Who we are

Built for engineering teams that want their hours back.

Placing only the top percentage of developers across the Americas into US engineering teams — without the stacked markup, the marketplace whiplash, or the payment-risk theatre.

02 · the team

Operators who ran projects before they ran sourcing.

Founded by engineering leaders who spent a combined two decades inside US-based product teams, engaging contractors the hard way. sourceBOLD was built because every existing option broke in a different place. Headquartered in Silicon Slopes, Utah.

03 · what we believe

Three commitments we wrote down so we couldn’t quietly back out.

01

Vetting that’s measured, not just a claim

Acceptance rate, time-to-placement, and retention are tracked internally and calibrated against placement outcomes. If a metric slips, we ask hard questions rather than ship a placement we can’t justify.

02

Money flow as a feature, not a footnote

Developers are paid only after your invoice settles — never floated on credit and billed back to you. The platform enforces it in code: the same payout schedule every cycle, reconcilable line-by-line against your bank statements.

03

No employees on either side

sourceBOLD doesn’t employ developers, and you don’t employ them through us. Every engagement is contractor-to-contractor — sourceBOLD as the platform and counterparty — so you carry no employment relationship and no cross-border employment exposure.

04 · trust & security

Security isn’t a sticker. It’s the architecture.

The portal is built on a zero-trust default-deny architecture: every server boundary re-checks role and identity. Sensitive fields — bank details, government IDs — are encrypted at the field level. Every privileged operation writes a row to a tamper-evident audit chain.

We maintain a subprocessor list, retention policy, and compliance purge workflow — published, not buried. Everything else isn’t policy; it’s enforced in code. The controls here aren’t aspirations, they’re invariants.

Zero-trust default-deny
Nothing’s reachable until authorized
State privacy laws
Erase-on-request, honored in code
AES-256 at rest
Bank + ID fields unreadable without the key
Cryptographic audit log
History can’t be rewritten unnoticed
MFA-gated mutations
Stolen password alone can’t move money
Funding gate · zero float
Developers paid only after your invoice settles
05 · how we handle your money

We do not float, lend, or co-mingle.

Client funds settle into our operating account, are matched 1:1 against linked developer payouts, and are dispatched on a published schedule. Disputes pause the gate. Override authority is restricted to Executive Administrators and every override writes a captured-reason audit row.

The state transition shown is the actual invariant — not a diagram of one. Your CFO can hold us to it by reconciling our payout schedule against your invoice settlement dates.

// Excerpt from internal architectural rules. // Available to clients on request. // Every payout (contractor, professional, // reimbursement) links to a specific // client invoice. State transition: FUNDING_PENDING → PAYMENT_READY // requires linked invoice = PAID, // or its payment row = SETTLED. // Override authority: // Payments Manager — NONE // Executive Admin — captured reason, // audit-logged, // hash-chained.
