Talent & Teams·By Discipline·Software

Hire Software Engineers.

Frontend, backend, full-stack, senior across the board.

Senior software engineers embedded in your team through staff augmentation. The volume hire. We see more software engineering candidates than every other discipline combined, and accept fewer than 1%. The result is a network of engineers who’ve shipped product before, in real teams, on production systems that mattered.

How it works

The work, in practice.

Lateral software engineers build APIs, frontends, backends, mobile, the full stack. They’re fluent with AI tooling, comfortable in a monorepo, and have opinions about CI. Most have 7+ years and at least one production system they’re proud of in their last role.

FAQ

Before you ask.

How "senior" is senior on your network?
Most have years of production work behind them, with at least one system they were primary author of and can walk through end to end. We select for talent rather than tenure, so the answer is less about a number than about whether they are exceptional at the work.
Do they work in our time zone?
We match for it. The network spans the US, LATAM, Western and Eastern Europe; we don’t place engineers more than 4 hours off your business day.
Can they own a feature end-to-end?
That’s the bar. If they need hand-holding through API design, they don’t make the cut.
