The Vision
Build the definitive marketplace for AI-native engineers. As AI transforms software development, a new category of engineer has emerged: developers who think in prompts, architect with agents, and ship with AI-first workflows. This marketplace concept was designed to connect these engineers with companies who understand their value.Design Philosophy
The visual language needed to communicate three things:- Technical Credibility: This is a platform for serious engineers, not a generic job board
- AI-Native Identity: The aesthetic should feel futuristic without being gimmicky
- Developer Trust: Dark mode, clean typography, and respect for developer sensibilities
Technical Implementation
WebGL Aurora Effects
The hero section features a dynamic aurora effect built with custom WebGL shaders. The animation responds subtly to cursor movement, creating an immersive but non-distracting backdrop.Motion Architecture
We used Framer Motion for orchestrated animations:- Staggered card reveals on scroll
- Smooth page transitions
- Micro-interactions on hover states
- Performance-optimized for 60fps on all devices
