What to Consider Before Applying

• Not ideal as a full-time job or primary income source. Work availability fluctuates with project demand; as a 1099 contractor, you won't receive benefits such as health insurance, paid time off, or retirement contributions, and hours are not guaranteed.

• Requires reliable availability and commitment. Most tasks require a minimum of 2 hours per day or 10 hours per week.

• Geographic restrictions may apply. We cannot engage contractors in regions subject to international embargo or sanctions. As a 1099 contractor, you are solely responsible for your own tax obligations.

How to Join Our Expert Community

• Submit your application, including an updated copy of your CV in English.

• If a test is required, you will be asked to take a test in the domain(s) you specialize in.

• Once selected and you've passed the test, we'll guide you through onboarding — completing an application form, getting you set up for payments, and welcoming you into our community.
