Great builders are everywhere.
We help you find them.
Keyboard Goblins connects US tech companies with vetted developers, designers, and operators from around the world — diligent, sharp people who care about the work and stick around.
Software engineers · DevOps & infra · Product designers · Data & ML · QA & automation · Product managers
Senior engineers, designers & infra folks ready to start in 2–3 weeks.
The boring stuff, done right.
We're not trying to be clever. We're trying to send you people you'll be glad you hired, and to be honest with you the whole way through.
Vetted like we'll vouch for them
Technical screen, real work sample, honest references. Most applicants never reach you.
Timezone you can work in
We match for overlap that lets your team actually collaborate, not just hand off.
Talent from 21 countries
We look past the five expensive cities most US companies hire from.
On the hook for the fit
Two-week risk-free trial, month-to-month after. We earn the renewal.
Three ways to get the right people.
Staff augmentation
Add one or two experienced people to a team you already have. They work your hours, in your tools, on your standups — just like a full-time hire, without the headcount paperwork.
Best when: You have a team and a backlog, and you need more hands now.
Dedicated teams
A small, self-contained crew — say two engineers, a designer, and someone to keep them pointed in the right direction. They own a product area end to end and report into you.
Best when: You have a whole initiative to staff, not just a seat to fill.
Direct hire & recruiting
Sometimes you want the person on your payroll, not ours. We find them, vet them properly, and hand off a candidate you'd have struggled to source on your own.
Best when: You want a permanent hire and full ownership of the relationship.
A short, honest process.

A few of the teams we've helped, and what actually changed for them.
What it's like to work with us.
“Honestly the part that surprised me was how little I had to manage it. I expected to be the bottleneck. Instead I'd check in and things were just… done, and done the way I'd have wanted.
“We'd been burned before by the cheap-and-fast pitch. This wasn't that. The rate was fair and the work was the kind you don't have to redo. That math works out way better over a year.
“The matching is the whole thing, and they take it seriously. They turned down a project for us once because they didn't have the right person and didn't want to fake it. That's when I started trusting them.
“Our designer is in Buenos Aires and it has never once felt remote. She's in every critical conversation. The timezone overlap they matched for is the unglamorous reason it works.
Tell us what you're building.
One short call. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help — and if we can, you'll meet a hand-picked person or two within a couple of weeks.
