Grey8

Train. Assess. Certify.
Place.

The proprietary commercial layer that extends our open-source Learn bootcamp into a full AI-engineering talent pipeline. Built for employers who can't find junior AI engineers that ship.

The pipeline, end to end

A continuous track from learner to vetted hire. Each stage builds on the previous; nothing is bolted on.

Train

Open-source curriculum, free.

The learn-ai-with-grey8 bootcamp covers the AI engineering stack we use in production: retrieval, agents, evaluation, deploys. AGPL-3.0, self-hosted. Read more →

Assess

Proctored, project-based.

Candidates submit working code against held-out problem sets. Proctoring is screen + camera + LLM-judged code review. Cheating is hard; demonstrating skill is the easy path.

Certify

A signal employers can trust.

Per-track certificates with verifiable URLs. Each certificate links to the candidate's submitted artifacts and the rubric they were evaluated against, so an employer can audit the bar themselves.

Place

Direct match, no agency markup.

Employers post roles; certified candidates apply. Grey8 stays out of the negotiation. We collect a flat success fee — no recruiter retainer, no margin on salary.

For employers

Vetted, not just resumed

Every certified candidate has shipped working code under proctored conditions. You're not screening on credentials; you're screening on demonstrated execution.

Audit the bar yourself

Every certificate links to its rubric and the candidate's submission. If the bar feels too low for your role, you can see exactly where it sits before you spend a screening hour.

For candidates

Train for free, get paid to demonstrate it

The bootcamp is open source and self-paced. Certifications and placement are the only commercial layer — and they're free for candidates. Employers pay the success fee.

Certifications that mean something

Most AI certs test multiple-choice trivia. Ours requires you to ship working code against a held-out problem under timed, proctored conditions. The signal compresses meaningfully.

Join the Talent waitlist

Talent platform is in design. We're collecting interest from employers who want vetted AI engineers and learners who want a track that ends in placement, not a PDF certificate.

Drop a one-line note in the role field — we'll triage employers and candidates separately.
