The lemon tea
C developers for code close to the metal
Firmware, a native library or a module where every microsecond counts? C work needs developers who manage memory by hand without leaving leaks behind.

Sanitizers on, always
Interviewers listen for AddressSanitizer and Valgrind used out of habit, and a clear account of undefined behavior before it bites in production.

Systems profiles, open
No other marketplace lets you search its pool like this: browse vetted C profiles yourself and see what else each developer has shipped.

Test them on your code
Bring your own technical interview or a review of a real pull request before you confirm anyone.
Why hire C developers
A C developer is who you call when software has to fit on a chip or run without a runtime.
Firmware and drivers
Code for microcontrollers, sensors and device drivers where there's no OS to lean on.
Native libraries
Fast C modules your Python, Go or Node.js app can call for the heavy lifting.
Legacy C codebases
Fix, port and modernize C code that nobody on the team wants to touch.
Networking and protocols
Parsers, servers and protocol stacks where memory and latency budgets are tight.
Case studies
