About this role

Headquarters: NYC and TLV

Imagine choosing your projects, collaborating with the best, and keeping every dollar you earn.


At A·Team, we’ve turned this vision into reality for top-tier independent software builders. Since May 2020, A·Teamers have earned over $108 million working on high-impact projects for companies backed by a16z, YC, Insight Partners, Tiger Global, Softbank, General Catalyst, and more.


Why A·Team?

  • High-paying, meaningful missions: Earn $90-$170/hr with over 500 companies—from trailblazing startups like Sightful, D-ID, and Apprentice to enterprise innovators like Lyft, Google X, and HCA.
  • Collaborate with trusted peers: Work in small, elite teams for high-impact projects, ensuring top-tier collaboration.
  • Full autonomy: Choose projects that excite you. Join when you're ready, and take breaks as needed.
  • Exclusive gatherings: Participate in off-the-record events and connect with top builders.
  • Transparent earnings: Keep 100% of your rate.

How to Join:

Visit A·Team Application and mention WWR under "how you heard about A·Team." No cover letter needed – we value your portfolio.


What to Expect:

As an A·Teamer, you’ll be invited to projects matching your interests. Work with startups, well-funded companies, or non-tech giants, building ambitious software from scratch in 3-4 person teams. Scope, strategize, and execute, often guiding clients who need direction.


Who We're Looking For:
  • Senior developers who left large companies to pursue their craft with autonomy.
  • Those preferring consistent contract work over full-time roles, eager to create innovative products with other top-tier builders.
  • Independent workers, full-time employees exploring client work, bootstrapping side projects, or searching for their next big thing.

Not for:
  • People seeking small gigs.
  • Builders focused on simple WordPress/Wix/Squarespace sites.
  • Early-career professionals and recent grads.

Our Vision:

A·Team is for the "unhirables" – exceptional builders whom traditional companies can’t hire full-time. We empower you to do meaningful work with your favorite people in small, autonomous, expert teams.

A.Team is forging a new vision for the future of work that’s backed by $60M in funding from investors like Insight Partners, Tiger Global, and Spruce House, future-of-work pioneers like Adam Grant, Dan Ariely and Joseph Fuller, cultural leaders like Jay-Z’s RocNation, and founders and execs from CAA, Apollo, Upwork, Fiverr, and SpaceX.
Ready to join a team where your talent is valued, and your work is meaningful? Apply now and start your next great mission with A·Team.

Why we flagged this for parents & caregivers

FlexCareers scored this listing 58/100 on parent-friendliness based on the language the employer used in their own posting. We picked up signals on: parent. Read the application page closely and ask about parental leave, expected meeting hours, and core overlap windows during your first conversation. Employers who answer those questions clearly are usually the ones who'll respect the boundaries later.

Questions worth asking before you apply

  • What are the required core hours of overlap, and which timezone are they in?
  • How is on-call or after-hours coverage handled?
  • What does parental leave actually look like — duration, pay, ramp back?
  • What's the expected response time on Slack / chat outside of meetings?
  • How does the team handle a sick kid day or a school pickup window?
