EngineerDAO is a product-focused group of individuals obsessed with manifesting the "Internet of Jobs". Our product is an anonymous, permissionless marketplace for software engineers to match with paid projects, tasks, and jobs.
Our vision is two-fold; optimistically solving for both supply and demand. Engineers should imagine the EngineerDAO Platform as an API that returns cryptocurrency for correct inputs (code) over a given period of time. We envision a diverse marketplace, with jobs of all shapes and sizes. Our goal is to maximally reduce friction in your quest to trade time for money - be it a 30 minute lunch break, 2 hours after work, or a full-time endeavor.
Suppliers (those with work to be done) will realize a new paradigm on the EngineerDAO Platform. Our mission is to reduce risk and align incentives. When an engineer accepts your project, they put “skin in the game” via a buy-in. Together, the supplier’s bounty and the engineer’s buy-in are locked in a smart contract. If the engineer fails to deliver, the buy-in is forfeited to the supplier. Although not the ideal scenario, the supplier is at least compensated for their time. This is how we align incentives and level the playing field.
