Sponsoring The Pragmatic Engineer

I occasionally receive inquiries about sponsorships for The Pragmatic Engineer newsletter or blog.

I do not offer any form of sponsorships, partnerships, or collaborations in exchange for any form of payment or any financial benefit. This is because I want to stay fully independent as a newsletter and blog and be unbiased in any recommendations I make. See also my ethics statement.

The Pragmatic Engineer Newsletter is the #1 technology newsletter on Substack. This independent viewpoint, together with the no third party advertisements, no sponsorships, and no hidden advertisements, helps build trust with readers. This independence is more valuable for me than any sponsorship might be. The only advertisement on my website and free newsletter is the list of featured job posts from my Pragmatic Engineer Job Board and Talent Collective.

A the same time, I can recommend sites and newsletters to reach software engineers which do offer paid sponsorships:
