Arc

Arc.dev is a premium remote job platform specifically for software developers. Spun out of Codementor, Arc focuses on connecting high-caliber developers with fast-growing tech companies like Spotify and HubSpot. Unlike general freelance sites, Arc rigorously vets its developers to ensure they are in the top tier of talent.

Developers must pass coding challenges and video interviews to join the network. Once verified, they get access to permanent remote roles and high-paying freelance contracts without having to bid. It is a legitimate career accelerator for senior engineers looking for US-based salaries while working from anywhere in the world.
