SyrenCloud, Inc. – IT recruitment of 3 senior backend developers from Latin America for a leading data platform company

Tsiala Jobava

Introduction

SyrenCloud Inc., a US-based data and cloud solutions provider, needed to scale its backend engineering team to meet growing enterprise demand. To extend its global reach and support scalable infrastructure, data workflows, and API development, the company expanded to Latin America for experienced backend talent.

After having trouble finding skilled backend developers who could work within their North American timezones, SyrenCloud turned to DevsData LLC to lead a focused recruitment initiative. The goal was to fill three senior backend roles with engineers experienced in remote, distributed, and cloud-native environments – professionals who could immediately contribute to building robust ETL pipelines, developing custom APIs, and strengthening SyrenCloud’s Azure-based data infrastructure.

Client overview

Founded in 2020 and headquartered in Washington, SyrenCloud Inc. is a leading provider of cloud adoption, data engineering, and infrastructure solutions for global enterprises. The company specializes in:

• End-to-end cloud migration across hybrid and multi-cloud environments.
• Custom API development for data flow and integration.
• Scalable ETL and ELT pipelines for structured and unstructured data.
• Data governance, quality frameworks, and cloud-native analytics.
• IoT, AI/ML, and DevOps integration across modern cloud stacks.

With a global headcount of over 500 employees and active delivery centers in the US and India, SyrenCloud continues to expand its presence in the Americas through distributed team models.

Project scope & objectives

SyrenCloud discovered DevsData LLC through Crunchbase, where our proven track record in cloud and data engineering recruitment stood out. They engaged us to recruit three senior backend developers from Latin America to support their expanding data and cloud operations. The roles were designed to enhance SyrenCloud’s engineering capabilities in key areas like data ingestion, backend reliability, and scalable API development – all within a remote-first setup.

The developers would be integrated into core teams responsible for managing distributed data workflows, particularly across Azure environments. Key responsibilities included building and maintaining high-volume ETL pipelines, implementing custom APIs for internal and external use, and ensuring the secure and efficient operation of backend services.

These were senior-level roles requiring more than just deep technical expertise. Ideal candidates need a strong command of Azure cloud services, proven experience with large-scale ETL pipelines and API development, and the ability to make architectural decisions independently. They also had to demonstrate leadership within remote, cross-functional teams, proactively manage complex data workflows, and communicate clearly across timezones and stakeholders.

The client emphasized the importance of finding professionals who could contribute immediately to ongoing projects and adapt to shifting priorities. DevsData LLC was tasked with delivering a shortlist of candidates who could meet all these expectations promptly.

Challenges & constraints

Although the mandate was clear, several factors made the recruitment process particularly demanding:

These constraints demanded a highly targeted recruitment approach, fast enough to meet SyrenCloud’s delivery timelines yet rigorous enough to vet for deep technical expertise, timezone alignment, and remote-readiness without cutting corners.

Strategic recruitment approach

To meet SyrenCloud’s specific requirements, DevsData LLC implemented a regionally targeted recruitment strategy focused on Latin America, with special attention to countries like Brazil, Mexico, Colombia, and Argentina. These locations offered access to a strong pool of senior engineers with relevant cloud and data engineering experience while also ensuring better alignment with the client’s preferred timezones.

The recruitment team focused on candidates with strong experience in Azure infrastructure, Python development, ETL pipelines, and cloud-native systems. We sourced talent through our internal database, targeted LinkedIn outreach, and engineering communities across Brazil, Mexico, Colombia, and Argentina. Referrals from past placements also played a key role. In addition to technical skills, we screened for communication, adaptability, and the ability to thrive in asynchronous, remote teams.

Each candidate went through a multi-stage process that included technical assessments, cloud scenario evaluations, and structured interviews centered on real-world experience in large-scale data environments. We also evaluated prior remote work experience and collaboration in global, distributed teams.

To ensure only the most qualified professionals reached the final stage, we applied a rigorous, multi-phase screening process. Here’s a breakdown of the recruitment pipeline:

This structured approach allowed us to filter from a wide candidate pool and deliver only the most technically and culturally aligned engineers to SyrenCloud.

Throughout the process, DevsData LLC maintained close contact with SyrenCloud’s hiring managers and technical stakeholders. We adjusted the search criteria based on interview feedback, ensuring that every profile submitted was highly aligned with the team’s expectations in both skill set and working style.

“This was a complex search, not just because of the technical bar, but because SyrenCloud had specific expectations for collaboration style and cloud maturity. Every candidate we submitted had to demonstrate not just skill, but the ability to work across a high-scale, distributed system.” – Arev P., Recruitment Specialist at DevsData LLC

Results & impact

Within six weeks, DevsData LLC successfully delivered three senior backend engineers from Latin America who met SyrenCloud’s technical, cultural, and timezone requirements.

The selected professionals came from Brazil, Mexico, and Colombia, each with over 7 years of experience in backend development, cloud infrastructure, and data engineering. Their backgrounds included work on enterprise-scale systems, Azure cloud services, and large ETL workflows for financial and SaaS companies. All three had previously worked in fully remote roles and were well-versed in asynchronous collaboration.

They quickly integrated into SyrenCloud’s project teams and began contributing to:

• High-volume data ingestion across multi-cloud environments.
• Custom API development for client data systems.
• Improvements to ETL reliability and performance.
• Infrastructure monitoring and error handling within Azure services.

These hires enabled SyrenCloud to accelerate ongoing client projects, reduce pressure on internal US-based teams, and extend engineering coverage across timezones, allowing for near-continuous development and smoother global coordination.

The client expressed high satisfaction with the quality of the hires, their technical depth, and their ability to take ownership within weeks of joining the team.
