Top tech firms scout for talent in Brazil
Facebook, Apple, Google and Twitter are all looking for fresh talent in Brazil in the southeast region of the country.
There are dozens of vacancies available, ranging from tech-specific roles and legal to marketing and communications roles. All roles require fluency in English, which could be a good opportunity for foreigners looking for work opportunities in Brazil.
Apple leads the pack with 23 jobs, mostly in retail, based in So Paulo and Jundia, a tech cluster based just outside So Paulo city. Facebook has 16 vacancies to be filled, all in So Paulo, in areas ranging from development to sales.

Four classic IT jobs that are moving to the back burner
Google, ranked the best technology employer in Brazil earlier this year, has 14 positions open in the communications, finance and legal departments, as well as internship opportunities for MBA graduates. The positions are for the So Paulo and Minas Gerais offices.
Twitter, another company placing its bets on the Brazilian market, is looking to fill roles in the areas of IT and communications. Nine positions are based in So Paulo and one in Rio de Janeiro. The company has focused on hiring core skills, with several staff joining the company since the launch of its first local office last year.
