Moonlighting connects skilled IT professionals, many between roles after layoffs, with companies that have real work but can't justify a full-time hire. Part-time. Remote. Month to month. 10–20 hours a week, not zero.
Free for talent. Companies: one all-in rate, our margin is 0% for the first 2 weeks.
Not a one-off gig. Not a full-time hire. A vetted person, part-time, every week, at a fraction of the cost.
Your skills + how many hours a week. Set your rate.
Part-time roles that fit, ranked by match, not lowest bid.
Join part-time, keep your evenings, steady income.
Role, skills, hours, budget. 5 minutes, no headcount fight.
Vetted, ranked matches in days, not a pile of CVs.
One-month part-time trial. Works → keep & grow. Doesn't → walk away.
Laid off, after flexibility, or a lean team that needs the right 15 hours, start free today.
Join free →We vouch for what we actually know. Every match is vetted by an ex-Staff QA, so we start where that judgement is real: QA, test and engineering management.
Playwright, Cypress, CI pipelines, frameworks that last.
Risk-based testing, the edge cases nobody scripted.
Test strategy, process and quality gates, part-time.
Human checks on LLM output where evals fall short.
Regression gating, flaky-test cleanup, faster releases.
Fractional team lead, mentoring, hiring & process.
Nailing QA first, on purpose. Adjacent roles come next.
Unlike gig sites, you get the same person every week, embedded in your context, just part-time. A real teammate, not a task-rabbit.
Pay for the 15 hours you need, not a 40-hour salary plus overhead. Scale up or down month to month.
We check skills and availability and score reliability, so you get a short, ranked shortlist, not a race to the bottom.
Built for the talented people layoffs left behind. Their skills didn't vanish, the full-time slot did. We reconnect them to work.
Work from anywhere, on the hours that fit your life. Stack clients, keep your evenings, stay in the game.
One month, one role, part-time. No long contract, no severance, no headcount fight. Results decide what happens next.
Done-for-you placement, you get a person, not a platform to manage.
Your skills are the value. We don't tax them.
The talent's rate + a flat margin, one clean hourly number, fully managed.
Hiring several fractional roles? Better blended rate.

Those are one-off gigs and a race to the lowest bid. Moonlighting is ongoing part-time roles, the same vetted person every week, embedded in your team, just at part-time hours. A teammate, not a task.
Toptal and agencies are expensive and project-based. We're built for lean teams who need a recurring fraction of a role affordably, and for people who want steady part-time income, not just a project.
No. Part-time work here can be a bridge while you look for full-time, or a deliberate choice. Many people stack two or three part-time clients into a flexible, remote career on their own terms.
We verify skills and availability and track reliability over time, so companies get a short, ranked shortlist instead of a flood of applications. Quality of match is the whole point.
That's exactly who this is for. You pay for the hours you actually need (e.g. 15/week), not a full salary plus overhead, and you can start with a low-risk one-month trial.
We're remote-first and help with contracts and invoicing; for cross-border engagements we partner with contractor-of-record providers so both sides stay compliant.
