How We Source Talent
The top 3% — and nothing less.
Finding a senior engineer is easy. Finding one who is battle-tested, communicates clearly in English, and integrates into an existing team on day one is a different challenge entirely. Our multi-stage vetting process was built specifically for that second requirement.
Every candidate in the EnygmaLab network has passed a live coding assessment, a system design interview, and a structured soft-skills evaluation — conducted by senior engineers, not recruiters. We test for real-world problem-solving under pressure, architectural thinking at scale, and the communication patterns that make distributed collaboration work.
- Live coding challenge — no take-home, no tricks
- System design interview with senior engineer panel
- English communication & async collaboration assessment
- Reference checks and prior project validation
Why Nearshore LatAm?
Latin America has produced a generation of world-class engineers trained at top universities, shaped by fast-moving startup ecosystems, and fully fluent in the tools, languages, and practices that modern product companies run on.
The difference between nearshore LatAm and offshore alternatives is not just price — it is timezone overlap. Real-time collaboration with your team in New York, San Francisco, or Toronto means standups happen live, blockers get unblocked same-day, and your roadmap moves at the speed you need.

Meet Our CEO
Anthony Barrera
Founder & CEO
Anthony is a software engineer and entrepreneur based in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic. Before founding EnygmaLab, he led engineering teams across multiple product companies, building distributed systems and scaling technical orgs from early-stage through growth.
He founded EnygmaLab with a single conviction: the best engineers in Latin America deserved a direct path to world-class companies — and those companies deserved access to talent that meets their bar without the overhead of a traditional hiring cycle. That conviction is the operating principle behind everything EnygmaLab does.
