Why partner

What hiring partners get

  • Engineers who have shipped

    Four sprints and a capstone in production

    Every graduate has scoped, built and deployed AI systems for client-style problems, and can explain the decisions behind each one.

  • A selective cohort

    30 engineers per cohort

    Each one chosen through a technical assessment and an interview, from recent engineering graduates and experienced IT professionals.

  • Pay only for hires who stay

    Pre-paid hiring credits

    Pre-pay for hiring credits. A credit is used only when you hire one of our graduates and they stay with you. Credits are priced for a $125,000 offer; for a larger package, you settle the difference when you hire.
