Hire Motivated Engineers

We do a 10 hour free trial. You can work with our engineers for 10 hours for free.

To apply as an Engineer

Our engineers are financially incentivized to engage in continuous and lifelong learning.

Step 1: You will determine whether you need to go through the LD Talent paid training pipeline or whether you can skip it and join as an engineer directly. (more info)

Step 2: You will start accepting contract and/or full-time job opportunities in the LD Talent slack. (more info)

Step 3: While you are not assigned to a contract or hired for a full-time opportunity, you can choose to learn online and do paid passion projects to grow your skills. You will get paid $40 per skill you learn and project you do. Doing these passion projects will also help you get more and better matches. (more info)

Our goal is to solve the Computer Science skill gap. Industry wants the best and brightest talent but stigmatizes the need for engineers to constantly learn and grow. We have a culture where learning is embraced, and our training and vetting funnels bespeak these values.

LD Talent actively maintains https://github.com/gobid/knowledge-map-cheatsheets, a project with the goal to assemble all established knowledge into an efficient set of cheat sheets for interdisciplinary innovation.
