ABOUT 8X CONTESTS

A Builder-First
Talent Platform

8x Contests exists to help engineers prove their capability by shipping products. We run practical build challenges, reward the strongest submissions, and create clear pathways into real product teams.

How We Operate

01

Build Over Buzzwords

We evaluate execution, product thinking, and engineering judgment through real implementation work, not resume keyword matching.

02

Merit Through Shipping

Every contest is designed to simulate practical delivery constraints. Strong builders get recognized quickly.

03

A Direct Talent Pipeline

Top performers can move from contest winners to interview loops and full-time opportunities with 8x Social.

FOR ENGINEERS

Pick a live contest, ship your implementation, and submit your walkthrough. Winners receive prize payouts and can be invited to interview for upcoming products.

FOR TEAMS

We surface builders who can translate ambiguity into shipped product experiences. Contests act as signal-rich, real-world screening.
