"Before Lupa Hire, we struggled to find a vendor who could match both the volume and the quality we needed to build out our senior development team in Mexico. Lupa gave us real visibility into the pipeline and consistently sent us candidates who actually fit, not just resumes, but people who understood product engineering. It's made a real difference in how fast we've been able to grow the team."
“With Lupa Hire, we rebuilt our entire tech team in less than a month. We’re spending half as much on talent. Ten out of ten”
"We hired 2 of our key initial developers with Lupa Hire. The consultation was very helpful, the candidates were great and the process has been super fluid. We're already planning to do our next batch of hiring with Lupa. 5 stars."
“We’ve worked with Lupa Hire on multiple roles, and they’ve delivered time and again. From sourcing an incredible Senior FullStack Developer to supporting our broader hiring needs, their team has been proactive, kind, and incredibly easy to work with. It really feels like we’ve gained a trusted partner in hiring.”
"Lupa Hire goes beyond typical headhunters. They helped me craft the role, refine the interview process, and even navigate international payroll. I felt truly supported—and I’m thrilled with the person I hired. What stood out most was their responsiveness and the thoughtful, consultative approach they brought."
"What Growth99 loves about working with Lupa Hire is how well they understand our needs. They don't just fill one role; they help us build out a whole team that fits together."
“The quality of candidates is great. Your pricing is reasonable. People are great to work with. I can't imagine a better experience.”

Top Automation Developer Interview Questions
Questions to ask Automation Developers in interviews
What’s your experience with workflow automation platforms?
Look for tools like Zapier, n8n, Airflow, or custom scripts. They should discuss orchestration, reliability, and scaling strategies.
Can you describe a time you automated a manual process?
Expect a clear before/after impact. Look for attention to edge cases, integrations, and user adoption.
How do you handle error recovery in automated systems?
Listen for retry logic, circuit breakers, alerting systems, and fallback plans. Resilience is key.
What’s your approach to testing automation workflows?
Candidates should explain unit/integration testing, mocks, and dry runs. Bonus for using CI/CD pipelines or test coverage tools.
Which scripting languages or tools do you use for automation?
Expect Python, Bash, PowerShell, or automation-specific tools. Look for flexibility in APIs, scheduling, and logs.
How do you identify bottlenecks in an automation pipeline?
Look for step-by-step tracing, performance logging, and root cause prioritization.
Describe a time an automation failed silently. How did you detect and fix it?
Expect log monitoring, alerting strategies, and implementing safeguards or sanity checks.
What’s your process for troubleshooting inconsistent task execution?
Expect isolation of variables, timing analysis, and workflow retries with idempotency.
How do you handle tool conflicts or integrations that fail?
Look for use of API mocks, staged environments, and fallback or retry logic design.
How do you design automation systems for resilience?
Expect graceful failure handling, retries, circuit breakers, and redundancy in workflows.
Tell me about a time your automation script caused unexpected issues.
Expect ownership, quick recovery steps, and preventive improvements.
Describe how you handle repetitive work before automation is in place.
Look for systems thinking, process mapping, and iteration mindset.
How do you respond when stakeholders underestimate the time to automate?

Describe a project where you simplified a complex workflow through automation.
Expect creativity, documentation quality, and impact on operations.
How do you ensure long-term maintainability in your automation projects?
Look for clarity in code, documentation, and consideration for future scaling.
- Overcomplicating scripts without scalability in mind
- Lack of logging or error-handling in automation flows

Book a Consultation Call
I help companies hire exceptional talent in Latin America. My journey took me from growing up in a small town in Ohio to building teams at Capital One, Meta, and eventually Rappi, for which I moved from Silicon Valley to Colombia and had to recruit a local tech team from scratch. That’s where I realized traditional recruiting was broken, and how much available potential there was in Latin American talent. Almost ten years later, I still work closely with Latin American professionals, both for my company and for clients. They know US business culture, speak great English, work in the same time zones, and bring strong skills and dedication at a better cost. We have helped companies like Rappi, Globant, Capital One, Google, and IBM build their teams with top talent from the region.
