As a remote engineer – freelance, contract, moonlighting – you can often juggle multiple projects and clients. It can be challenging to manage administrative tasks, ensure timely payments, and maintain effective communication when really all you want to do is dig into the code base. That’s where Gun.io comes in with our Find. Hire. Work. mindset.
We make finding the right fit simple.
- Your Gun.io Profile: Your number one tool for getting hired, giving potential clients an in-depth review of your technical expertise. A good Gun.io profile will get views…a great Gun.io profile will land interviews.
- Flexible Engagement Models: Whether you’re looking for a long-term partnership or a short-term project, we offer flexible engagement models to meet your needs.
- Vetted Roles: All jobs on the Gun.io platform are reviewed by our staff before being posted. We want to ensure applicants have all the information needed to understand requirements and job expectations before applying.
- Discover Talent Feature: Clients can filter the Gun.io database and find their perfect fit using Discover Talent. This could give you the chance to interview without needing to apply (so make sure that first impression looks good!).
- Easy to set up Interviews: No more back-and-forth to get something on the calendar. We allow clients to schedule an interview as soon as there is interest in your Gun.io profile.
- Professional Development Opportunities: We support your professional growth by providing access to training resources and skill-building opportunities. Level up your interests!
Hands-on Post-Hire Support
We stay connected throughout an entire contracted project to help ensure alignment among all parties. Our contract model is set up so we handle all the operational tasks—what I like to call “The Fun Stuff!” This means you can focus on the two things that make a developer successful working remotely/asynchronously: communication and building cool things.
- Administrative Ease: Since you’ll be working through us, we will draft and handle all contracts. There will be a consultant agreement for you to sign, but that’s about it!
- Streamlined Record Keeping: We set up a time-tracking system for you to log your hours each week. When a workweek ends, we send your notes as a work log for clients to review.
- Get Paid Fairly & On Time: We don’t take anything out of a contracted engineer’s payment. Your rate + a Gun.io fee = what a client sees as an overall number to work with you and our team. (Yes, we can pay to the LLC you have set up for your independent consultant business)
- Consistent Support: Our dedicated team provides ongoing support throughout your engagement, ensuring that you have everything you need to succeed. We regularly check in with both the company and engineering sides to ensure that the scope of work is going well – yes, with real humans!
- Effective Communication: We facilitate seamless communication between you and your clients by creating channels specifically for you, ensuring everyone is on the same page. We’re always a Slack message away!
We’re a platform for engineers by engineers, and we want you to succeed! Our goal is to empower remote engineers to excel in their roles and deliver results by providing the necessary tools and resources for productivity. Let us handle “The Fun Stuff” so you can handle the real fun stuff.
