Anyone want a job? They are looking for the best developers, you just need to live in Columbia or the Philippines...

Reminds me of that Walmart documentary, "The Cost of Low Prices".

Of course they aren't, you'll have good and bad devs in expensive and cheap locales alike. There might be language or cultural barriers that make collaboration across country lines, but that's pretty much it.
I've never seen anything like this before. What's the reason for hiring this way?
If all their jobs were in Colombia, I'd assume that there's something legally that makes it hard for them to hire internationally, but they have roles lots of roles in the Philippines and a few roles elsewhere, so I'm stumped.
Companies do it mostly due to timezone and beurocratic reasons (they can't pay salary/tax abroad).
And it may be too harsh to judge a whole country and its talent just because a company whose servers are down hire talent there. What about the AWS engineers in those countries? Or Airbnb, Stripe, Twilio, etc?
