How we vet

Only the top 1% make the cut.

Every Brix engineer clears a three-stage screen — profile, a real coding test, and a live expert round. Just 1 in 4 makes it through, so the shortlist you meet is already the top of the market.

What we measure

More than just code.

Strong engineers are made of more than algorithms. We screen across six signals — every one has to clear the bar.

Technical depth
Years of real production experience across the stacks your team actually runs.
Real-world coding
A timed, stack-specific assessment — not toy puzzles. Scored against a hard bar.
System design
Live trade-off discussion on architecture, scale, and the calls that matter.
Communication
Fluent written and verbal English, tested in a real conversation with a senior engineer.
Ownership
Evidence of driving work end to end, adapting fast, and being reliable under ambiguity.
Trust & history
Background, legal work status, and a track record we can stand behind.

The bar holds because they came to us.

Brix grew from a community of engineers who trust us and stay. We screen people who already chose to be here — not a cold pipeline of applicants.
