Top Remote Roles U.S. Businesses Are Hiring in Colombia Right Now.

(2025 EDITION)

What do Slack, Notion, and HubSpot have in common (besides billion-dollar valuations)? They’re all expanding globally without opening offices everywhere — and they’re tapping into places like Colombia to do it.

If you think remote hiring is just about cost savings, you're missing the bigger play. Right now, Colombia is quietly becoming a backchannel for talent that’s just as skilled as in the U.S., but more affordable, faster to onboard, and hungry to prove it.

So, what roles are U.S. companies hiring for in Colombia — and why now? Let’s break it down.

Why Colombia? (And Why Now)

Colombia's appeal lies in its combination of cost-effectiveness, skilled workforce, and cultural compatibility.  The country's emphasis on digital infrastructure and education has fostered a generation of professionals adept in various domains, particularly in technology and customer service.

In other words:

• Same time zone. No 2am Slack messages.

• Bilingual workforce. Most remote hires speak English fluently.

• Highly educated, tech-savvy, and underpriced — for now.

It’s not about outsourcing. It’s about building a better way to hire.

The Top Remote Roles U.S. Companies Are Filling in Colombia

These aren’t filler positions—they’re high-value and critical roles that drive growth.

1. Software Developers & Engineers

Colombia boasts over 60,000 developers, with an expected 18% growth in remote tech jobs in the coming years.

From React to Python, Colombian engineers are building real products for SaaS and fintech teams abroad.

Developer salaries are 60–70% lower than U.S. averages, but skill levels are globally competitive.

Hot roles: 

• Frontend developers

• QA testers

• DevOps

• Mobile app developers

2. Customer Support & Success

The country's strong English proficiency and customer-centric culture make it ideal for support roles.

Colombian reps are supporting U.S. customers across industries — from DTC to enterprise tech.

Why it works: High cultural alignment + customer service mindset = better retention.

3. Sales Development Reps (SDRs)

If you’re scaling a sales team, SDRs are your frontline — and Colombia is delivering.

You’ll find reps who speak excellent English, know their way around CRMs like Salesforce and HubSpot, and understand how to build pipeline the right way. They’re coachable, motivated, and operating in your time zone.

Average salary: $18,000–$30,000/year (U.S. average for entry-level SDRs? $60K+ before commission.)

4. Digital Marketing Specialists

Colombian marketers are known for their creativity and adaptability. They’re launching campaigns, driving traffic, and bringing creative fire to growth strategies.

From paid media to organic content to lifecycle email flows, they know how to execute — and they’ve got global experience. Many have worked with U.S. brands directly, both agency-side and in-house.

You get strategic contributors who move fast, adapt quickly, and already speak your customers’ language — literally and culturally.

U.S. digital marketers in the same roles typically earn $50K–$80K+, whereas, in Colombia, you can get the same and more experience for somewhere between $25K and 45K/year.

5. Virtual Assistants & Admin Support

Forget the old image of task-takers. This is no longer about calendar management only.

Today’s remote assistants act more like remote team coordinators — owning scheduling, inboxes, data management, reporting, and even light project management.

Colombian professionals are detail-oriented, highly responsive, and culturally aligned with North American teams — making them a natural fit for executive support.
