How we check

We review work you have shipped. A keyword on a resume is not enough. You need advanced or fluent English. You will be in standups, code reviews, and Slack with a US team.



You use AI tools to draft a template or a plugin function, then you review it on staging before it goes live. Every engineer is assessed on the four-level AI fluency scale before a client meets them. See the four levels .

How a placement runs

You join the client team and work in their repo, their standups, and their code reviews. You work US business hours from Mexico, Costa Rica, Colombia, Peru, Brazil, Chile, Argentina, or Uruguay. The placement is almost always a full-time contract. You are paid the same amount every month in US dollars. The monthly invoice is for bookkeeping. Candidates never pay to apply or to join.
