Code Bounty Program

Get paid to contribute to Open Source!

The Machi-Systems engineering team is small, and we're always looking for new contributors to our Open Source codebases. Our Bounty program is an opportunity to solve issues that could be neglected otherwise. Contributors who fix these issues will be rewarded financially.

Principles

With money, but not only about money

Our bounty program is about creating opportunities for our community to contribute to Machi-Systems, to make it their own. It also gives us an opportunity to get to know developers who we could potentially work with more in the future. We celebrate making open source contributions more sustainable by paying, but money alone shouldn't be the primary motivation for participation.

No compromise on quality

We're not able to accept pull requests that aren't completed to a high standard in a reasonable timeframe. Please only pick up bounties that you are confident you can complete at your current knowledge and skill level. We will not accept pull requests or pay bounties for code that's not up to the standard we need to maintain for the Collectives who rely on this platform.

Our dev team is happy to answer questions and provide some limited support, but we don't have capacity to mentor junior developers through the bounty program.

For general guidelines about what's expected in the code, see more info here.

How it works

For reference, until July 2021, we used the following model:

$100: minimal or unknown complexity
$200: simple complexity
$500: medium complexity

But since then we plan to move to a more flexible one. Based on the importance of the issue and its complexity, we attach a bounty between $100 and $1000 to the ticket.

We want to attract quality contributions. The issue will only be considered complete and approved for payment if the Pull Request is merged by an Machi-System Core Developer.
