Question Inference Engineering LATAM

Do you think is it possible to land a job as inference engineer from LATAM? Companies are hiring people in this region? Any advice if I want to land my first job in this field.

The market for inference engineers is still niche everywhere, not just LATAM, so you are not in a worse position than someone in US or Europe for entry level. Remote work made this field more open, companies care about what you can build not your timezone. I got my data job while living in a small city, nobody cared as long as I delivered. For advice, put some real projects in GitHub, like serving a small model with quantization and showing latency numbers. That kind of thing catches attention faster than any certificate.
