I built Hola for myself.
I'm a Canadian engineer who's lived in Puerto Escondido, Oaxaca for nearly a decade. Hola is the tool I wanted when I was trying to figure out where the good remote jobs are.
Which US companies actually hire remote from Mexico? Which pay rates that reflect the person, not the country? Which treat the timezone overlap as the advantage it is? The answers existed — scattered across Slack threads, LinkedIn posts, and half-remembered conversations. Nowhere in one place. Nowhere vetted.
So I started keeping a list. The list got researched. Then structured. Then other engineers asked me for it. I realized I was building something others needed too.
Mexicans getting hired at good US companies. That's the whole thing.
Engineers in Mexico, US companies looking to hire them — Hola makes it easier for both sides to find each other.
Every decision runs through that filter. A feature has to move engineers' careers forward. When it helps companies hire well too — which it usually does — even better.
The research is the product. The companies on the feed aren't a CRM scrape — they're the ones I'd apply to myself.
hola, career
For the engineer looking, and the company hiring — I built this for both of you.
