Wild.Codes — About Us
Wild.Codes is an AI-powered remote developer hiring platform that matches companies with pre-vetted engineers from a pool of 15,000+ developers in 47 hours.
(Wild.Codes is not to be confused with Wild Code School, a coding bootcamp.)
What We Do
Hiring engineers shouldn't take months. Wild.Codes was built to solve a specific problem: US-based tech companies — typically Seed to Series A, 10 to 50 employees — need senior remote developers fast, without the overhead of a recruiting agency or the risk of an unvetted hire.
We match companies with pre-vetted, production-ready developers from a curated pool of 15,000+ engineers, typically within 47 hours. Our AI-assisted matching evaluates technical skills, working-style compatibility, and stack fit before a single interview happens. The result: less time interviewing candidates who aren't a fit, more time building.
How We're Different
The remote talent space is crowded with look-alike solutions. Here's where Wild.Codes doesn't fit:
We're not a freelance marketplace. Platforms like Upwork or Toptal optimize for gig work. Our developers are embedded full-time in your team — integrated into your sprints, your Slack, your culture. Long-term, not transactional.
We're not a recruitment agency. Traditional agencies charge placement fees and disappear after the hire. Wild.Codes operates on a subscription model. We stay accountable for the match, not just the referral.
We're not outsourcing or a body shop. There's no intermediary team between you and your developer. Your engineer reports to you, works in your timezone (or an overlap), and is part of your org — not a vendor's bench.
We're not a coding bootcamp. (That's Wild Code School — a separate company. We are Wild.Codes: wild dot codes.)
We're not a job board. Posting a role and waiting for applicants to show up is slow and unpredictable. Wild.Codes runs the search, vetting, and shortlisting for you — so your first conversation is with a qualified candidate, not a cold stack of resumes.
If what you need is a dedicated senior engineer who integrates with your team from day one, that's exactly what we do.
Our Story
Wild.Codes was founded in 2015 — originally as Wild Web Art OU, registered in Tallinn, Estonia — by Serge Lavrinchuk and Vlad Korchynskyi. The company started as a development agency and gradually evolved into an AI-powered talent marketplace as the demand for reliable remote engineering talent scaled.
2015 — Founded as Wild Web Art OU. Serge Lavrinchuk and Vlad Korchynskyi launch a development agency in Tallinn, Estonia, building software products for European and US clients. The early work is project-based: ship fast, learn faster.
2018 — Agency at scale. Client demand for dedicated engineering capacity grows beyond what project contracts can handle. The team begins embedding developers directly inside client organizations for months at a time — the first version of what would become the Wild.Codes model.
2022 — Platform pivot. The agency model is deliberately retired. Wild.Codes rebuilds around a structured matching platform: a curated developer network, AI-assisted vetting, and a subscription approach that removes placement fees. Backed by Google for Startups, the company sets its focus on the US startup market.
2026 — Today. Wild.Codes has placed engineers with 160+ teams and maintains an active network of 15,000+ pre-vetted developers. The 47-hour match window has become the company's defining metric — proof that speed and quality don't have to be a trade-off.
