Senior Dev Fellowship

Skip the tech interview at some of Silicon Valley's most impactful startups. Commit's Engineering Partner program lets you test startups for three months at a time until you find the perfect one. Some of our grads have grown into CTOs and joined companies as engineer #1 - unlock your potential.

Commit is building the remote-first community for software developers. We’re VC-backed, fully remote, and looking for Entrepreneurial Startup Engineers to join Commit.

If you’re selected, we’ll pay you during our 3-month program to explore roles at startups you’re passionate about as a Commit Engineering Partner.

Join the most ambitious startups, without going through their normal technical interviews. We take care of all the friction, so you can focus on finding the right fit. We hire you directly into Commit, pay you to find the right startup from a pool of vetted opportunities, let you skip those startups' normal interviewing processes, and then you get to test out startups for three months at a time until you find the perfect fit.

Members of our program have access to all of our Engineering Partners from past cohorts. Curious about what it's like to join a startup as the first engineer? Looking for the best course on Rust? Running into an issue with Terraform that you can't solve? Someone in the community has been in your shoes and can help. We’re run by engineers for engineers.

If you have 4+ years of experience in software engineering, and ambitions of excellence in your craft, apply on our website and use promo code #JSRemotely to skip the waitlist!
