AI fuels US companies' hiring of LatAm developers

U.S. tech companies are increasingly hiring Latin American developers through platforms like Revelo, driven by demand for AI model post-training expertise. This surge is happening despite a broader return to in-person work. Revelo, a platform with over 400,000 vetted developers, is experiencing increased demand for engineers specializing in LLM training. This demand is fueled by the need for expert human data to improve AI models, particularly in coding. Revelo's success, with over $48 million in funding, is attributed to its focus on nearshoring talent in similar time zones. The company has acquired competitors and plans further expansion to meet the growing demand for AI-focused developers.
