How it works

Four steps from applying to getting paid.

  1. 01

    Apply

    Sign in, upload your resume and list your stack and hours. It takes about five minutes and you can save partway.

  2. 02

    Review and interview

    A dispatcher reads your application. If it looks like a fit, we set up a conversation or a small trial task.

  3. 03

    Receive invitations

    When an order matches, you get an invitation: the work, the pay, the timeline. You have 24 hours to accept or decline.

  4. 04

    Deliver and get paid

    Orders run in milestones. Each one is paid within 15 days of acceptance.

How pay works

You know what an order pays before you take it.

The pay for each order is set when the order is created and written into the invitation. The number you see is the number you receive.

  • The amount is fixed up front

    Your amount is written into the order when it is created, and it does not change.

  • The client pays a deposit first

    An order is offered only after the client has paid a 30–50% deposit.

  • Paid per milestone

    Each milestone is paid within 15 days of acceptance.

  • itbanque carries the risk

    Once a milestone is accepted you are paid, even if the client pays late or not at all.

Who can join

Who we are looking for.

Degrees and titles do not matter here. What you have built does, and how many hours you can reliably give.

  • You can legally take contract work

    You can legally work as an independent contractor in the US or Canada. For now the network is open in these two countries only.

  • No conflict with your employer

    Taking orders does not breach the moonlighting or IP terms of your current employment.

  • Hours you can count on

    You decide how many hours a week you offer. We ask that the number is real.

  • Work you can show

    A resume, a GitHub profile, a shipped product, or a project you can explain in detail all count.

FAQ

What people ask before applying.

I have a full-time job. Can I join?

Yes, as long as taking orders does not breach your agreement with your employer on outside work and IP. You confirm this when you apply.

Can I join on H-1B or F-1?

Usually not. These statuses generally do not allow work as an independent contractor. If your situation is unusual, choose “Other” when you apply and a person will review it.

Do I have to take the orders I am offered?

No. You can accept or decline every invitation. With no answer in 24 hours it moves to the next person.

What if the client does not pay?

itbanque backstops accepted milestones. A late client does not delay your pay.

What happens after I apply?

A dispatcher reads your application. If it looks like a fit, we set up a conversation or a small trial task. Once approved you get an email and a Discord invite. You can check progress in the member area at any time.

How do we stay in touch?

Discord is the home of the network. Announcements, questions and order communication all happen there.

Are members employees of itbanque?

No. Members are independent contractors: you can decline work, set your own hours, use your own equipment, and you handle your own taxes.

Apply when you are ready.

The form takes about five minutes. You can save partway and come back.
