We are building assessments for the way engineering teams already evaluate code.
Merge turns code review into a focused 30-minute assessment. Candidates review a realistic pull request, our AI applies their feedback, and the hiring team sees how their judgment evolves.
Engineering hiring needs a better proxy for real team work.
AI is shipping more code, which puts more review pressure on engineers. The best way to assess candidates is not just to let them code with AI. It is to see whether they can review AI-assisted work, catch risks, and keep your codebase high-quality, maintainable, and safe to ship.

We are engineers, designers, and operators building a hiring loop that respects how modern software teams actually work.
