Commit is a VC-backed remote-first community and accelerator program for Canadian senior software engineers looking to join some of Silicon Valley’s most innovative startups as one of the first engineers.

We work exclusively with startups who are financially stable, have great salaries, use an exciting tech stack, champion diversity and inclusion and care about supporting your growth. We provide all the info you need so you can make the right decision and continue to cultivate your craft.

So how does this work?

1. Apply to our Engineering Partner program

2. Go through a brief 3-step interview process with Commit. Learn more here.

3. If you’re accepted into the program, you will be paid a full salary while we work together to match you to a startup.

4. Once matched, you work with a startup for 3 months. If you’re happy, you can stay with them; if not, we’ll work together to find a better match.

Throughout this process, you gain access to our large network of software developers. 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.
