For engineers

Serious roles. Serious clients. Paid trial work.

We vet carefully and we match carefully. We only contact you about roles that actually fit, and we pay you for your time during evaluation.

What we are, for you

We are not Toptal. We are not a recruiter pinging every candidate on LinkedIn. We are a solid team that reads every application, runs a real vetting process, and only sends you work that matches what you’ve actually done.

When a client is evaluating you, we pay you for that time. When a role doesn’t match, you hear that directly instead of disappearing into a pipeline. There are no opaque markups. Rates are transparent.

How we vet

Three to Five days. Four stages. Honest all the way through.

  1. day 1–2

    Portfolio review.

    We look at what you’ve shipped: code, products, architecture choices. Depth over decoration. We tell you quickly if it’s not a match.

  2. day 3–5

    Technical interview.

    One hour with a senior engineer on your core specialties. Real questions about real systems, not whiteboard riddles.

  3. day 5–7

    Collaboration and communication.

    How you explain technical decisions, how you handle disagreement, how you work with people who aren’t engineers.

  4. day 7–10

    References.

    Two references who’ve worked with you recently. We actually call them.
