What is Moonlight?

Moonlight is a platform that helps companies find skilled software developers and designers for projects, contracts, or full-time roles. At the same time, it provides developers with access to meaningful work opportunities around the world.

Our goal is to make it easy for both sides to collaborate remotely with tools to handle matching, communication, and payments in one place.

For Companies

  • Hire with confidence: Post jobs, review developer profiles, and connect with vetted professionals.

  • Flexible options: Choose between short-term contracts, part-time help, or full-time hires.

  • Streamlined process: Moonlight manages invoicing and payments, so you can focus on getting work done.

For Developers

  • Showcase your skills: Create a profile, highlight your projects, and broadcast availability to potential clients.

  • Work globally: Access opportunities with startups, agencies, and established companies.

  • Get paid reliably: Invoices are processed through Moonlight, ensuring timely payments.

How It Works

  1. Sign up: Companies and developers can create accounts for free.

  2. Post or apply: Companies post jobs; developers apply to work.

  3. Match and collaborate: Moonlight connects companies with top developers for each role.

  4. Work and invoice: Projects are managed directly between companies and developers, with payments handled through Moonlight.
