Most companies overpay for engineering talent and underpay the engineers doing the work. Jose De Cabo built Remotely to fix that — a fully transparent model where developers set their own rates and companies cut costs by 50% while getting better talent.
In this episode, Jose De Cabo shares:
- How he analyzed 45 million developer profiles through open-source code audits to find the top 2-3% of LATAM engineers
- Why traditional staffing margins are collapsing and how his transparent pricing model disrupts the 100% markup status quo
- Where AI is shifting the bottleneck from "who can code" to "who can orchestrate humans and agents together"
Jose De Cabo is the founder of Remotely, a Columbia Business School grad turned serial entrepreneur who has been building engineering teams in Latin America since 2010. His company employs 500+ senior developers across LATAM with a team of just 30.
