## FAQ

**Tech jobs in Mexico: common questions**

### How many tech jobs are open in Mexico right now?

Feeny lists about 1,204 active tech roles in Mexico, drawn from 254 companies. These are live listings we keep refreshed, not a stale count from last quarter. Mexico City carries the bulk of it, with Monterrey close behind. If a role appears here, it was open the last time we checked the source.

### Which cities in Mexico have the most tech jobs?

Mexico City dominates the 2 cities we track, and it is where most engineering hiring concentrates. Monterrey is the clear second, with a fintech and nearshore engineering base of its own. Together the two account for the large majority of the country's tech openings. Outside those, volume thins out fast.

### What companies are hiring for tech roles in Mexico?

Fintech built the modern Mexican tech scene, and the names prove it: Kavak reinvented used-car sales, Clip took payments to small merchants, and Bitso became a crypto anchor for the region. They grew big businesses off an underbanked population and a young workforce. Nearshoring to the US keeps pulling in engineering work on top of the homegrown companies. Payments and e-commerce are where most of the hiring sits.

### What kinds of tech roles are common in Mexico?

Fintech leads, thanks to companies like Clip and Bitso serving customers the banks never reached. E-commerce is the other steady source of roles, alongside a large and growing pool of nearshore engineering work for US firms. A lot of that US-facing work is remote or contract rather than a local office job. Backend and full-stack skills carry well across all three.

### What is it like to work in tech in Mexico?

Mexico City is the largest tech market in Spanish-speaking Latin America, and it has the energy of a place that built real fintech companies in a short window. Cost of living sits well below US cities, which is part of why nearshoring took off here. The trade is that local salaries are modest, and the highest-paying work is often remote for a foreign company rather than a local one. For engineers who can land that remote work, the math is very good.

### Can international candidates get a work visa to work in tech in Mexico?

The formal route is a Temporary Resident visa with work permission, which an employer sponsors. In practice, though, the market mostly hires local and nearshore talent, and a large share of US-facing work is remote or contract rather than a relocation. That makes moving to Mexico for a tech job less common than the visa process alone would suggest. If your goal is Mexican tech work, remote nearshore roles are the realistic path far more often than physical relocation.
