What We Look For
The CRB+ standard for nearshore talent
- Automation framework experience matched to your tech stack
- CI/CD integration — quality gates built into the pipeline, not bolted on
- Strong English communication with engineering and product teams
- Track record of measurably improving release quality across distributed teams
Why Nearshore Is Different
Strong SDETs are software engineers who chose testing — rare in any market. In Latin America, CRB+ has built the relationships to find them efficiently without compromising on quality bar.
Our Approach
We look for engineers who can speak to both manual and automated test strategy and who have worked in fully remote, US-timezone environments before. Time zone alignment is table stakes — the rest is the hard part.
