Silver.dev connects senior software engineers from Latin America with technology startups worldwide. Founded in 2023 by Gabriel Benmergui, a career staff engineer with hiring experience, the company operates from San Francisco with a strong presence in Buenos Aires and maintains a thriving community of seasoned engineers across Argentina.
The company's model moves beyond traditional recruiting placement. It provides technical advisory services for founders and engineering leaders, English coaching to improve communication for international roles, and manages a Slack community for senior engineers in the region. Silver.dev explicitly focuses on senior talent only and emphasizes long-term team building over volume hiring, with transparent economics from the outset.
The platform serves startups globally seeking engineering talent while prioritizing retention and sustainable hiring practices rather than short-term labor arbitrage. Engineers gain access to advisory support, language development, and a community of peers alongside placement opportunities.
