Why (match.dev)

Honest humans

We are builders and software developers with strong technical networks. We do our best to understand your requirements and hand-pick the best fit in our community. No AI, no BS

Thorough vetting

We only match with game developers we would work with ourselves. All developers go through 10-15 hours of paid vetting. This ensures that talent quality is better than on any other platform

Any commitment

We are flexible and can help to find the right setup for you. Our smallest projects start from 10 hours while we can also help in scaling your in-house team

Replacement warranty

If you are not happy with your matched developer, we guarantee a swift replacement, minimizing disruptions. Fortunately we never have to do this though.

Meet the founder

Kirill Gorokhov

CEO & Founder

“Finding a great engineer for your team isn't easy. Recruiters are expensive, UpWork is inconsistent.

That's where Match.dev comes in. We only match you with developers we would work with ourselves.

Whether you need someone to revamp your website, build that app you've been dreaming about, or tackle some backend magic, we've got you covered.”
