Key Features

Global talent management
We handle the complexity of global sourcing, vetting, and delivery management. Gun.io provides the governance layer your team needs to transform engineering effort into impact.
Developer shortlists
Stop bad applications. We produce a high-precision shortlist of developers who aren't just "available," but are sought after, vetted, and matched to your stack and delivery goals.
Contract onboarding
Our platform handles the negotiations, contracts, and onboarding infrastructure. No complexity, no administrative debt—just engineering capacity, unlocked.
Managed outcomes
Top 1% talent" is a liability if it only results in expensive meetings. We not only work with elite talent, we ensure that the work gets done.
Engineering billing
We align expense with output, and provide an audible trail of every dollar spent towards engineering.
Vetted professionals
Access thousands of vetted software professionals with a wide range of skills and certifications worldwide.
Technical assessment
Each engagement begins with a structured assessment: technology review, constraint mapping, and delivery risk identification—before we even talk about people.
Work planning
We only move forward once we’ve mapped out exactly how the work gets done.
Delivery verification
We only deploy engineers evaluated against our standard with a verified history of delivery within our ecosystem. Every professional is selected for their ability to maintain our standard under complex, real-world constraints.
Delivery oversight
We stay in the project, tracking code quality and architectural drift against the original vision.
Flexible staffing
If your roadmap shifts, we adjust the mix of skills on the fly to maintain velocity.
Delivery accountability
If the delivery doesn't hit the standard, we take responsibility for fixing it—even if that means redeploying the team.
