Trying to code in an unfamiliar language by googling everything is like navigating a foreign country with just a phrase book. Using GitHub Copilot is like hiring an interpreter.

No CV, no timezone nor English requirement. Only code.
When a GitStart instance capacity increases, GitStart Bot automatically creates separate development environments, sends the same tasks to hundreds of engineers, and have them review each other. Highest ranked engineers earn the right to tackle new tickets.
Engineers are dynamically added and removed from an instance depending on their instance performance score. The highest performing engineers all get allocated full time to limit context switching.
All tickets are reviewed by 4 types of engineers. Owners review architecture and ensure integration. Developers code. Reviewers review. QA test edge cases. Role allocation for engineers averages 50% development, 30% ownership and reviews and 20% QA.
1. Hack on the codebases of the fastest growing companies worldwide.
2. Learn with coding tasks scoped by senior engineers.
3. Put your work in the hands of millions of users.
1. Bi-weekly 1:1 call with experienced mentors.
2. Professional training: English coaching, technical courses, etc.
3. Extreme emphasis on code reviews from day one.
1. Receive payouts in your local currency.
2. Meet amazing engineers from all around the world in regular online events.
3. Work flexibly in a culture that embraces asynchronous communication.
GitStart Bot is best used for tickets that are easy to scope and review. Examples:‍
GitStart Bot is not a fit when tickets are hard to scope and review, such as tickets that:
Engineering teams that have gone partially or fully remote typically don't need to change how they write specs. Good tickets:
GitStart Bot works with most modern technologies used by VC backed ventures. Acceleration is especially fast for JS frameworks and libraries (Node, React, Next, Vue, vanilla JS, Typescript, etc), but engineers have also used it to build things like a compiler in C++.
Send us a message if your technologies are not mentioned in this non exhaustive list.
Capacity automatically scales up and down with your needs. Automated coding competitions with hundreds of engineers mixed with automated code reviews and code pairing matching typically enable GitStart to double capacity every two to three weeks.
No interaction is required. At the same time, engineers powering the GitStart Bot are available if need be.
We are buddhism influenced engineers: we want to do things right. The code GitStart Bot generates belongs to you. GitStart voids 100% of its intellectual property to all code, forever and for all jurisdictions. Terms and conditions are intentionally written to strongly favour users to make legal back and forth unnecessary.
Your data is safe as GitStart developers can never access it. A hard requirement to install the GitStart Bot is to have a staging environment.
Your code is safe with GitSlice (see "No need to trust us with your code" section).
Your tickets are safe as the GitStart Bot only pulls in the tickets it is assigned to.
Yes. GitStart powers enterprise clients in industries like finance, insurance and blockchain.
‍
On top of GitSlice, GitStart can ensure
military grade security with features such as online IDE development, in partnership with GitPod, to ensure code never leaves your systems, and NDA signature + personal audit log for every engineer.
We don't, you do.
You only pay for PRs you merge. If a PR does not meet your quality standards, you are welcome to reject it or add review comments.
Billing stops at the first review cycle: all updates and bug fixes, as long as they are in scope, are free. On average, 85% of PRs are merged within the first review cycle, which is slightly higher that our users' internal teams' average.
Quality is ensured in two main ways: optimal talent allocation and Review driven development.
Optimal talent allocation: Engineers are dynamically added and removed from an instance depending on their instance performance score. The highest performing engineers all get allocated full time to limit context switching.
Review driven development: GitStart uses review driven development All tickets are reviewed by 4 types of engineers. Owners review architecture and ensure integration. Developers code. Reviewers review. QA test edge cases.
Role allocation for engineers averages 50% development, 30% ownership and reviews and 20% QA.
All updates and bug fixes, as long as they are in scope, are free.
Top up credits. Every PR comes with a credit estimate based on productive hours. Billing stops during the first review cycle - all bug fixes and updates are free, as long as they are in scope and reported within 1 week of PR submission. Your credit balance is only deducted when you merge a PR. Unused credits roll on forever and are fully refundable.
We couldn't offer enough transparency and fairness with off the shelf tools, so we built our own time tracking technology to differentiate productive hours (hours spent speccing, coding and code reviewing) from the rest (meetings, learning, breaks, etc). Our estimates only ever include productive time.
Also, productive hours are converted into mid-level engineer productive hours using each developer's performance coefficient.
Unused credits roll on forever and are fully refundable.
