DEVAE for developers looking for work
DEVAE helps developers looking for work build a public proof-of-work profile, network with engineers in their stack and city, and get referred through a community rather than a job board.
DEVAE is a free developer network where a job seeker builds a public profile from real work, posts, snippets and rooms, and networks with engineers who use the same stack or live in the same city. It is not a job board; it is where the referrals come from.
Most developer jobs are filled through people who have seen your work. DEVAE makes that visible: your profile lists what you shipped and the rooms you hosted, your posts show how you think, and communities put you in front of the developers at companies you want to join. Recruiters see a resume; engineers see a builder.
What job seekers use DEVAE for
A proof-of-work profile
Projects, snippets, hosted rooms and your stack on one public page at devae.co/<username>, indexable by search engines.
Learn more →Network by stack and city
Join the community for your language and your city. Referrals come from people who know you, and these pages are where you meet them.
Learn more →Mock interviews in a room
Practise system design or coding interviews with a peer in a live room with screen sharing. Post "mock interview partner wanted" and match.
Learn more →Show how you work, live
Host a room where you build something small in public. It is the strongest signal a hiring engineer can get.
Learn more →Tools for the application
Generate a GitHub profile README, decode the JWT in a take-home, format the JSON fixture, all free.
Learn more →Groups for hiring companies
Companies and communities run groups on DEVAE; join the ones in your area and stack.
Learn more →Open a room from your terminal
Install the CLI once, then pairing is a single command from the project directory. Screen and terminal are shared with whoever you invite.

Public profiles are indexable, so yes, but the more valuable path is engineers at the company seeing your work.
