Everything operational, handled by BEON.
Contractor or employer of record?
Most Costa Rican engineers work as independent contractors. BEON handles contracts, invoicing and compliance, with an employer-of-record option if you prefer formal employment.
Currency and payments
You pay BEON a single USD invoice. We handle local payment to the engineer, so you never deal with colones or local banking.
Notice periods
BEON contracts carry a 30-day termination notice and you only pay for active talent.
Holidays and PTO
Costa Rica observes roughly 11 public holidays a year. We coordinate vacation planning against your roadmap.
IP protection
Every engagement includes IP assignment and an NDA under US-enforceable contracts. Costa Rica is a WIPO and TRIPS signatory, and has hosted regulated multinational operations for decades.
Questions about hiring in Costa Rica? We got you.
What does a senior Costa Rican developer cost?
Roughly $80K to $100K per year all-in through BEON, including recruitment, equipment and benefits, against $200K to $240K+ for an equivalent US hire.
What's the time difference with the US?
Costa Rica is GMT-6 and doesn't observe daylight saving. That's US Central time in winter and one hour behind it in summer, so your overlap is complete and never shifts unexpectedly.
Do Costa Rican developers speak English?
Every BEON engineer passes an English fluency check before you meet them. Costa Rica’s multinational sector has produced a large pool of engineers who have worked in English for their whole careers.
What are Costa Rican developers strongest in?
Backend and full-stack engineering, and QA is unusually deep: 290+ QA engineers in our network here, well above comparable markets. If quality process matters to you, this is the strongest country in our set for it.
