Why hire backend developers in Costa Rica

Costa Rica has hosted multinational shared-services centres for decades: high English levels and US corporate culture.

APIs, databases and service architecture: Node, Python, Java, Go, .NET and PHP are the most frequent stacks in the network.

Of the profiles on this page, 6 have five or more years of experience. They all work remotely, and the overlap with a team in the United States is a full working day or close to it; with Spain there is schedule compatibility, with a shared working window.

Frequently asked questions

How many backend developers from Costa Rica can I see here?

Right now there are 66+ backend developers in Costa Rica in the network, and 17+ have a public SPK profile with an intro video. The list is refreshed every week with profiles from the Simera network, the same one the Interfell search queries live.

Do I need to sign up to see the profiles?

Not to search or to see this list: that’s open, no sign-up. To open a profile’s SPK with video and request an interview you create a free account with your work email: you get a 6-digit code, no password. Contact details and the CV are only shared once you move forward with Interfell in a hiring process.

How much does it cost to hire a backend developer in Costa Rica?

It depends on seniority and stack. The public reference is Interfell's Latin America salary guide; the total cost adds Interfell's fee. The professional works as an independent contractor: Interfell signs the contract, pays and manages them, so you don't need to open an entity in Costa Rica. Interfell is not an employer of record (EOR).

What hours do they work?

Costa Rica is at UTC-6 (one hour behind New York), so the overlap with US teams is a full working day or close to it; with Spain there is schedule compatibility, with a shared working window.

How is a profile verified?

Every profile here has an SPK: a public card with an intro video recorded by the person, declared skills and experience. No video, no listing. On top of that, Interfell runs its own technical evaluation before presenting anyone to a client.
