Wondering if anyone has any advice or experience with hiring remote/international developers as full-time team members.

Ideally we're looking for 1-2 fullstack devs to support our head of engineering who will lead them from here. We're based in SF so time zone is a consideration and we heard Brazil is a good option. We've used sites like Toptal for short-term work, but now we're looking for more long-term team members to join us and we're exploring options for setting teams up in South America.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated, thank you!
