Senior Independent Software Developer – A·Team
A·Team is a venture capital-backed, exclusive online platform for top senior independent software developers to collaborate with hand-picked, high-growth companies on innovative projects. We have recognized the challenges faced by independent engineers, designers, and product professionals in finding reputable and fulfilling clients, and we have made it our mission to connect them with vetted, high-quality clients through A·Team. Our partnerships are with renowned companies backed by top investors such as a16z, YC, Softbank, General Catalyst, etc. Since our soft launch in May 2020, A·Team has facilitated over $85 million in earnings for our members.
As a member of A·Team, you can expect:
– High-paying, impactful projects with prestigious companies, typically ranging from $90 to $150+ per hour. Our clients are carefully chosen through trusted referrals, and we have worked with notable companies such as Lyft, McGraw Hill, ClearCo, Pepsi, Walmart, and many more.
– Join a community of like-minded professionals: At A·Team, we focus on small and diverse product teams, as we have found that clients with more significant budgets and ambitious projects prefer to work with teams rather than individuals. We strive to keep friends and colleagues together whenever possible.
– Full autonomy: As a highly skilled and experienced builder, you have the freedom to turn down projects that do not align with your interests or availability. We understand that our members often have multiple commitments, and we do not pressure them to take on missions if they do not have the capacity. If you decide that A·Team is no longer the right fit for you, you can easily leave or take a break.
– Exclusive, off-the-record gatherings: We value the power of open and honest conversations, and we organize small, curated events for our members to connect and discuss topics that may be difficult to address elsewhere. Our long-term goal is to create micro-communities for the world’s top builders to form lasting friendships based on shared interests.
– Keep 100% of your earnings: Unlike other platforms, we do not take a percentage of your hourly rate. You will receive the full amount that you charge, and our revenue comes from a small, transparent platform fee on top of your rate.
How to apply:
To join A·Team, visit https://build.a.team/remotivereferral and mention Remotive in your application. We value your time, so the application process is brief. We are more interested in seeing your work and discussing potential opportunities if there is a suitable match.
As a member of A·Team, you will:
– Receive regular invitations to impactful missions that align with your skills and interests. Our clients range from early-stage startups founded by world-class entrepreneurs to well-established companies looking to innovate like a tech giant.
– Work on challenging projects with a small team of 3-4 talented builders. These missions typically involve building complex software solutions from scratch, and you will be responsible for scoping out the project, providing options to the client, guiding strategy, and executing the chosen solution. Our clients may have a clear vision of what they want, or they may need your expertise to determine the best direction to take.
Who A·Team is for:
– Senior software developers who have left large companies or high-growth startups to pursue their craft independently.
– Those who prefer contract work over a full-time role and enjoy working on a variety of projects with other top-tier builders.
– A majority of A·Team members primarily work independently, but a significant percentage are either employed full-time (while exploring client work), working on a side project, or seeking their next exciting opportunity.
Who A·Team is not for:
– Individuals seeking small, short-term projects.
– Those with limited experience (<4 years) or recent graduates from university or bootcamp (at least not yet). Our long-term vision: A·Team is a modern company for independent software builders who we call "unhirables." These are individuals whom traditional companies may not be able to hire full-time, but who are highly skilled and want to work on meaningful projects with their preferred colleagues in small, self-sufficient, remote teams. To secure the best missions for our members, we have raised over $60 million from top investors such as Insight Partners, Tiger Global, NFX, RocNation, and notable professionals, including the former CEO of Upwork, the founders of Fiverr and Lemonade, Apple's Global Head of Recruiting, YC Partner Aaron Harris, Wharton's Adam Grant, and Duke's Dan Ariely.
