Job description

About Equal Experts

Equal Experts is a UK-founded, employee-owned technology consultancy specializing in custom software delivery. Since entering North America in 2019, we've grown steadily by embedding senior engineers directly with client teams - not handing off a spec, but collaborating to drive real business outcomes. We are not a staffing agency; we are a community of experts.

We are growing our North American independent contractor network with experienced software engineers who bring deep technical skills and a genuine interest in how AI is changing the way software gets built.

One of our fastest-growing offerings is AI in the SDLC - helping enterprise clients integrate AI tooling directly into their software development workflow.

What we're looking for

10+ years of hands-on software engineering experience
Strong proficiency in one or more of: Java, Scala, Python, Kotlin, or TypeScript
Demonstrated experience with or strong interest in AI tooling in a software development context (GitHub Copilot, Claude, Cursor, or similar)
Consultative by nature - you can engage directly with clients, navigate ambiguity, and communicate trade-offs clearly
Product-oriented mindset: you think about business value, not just ticket execution
Ability to operate as a true partner to client engineering teams, not just a resource

By applying, you're taking the first step toward joining our network - a community of senior practitioners who share knowledge, collaborate on ideas, and stay connected between engagements. Those who pass our interview process are added to the network, and when a contract opportunity arises that matches your background, our team will reach out to align you to it. This is best suited to career independent contractors who already operate their own business entity who are looking for a community and long term relationship - not just immediate work.

Our North American Business Unit (NAM) considers candidates based in the United States, Canada, and Latin American countries. Many projects are in the Eastern time zone.
