Build a global team for your San Francisco company

It depends on the role, but the most common destinations for Bay Area companies are:

• Mexico — nearshore engineering and customer success. Same time zones, 40-60% cost savings versus SF. Learn more about Mexico.
• Philippines — customer support, sales, and operations at scale with excellent English fluency. Learn more about the Philippines.
• Poland — senior engineering, product, and data roles. Strong technical foundations and EU compliance built in. Learn more about Poland.
• Brazil — engineering, design, and product talent across LATAM's largest tech ecosystem. Learn more about Brazil.
• Colombia — nearshore engineering and bilingual sales/support. Learn more about Colombia.
• India — engineering at scale plus specialized expertise in ML, data, and DevOps. Learn more about India.

Lundi helps you pick the right country for each role rather than defaulting to one location for everything.

Most EORs handle compliance and payroll for hires you've already found. Lundi is end-to-end: we help you decide which country to hire in, source and screen candidates, handle EOR/PEO services for compliant employment, and manage payroll, benefits, and people ops on an ongoing basis.

For a Bay Area company hiring its first international team member, this means you don't need to know in advance whether Mexico, the Philippines, or Poland is right — we'll help you decide based on the role, then handle everything from there.

For a company already running 5+ international hires, Lundi consolidates what would otherwise be three or four vendors (sourcing agencies, EORs, payroll providers, people ops tools) into one relationship across 70+ countries.

The pattern we see most often with Bay Area clients:

• Engineering — senior software engineers in Poland, Brazil, or India; mid-level engineers in Mexico or Colombia.
• Customer support and success — typically the Philippines for 24/7 coverage, or Mexico for SF-time-zone bilingual English/Spanish support.
• Sales development and BDR teams — Philippines or Colombia for cost-efficient outbound; Poland for European market coverage.
• Product, design, and operations — Brazil, Mexico, and Poland for senior talent that can collaborate during SF working hours.

Lundi can help you build a single role or a full department in any of these countries.

Most San Francisco clients are interviewing candidates within 2 weeks of kickoff and have signed offers within 4-6 weeks. The exact timeline depends on role seniority and country:

• Mexico and the Philippines — fastest, often 3-4 weeks to signed offer due to deep talent pipelines.
• Poland and Brazil — 4-6 weeks for senior roles given more selective interview processes.
• India and Vietnam — 3-5 weeks for engineering, slightly longer for niche specialties.

Lundi handles entity setup and EOR/PEO compliance in parallel, so legal setup is never the bottleneck.

The Bay Area sits in one of the world's most useful time zones for global team building. SF working hours overlap meaningfully with:

• LATAM through most of the day — full-day overlap with Mexico, Colombia, and Brazil.
• EU in the early morning — 1-3 hours of daily overlap with Poland and Spain teams.
• Asia in the late evening — handoff windows with the Philippines, India, and Vietnam for 24/7 operations.

This is why SF tech companies that hire well internationally tend to think in terms of "follow the sun" coverage: nearshore for synchronous engineering, offshore for asynchronous support and ops. Lundi helps Bay Area teams design this architecture from the start.
