About Blacksmith Experience

Anyone can generate code with AI. We show who can actually engineer.

You work on a real codebase with an AI engineering team that reviews every pull request. You leave with a record of how you work that anyone can check. The work is real. The teammates are AI.

Why we built it.

The way people get into engineering has changed twice. We built for the second change.

Before

You needed a job to get experience.

Courses taught coding syntax, and certificates only showed that you attended. Nobody reviewed your code, so a first job was the only place to learn how real teams work.

Then

Then AI started writing the code.

Code started to look the same. A CV, a GitHub profile or a take-home test no longer showed who understood their work, and hiring teams noticed.

Now

Now you can join a team straight away.

An engineering manager, a tech lead, a staff engineer and eight specialists, all AI. They review your work, ask you to change it and write down what they see. Your level comes from that record.

What we believe.

The work is real

Real products, a real codebase and your own GitHub repository, live at a web address.

The AI never writes your code

It plans, reviews and teaches. You write the code, and you get the credit.

Evidence, not badges

Every level links to the pull request, code review or walkthrough it came from.

Built for engineers everywhere

We started in Nigeria and set our prices for it. Engineers anywhere can join.

The team you join

Eleven AI engineers, each with a role. One empty seat for you.

Adaeze runs your sprint kickoff. Lars reviews every pull request. Naledi asks who each feature is for. Farah tests the things users are told not to do.
