Laravel Development, Accelerated with AI
AI-Assisted Code Quality
AI reviews every pull request for Laravel best practices, N+1 query issues, mass assignment vulnerabilities, and architectural violations that slow down long-term development.
Automated Test Coverage
AI generates feature and unit tests for Laravel controllers, models, and services, covering request validation, authorization policies, and edge cases in business logic.
Database Query Optimization
AI profiles Eloquent queries, identifies slow joins and missing indexes, and suggests eager loading strategies that reduce database load under production traffic.
Faster Feature Delivery
AI-accelerated scaffolding of migrations, models, controllers, and form requests means new features go from spec to review faster.

VETTING PIPELINE
How engineers earn a spot on our team
Every engineer goes through the same four-stage funnel. Most do not make it past stage two.
30,000+
Applications received each year
Around 15 open roles at any time, each receiving roughly 200 applications per month through LinkedIn, AngelList, employee referrals, and outbound headhunting across India. India produces 1.5 million CS graduates a year, so sourcing is not the moat. Filtering is. Most applications are auto-filtered for stack relevance, years of experience, English, and time-zone overlap before any human reviews them.

Pass live coding + system design
Two-stage technical interview: a 90-minute live coding exercise tailored to the candidate's primary stack, then a system-design discussion grounded in real production scenarios.
2%
Pass project deep-dive + background verification
We ask candidates to walk through a recent production project: architecture decisions, what they would change in hindsight. We also run a background verification check through a third-party BGV agency to confirm prior employment, education, and identity.
