers; when campaigns keep getting blocked on a small dev fix nobody has time for; when you are moving off a template builder and need real engineering; or when you want development capacity in-house without US developer cost. If your roadmap has more than a handful of build requests a month, a dedicated developer usually pays for itself fast.
