Shiftza scans thousands of GitHub profiles to surface engineers proven by their work—not resumes. Search your domain and find who's already building in it.
Focused evidence for sourcing, ranking, and outreaching developers — built on public GitHub data.
Find engineers already building in your stack. No training months — they contribute from day one.
No sign-up. Works on any public profile.
Add “shift” before any GitHub URL to discover what an engineer actually builds, the technologies they use, and where they have real expertise — beyond commits, pull requests, stars, and lines of code.
