Tier 2 grads become Tier 1 instructors, who train more Tier 2 engineers, who raise the bar for Tier 3 recruits.
We stopped competing for talent. We started creating It.
A long-term system for building enterprise-level engineers from day one.
Start a conversationWhy we chose a different path
The best engineers aren’t looking for jobs. They’re employed, well-compensated, and not browsing LinkedIn. So we had a choice:
Compete in that market and hope we can poach somebody, or build something different. We chose different.

Same principle as medical residency
Doctors don’t become doctors in a classroom.
They become doctors in a hospital, working on real patients, supervised by experienced physicians.
Our engineers learn the same way — on real enterprise systems, under proven senior leads, with real stakes and real deadlines.
The University of São Paulo Partnership
We have an exclusive relationship with USP’s Engineering Department — one of the best engineering programs in Latin America.
Our CTO sits on the non-profit engineering board. The professors there identify students who have exceptional fundamentals and, just as importantly, the right intangibles: curiosity, communication, grit. We recruit them before they graduate.
The 60-hour commitment
Forty hours building. Twenty hours leveling up.
20 hours
By the time they’re done, they’ve already operated at an enterprise level that most engineers in the US market never reach.
Why this creates better engineers
The best engineers aren’t looking for jobs. Our residents get more meaningful reps in three years than most engineers get in ten.

Real complexity from day one. They learn financial services terminology by building financial services products. They develop product intuition by shipping products that matter.
The result is they hit senior level three to four times faster than traditional career paths.
And they’re employees — real employees. Healthcare, dental, PTO, career growth.
That’s why 93% stay.
You’re not getting someone who’s looking for the next gig. You’re getting someone who’s building a career.
The client benefit
Right of first refusal
You get right of first refusal to hire any resident directly. If you don’t convert them, they become our newly minted seniors, ready for the next engagement. Either way, you’re getting engineers pre-trained on your industry’s challenges.
Pre-trained on your industry
By the time our engineers work on your project, they’ve already succeeded on projects bigger than yours.
The talent flywheel
Quality compounds as we grow. The Residency doesn’t just train engineers — it creates a self-reinforcing pipeline that produces more seniors every cycle.
