About Outship
Software engineering is being rewritten in real time, and hiring is getting pulled along for the ride. With tools like Claude Code and Cursor, being able to ship is the new baseline. The signal for finding extraordinary engineers is the process: how candidates break down work, steer the agent, make tradeoffs, and recover when things break. Outship is a recruiting tool that allows you to capture and analyze that process alongside the final code so you can hire with confidence. Candidates work in a cloud workspace that's ready to code. We handle the environment setup and secret management to give you a level testing ground.
