Become a code reviewer
We work with experienced developers who are comfortable reviewing mixed-quality, often AI-assisted codebases and communicating findings clearly to product teams.
There is no self-serve “sign up as reviewer” in the app—use the options at the bottom of this page if you would like to start a conversation.
Growing the network carefully
Up to now, we have only partnered with developers we already knew and trusted—people from our own circles, not an open firehose of signups. Between us, Aaron Reimann and David Ott, we have spent decades around strong engineers and we are starting from relationships we can personally stand behind.
A lot is riding on getting this right. Clients are counting on honest, rigorous reviews, and we take that obligation seriously. So we are deliberate about who we add, even when that means moving slowly.
If you reach out and it looks like there could be a fit, you should expect real conversation—and probably one or more interviews where we ask a lot of questions. We are choosy not because we like turning people away, but because the whole model depends on reviewers being consistently excellent, professional, and trustworthy.
Who we’re looking for
Senior or mid-level engineers who have shipped and maintained real applications—not only greenfield tutorials. You should be at ease reading unfamiliar stacks, spotting security and reliability risks, and writing actionable review notes without being dismissive of AI-generated code.
We care about professionalism, responsiveness while a project is active, and respect for client confidentiality.
What reviewers do
When you’re assigned to a project, you work inside our reviewer portal: you see the client’s intake, repository context, and project phase. Typical flow includes reviewing the codebase during an active review phase, then delivering a structured report so the team knows what to fix before launch.
You’ll also accept our annual developer agreement and any project-specific confidentiality expectations before work begins—similar to how clients accept NDAs per project.
Compensation
Reviewers receive the majority of each project fee under our standard arrangement, with platform and operations covering the remainder. Exact terms are spelled out in the reviewer agreement you accept in the portal.
Expectations
You’ll treat client materials as confidential, use the portal for status and deliverables, and keep communication clear and timely. Independent contractor status and full legal terms are in the agreements you sign in the app—we’re not substituting this page for those documents.
How to apply
Send a short note about your experience and stack, or book a quick call—we will reply when we can, and we will be upfront if the timing or fit is not right.
