Engineering Role Categories

Build roles that think together. From AI systems engineers to React experts, every hire is mapped to cognitive and operational DNA for optimal nearshore velocity.

Build cognitive-aligned nearshore teams in Latin America. Each engineering role — frontend, backend, DevOps, data, or platform — is selected not by résumé but by reasoning. TeamStation AI identifies how each engineer thinks, ensuring they integrate with your architecture from day one.

Cognitive Architecture ➜ Teams that Think Together

At TeamStation, roles form part of a distributed cognitive network. Each function — from UI design to cloud engineering — is modeled for reasoning compatibility. We measure not just skill, but the mental patterns that define how engineers solve, collaborate, and adapt.

Reduced Cognitive Friction

Balanced reasoning modes lower iteration latency and reduce misunderstandings.

Team Reasoning Mesh

Engineers with complementary cognitive grammars reduce decision collisions and improve solution quality.

Operational Throughput

Cognitive calibration increases delivery velocity by 42% after sprint three.

How We Determine Your Rate: A Transparent Model

Role & Talent Signal

  • Level & scope (L1–L4), ownership, leadership signals
  • Stack fit & specialization (AI/ML, Salesforce, etc.)
  • Interview evidence (technical correctness, mental model)
  • Candidate salary requirements & scarcity premiums

Country & Statutory Reality

  • Holidays/PTO cadence that won’t break sprints
  • Statutory items (social contributions, mandated bonuses)
  • FX, banking & cross-border transfer fees
  • City-level compensation benchmarks

Platform Services & Risk Shield (Included)

  • Company devices with MDM, patch SLAs, endpoint monitoring
  • Security workflows, IP/NDAs, incident response guardrails
  • Day-one readiness (access, 30-60-90 plan)
  • Employer of Record (EOR)—we carry employer liability
  • Background checks, contracts, payroll & benefits admin

Delivery & Utilization (Time = Money)

  • Time-to-Offer ≈ 9 days; first PR 7–14 days
  • Short-list relevance ≥85%; mismatch ≤10%
  • Fewer vacancy days = less ARR lost to hiring latency
  • Faster ramp = earlier value recognition
  • Predictable cost per productive engineer

Engineering Archetypes for the AI Era

Explore the cognitive role families below. Each one is mapped to reasoning archetypes that power composable nearshore pods — optimized for reliability, adaptability, and high-signal collaboration.

Proof ➜ Quantifiable Precision

9-Day Time-to-Offer

Automated vetting pipelines deliver fully evaluated candidates in under 10 days.

95% Day-One Tool Readiness

All engineers are CI/CD provisioned with full environment compatibility verified.

42% Delivery Acceleration

Cognitive calibration across pods enables faster alignment and fewer regressions.

Elite, Not Top 5%

Most platforms chase test scores. We map cognition under pressure—who leads, adapts, and multiplies team intelligence. That’s the difference between fast and elite.

“A U.S. healthtech scaled its product platform using LATAM engineers from TeamStation. After cognitive calibration, average sprint velocity improved 38%, and onboarding dropped from 18 to 9 days. The key wasn’t better code — it was better alignment of reasoning modes.”
