How it works

Post a role. Paste it in, messy is fine. AI drafts the profile; you edit and approve.

Share one private link. Drop it in a WhatsApp group, a Slack, a DM. Only someone with the link sees the role.

Read the work, not the résumé. Engineers apply with real repos. This is what comes back:

The call

Operates at founding-engineer scope: ships Rust services end to end, and has run them under enough real load to design for failure rather than react to it.

One honest reservation

Every artifact is greenfield work in repositories they own, with no reviews given on anyone else’s code — there is no signal on how they operate inside a codebase they did not write.

The evidence behind the call Showing 1 of 11 findings

They found a failure that only shows up under real traffic — the service quietly eating memory until it died — and fixed the design rather than the symptom, leaving a note so the next person doesn’t undo it.

Product 1 replaces the unbounded channel between the socket reader and the parser with a bounded one, and the comment records why: the unbounded version let a slow consumer grow the heap until the process was OOM-killed under replay load.

Nominated artifact 1 — Product 1 backend, ingest module

Illustrative — never a score, a percentage, or a ranking. Real reads are private to the engineer and to you. Repo names never reach you: the work shows as Product 1, Product 2, and what the code does. The code itself is read once to produce the read, then discarded — Goalday never stores it, and a scoped token, if the engineer grants one, is used once and never stored.

Not a job board

Every Goalday listing is private. Always.
