Remote Full-Stack Developer at Zipdev - LATAM — Columbus
Traveler-Friendly Insight
Remote-First, LATAM-Focused Role
This is a fully remote position running Monday–Friday, 40 hours per week, with no weekend requirements. Zipdev explicitly celebrates the remote nature of this role, which is a positive signal for location-independent workers. However, the allowed countries are limited to Colombia, Mexico, Chile, and Argentina, meaning you must be legally permitted to work from one of these four countries — not freely nomadic across the globe.
Timezone Considerations: All four allowed countries fall within UTC-3 to UTC-6 (depending on season and region), which aligns well with US-based client hours. Expect some synchronous overlap with US Eastern or Central time, though the posting doesn't mandate specific hours beyond the standard 40-hour week.
Nomad-Friendly Destinations Within Allowed Countries:
- Medellín, Colombia – A top digital nomad hub with coworking spaces, fast internet, and a low cost of living (~$1,200–$1,800/month). Colombia also offers a Digital Nomad Visa valid up to 2 years.
- Mexico City or Oaxaca, Mexico – Vibrant nomad scenes; Mexico's Temporary Resident Visa is accessible for remote workers.
- Buenos Aires, Argentina – Low cost of living due to favorable exchange rates, strong tech community, and a nascent digital nomad visa program.
No equipment stipend, coworking allowance, or travel perks are mentioned in the posting — worth clarifying during interviews.
