Job boards are dead. Your network is alive.

You don’t need another job board.
You need a signal in the noise.

Indy AI, a new feature by Contra, helps independents find career-defining opportunities through the networks they’ve already built. It connects to LinkedIn and X, then quietly surfaces warm, high-fit opportunities hiding in your extended network, including from people you didn’t even know were hiring.

No cold outreach. No endless scrolling. No pitching into the void.

This is work that finds you. Real opportunities, backed by real people you already know.

Let Indy AI do the searching, so you can focus on the work that actually matters.
