Recruiting to fill a role
This is the simple one. You have a role to fill, and we place a vetted, AI-fluent engineer onto your team. We handle the vetting so you only meet people who can do the work.
It is a normal hire, which means it follows the standard legal procedures for where you and the engineer are based. We keep that part clean and clear, with a contract on both sides before anyone is introduced. You get the talent, we keep the process straightforward.
Partner with a software engineer
Here you are not filling a seat. You are working directly with an engineer, in whatever shape fits the work. That can be a simple contract, ongoing consulting, or a deeper arrangement where the engineer shares in what the business produces.
There is more than one way to structure it. You can pick whichever fits, and combine them where it makes sense. Only some of these tie the engineer to a business outcome, and we will tell you which.
Contract work
The engineer charges for the work, either per hour or per deliverable. The most flexible option, and a good way to start before committing to anything bigger.
Royalty / revenue share
The engineer takes a share of the revenue the work generates. Their reward grows as the thing you build together grows, so incentives stay aligned.
Equity share
The engineer takes equity in the business. The deepest form of partnership, for when you want someone fully in on the long-term outcome.
Consulting
Work alongside seasoned people who guide the technical direction and help you structure the partnership so it works for both sides and stays 100% legal.
What sits behind Connect
Whichever path you take, the same engine supports it. Connect is more than a list of names.
AI-assisted vetting
Every engineer is screened with a mix of AI and human review. By the time you meet someone, you already know they can build and that they work well with AI.
An active community
Engineers and businesses on Connect are part of a living community. That is how introductions stay warm, how partnerships get pressure tested, and how people keep getting better at this.
