Build better, together.

Mission is a platform built for careers, not just gigs. The future of marketplaces should nurture the talent that drives it.

Our Story

Mission was founded by engineers, Stephane Rossi and Fred Brunel, who saw the way workforces were heading: increasingly remote and independent. Along with Gabriel Sundaram, they set out to build a talent marketplace that would connect the world’s top senior engineers with global clients in need.

Our goal is to provide the supportive resources and community of colleagues that independent workers have been missing. Our ambition is to create a comprehensive digital community, marketplace, and continued-learning hub accessible to talent around the world. We’re already well on our way.

Our Vision

The productivity of in-house work with the flexibility of remote teams

One of the biggest drawbacks to hiring and managing remote teams is the lack of communication and transparency that you get when teams gather in-person. Worrying how things are going means constant babysitting and hitting refresh for urgently needed responses.

At Mission, we’ve built an invaluable resource to remedy this right into our platform. It offers tools for collaboration – allowing you to connect, share feedback, schedule meetings, and build optimally – no matter where everyone is in the world. Mission allows you to retain the sense of inspiration and innovation that comes from great minds working together, without missing out on the productive efficiency of working in-house.

Our Values

As we continue to develop our platform and grow our network, what keeps us centered are the core beliefs upon which Mission was founded.

Who is a Mission engineer

Senior and still growing

Our vetted network is full of highly experienced engineers (median ~10-20 years) that are empowered by our platform and community to continue learning and growing.

Expert collaborators and invested in community

Our engineers are independent, but they all value peer learning, mentorship, and participating actively in our community. That extra layer of connectivity leads to better performance and team chemistry.

Collectively expert in every stack and specialty

Because we curate our teams from our entire network, we can ensure we’re selecting a squad that’s got any tech requirements you have covered. We also collect data on team chemistry so the sum is always greater than the amazing parts of every team we provide.
