Why us

Why you'll like it here

Fully remote

Work from anywhere. There is no office to show up to.

Your own hours

Mornings, midnights, weekends. We care about the finished product, not the clock.

You set pay & team

You propose what you'll earn and who you build with. We agree it up front, so there is no haggling and no surprises.

Your ideas count

We are always open to suggestions. Build the product the way you think is right; you get real freedom to do it well.

In it for the long run

We want a lasting relationship, not one-off gigs. Do good work and the projects keep coming.

How it works

One pool, many projects

Each project is scoped, agreed, and paid on its own terms, and you only ever take the ones you want.

We post a project

A short description, the open slots per badge (for example 1 AI & Data + 1 Product), the stack, a target deadline, and budget guidance.

You raise your hand

If you are free and a good fit for an open slot, you put yourself forward.

We confirm the team

If a slot has more than one taker, we choose by fit, level, availability, and track record.

You send one proposal

Who and how many, timeline and milestones, total cost broken down clearly (including your pay), the approach, and the risks. We agree it before kickoff, so there are no hidden costs after.

You build and own delivery

Every project ships with a staging environment, tests, and short docs in English. Done means we can run, trust, and maintain it without you in the room.

You get paid

Per the proposal we agreed. Clean and predictable.

Badges

Pick what you actually do

Every product has three parts. Each badge owns one. Carry one, two, or all three, but only claim what you have genuinely shipped before.

Stacks are examples, not gates. Equivalents count, just mention them in your application.

BADGE 01

AI & Data

Owns the data and the intelligence on it.

  • Python in production, beyond scripts and notebooks
  • Data collection that runs unattended: scrapers, API integrations, ETL on a schedule, with retries and change detection
  • SQL databases: schema design, indexing, query performance at real volumes
  • LLM engineering: prompt design, structured outputs, tool/function calling, streaming
  • RAG: chunking, embeddings, vector search, answers grounded with sources
  • Evaluation and cost control: measuring output accuracy, keeping token spend predictable
Typical stack
PythonPostgreSQLpgvector / QdrantOpenAI / AnthropicOllama / vLLMPlaywright / BS4cron / Airflow
BADGE 02

Product

Owns the app people open and use.

  • Apps shipped end to end: empty repo to deployed product with users
  • Backend: REST API design, validation, error handling, background jobs
  • Data layer: modeling, migrations, transactions, query optimization
  • Auth: OAuth2 / SSO, session management, role-based access control
  • Frontend: component architecture, state management, responsive and accessible UI
  • Mobile when a project needs it: cross-platform app or installable PWA with offline and push
Typical stack
FastAPI / Django / NodePostgreSQLReact + TypeScriptNext.jsFlutter / RNTailwind
BADGE 03

Platform

Owns servers, deploys, security, and backups.

  • Linux administration in production: systemd, users/permissions, SSH hardening, firewall
  • Containerization: Dockerfiles, docker-compose, multi-service setups
  • Reverse proxy and TLS: nginx or Caddy, certificates, zero-downtime config changes
  • CI/CD: pipelines that lint, test, build, and deploy on merge
  • Backups with tested restores: automated dumps, offsite copies, proven recovery
  • Observability and secrets: uptime checks, error tracking, log access, secrets outside the repo
Typical stack
LinuxDockernginx / CaddyGitHub ActionsHetzner / VPSGrafana / Sentry
Solo Builder

Can you launch a whole product alone? Say so when you apply and you can claim a project across all three parts.

Requirements

Expected of everyone

  • Communicate. Clear updates, honest estimates, no silence when something slips.
  • Own your deadline. No one tracks your hours, so you manage your own time. The date you proposed is the date you hit.
  • AI coding tools. Use them, we expect the speed, but never feed company or personal data into unapproved services.
  • Finish the job. Done means we can run and maintain it without you in the room.

Pick your level honestly. It sets your pay and what you can lead.

JuniorExecutes well-defined tasks inside a team; learns fast.
MidOwns features and modules alone.
SeniorOwns whole projects; designs, reviews, mentors.
LeadScopes a multi-person project, runs the team, writes the proposal.

Extra capability tags

Name all extra skills you have in the form. They will help you win more projects.

Pay & terms

Plain, and the same for everyone

Pay is per project

Based on your badge, your level, and the time you propose. You quote it; we agree it in writing before kickoff. No hidden costs after, and no unpaid work before the agreement.

NDA both ways

You sign an NDA before you start. It protects the confidentiality of both sides, since our projects touch company data, owner records, contracts, and financials.

Ownership on payment

Once you're paid, the product is ARCI's: code, repositories, domains, and data. We send one agreement covering payment, the NDA, and ownership, so you sign once.

FAQ

Quick answers

Can I take a whole project alone?+

Yes. If you carry all three badges, claim a project solo and propose it end to end.

Can I work on several projects at once?+

Yes, as long as your proposed timelines stay realistic. Tell us your current load.

How is my pay decided?+

You quote per project based on your badge, level, and time. We agree it in writing before kickoff. No hidden costs after.

Who owns what I build?+

ARCI, once you're paid: code, repositories, domains, and data. The agreement you sign covers it.

Is there an NDA?+

Yes, signed before you start. It protects both sides, since our projects touch company data, owner records, contracts, and financials.

Can I use AI coding tools?+

We expect it. One rule: company, personal, financial, and contract data must not go to ungoverned services. Use approved providers or local models.

What happens after I apply?+

If your profile fits, we add you to the pool and start sending you projects. You only ever take the ones you want.
