Independent contractor network

Join the health tech bench.

Widal's referral network for senior engineers and product builders. When we have a workflow we need to staff, we send it to the bench. No SDRs, no recruiter calls. A real engineer reads your profile before any introduction is made.

Coverage
US, EU, Asia. Follow-the-sun engagements.
Engagements
6 to 12 week embedded pods, ongoing retainers, one-week architecture reads.
What we offer

Three things,
held seriously.

The bench is small and selective. We refer engineers we would staff on a Widal pod ourselves. That is the bar.

01

Senior work, senior rates

No bench staffing, no juniors shadowing. The person on the kickoff call is the person writing the merge commit. Rates reflect that.

02

Workflows that ship

Embedded with the operator, six to twelve week pods. Production code in production repos. Not a deck, not a pilot.

03

Healthcare context

FHIR, HL7, HIPAA, BAA. The boring substrate that decides whether a build actually lands in clinic.

you ship.

The fields are long because the bench is selective. The more context you provide, the better we can place you.
