The Smart Guide to Hiring Brazilian Engineers is a free interactive guide published by Kaptas Global for founders, CTOs, and engineering leaders at U.S. technology companies who are evaluating whether — and how — to hire senior remote talent in Brazil. The guide covers what hiring a senior Brazilian engineer actually costs in 2026 (loaded cost, not just gross salary), the practical trade-offs between CLT, PJ, and Employer-of-Record (EOR) hiring models, how to evaluate technical depth and business-level English beyond the resume, the remote-readiness and async-communication signals that separate strong remote operators from average ones, what time-zone overlap with U.S. East Coast and Pacific Time looks like day-to-day, and the most common pitfalls foreign companies hit on their first Brazilian hire — and how to avoid them. Access is gated: U.S. founders, CTOs, and engineering leaders share name, work email, company, and role, and the guide then opens in a new tab. It is written for the bootstrapped or seed-stage segment that does not yet have a formal talent-acquisition function and where the technical leader is still personally running hiring. Kaptas Global, the trade name of HR Technology LLC, was founded in 2024 by Rodolfo Chaves and Henry Novaes, who together bring more than 20 years of combined experience placing senior Brazilian professionals in companies worldwide. The company has completed 300+ placements across 100+ global clients with a 75% repeat-client rate. Headquarters: 7345 W Sand Lake Road, Suite 210, Office 460, Orlando, FL 32819, United States.
