About the role
Contract role in Irving, TX. Onsite engagement, matched and submitted by an ApTask vertical recruiter.
About technology at ApTask
What this vertical looks like inside ApTask.
Technology roles at ApTask cover the software, cloud, data, security, and platform-engineering functions that power Fortune 500 digital operations. Our recruiters specialise in high-signal technical calibration - every candidate is validated against the specific stack, framework versions, and deployment context the client runs, not a keyword match. Our largest engagements sit inside AWS, Azure, GCP, Snowflake, Databricks, and modern data-mesh estates. Because we route through Fieldglass, Beeline, Workday VNDLY, and Coupa VMS, technology contractors placed through ApTask carry MBE diversity spend against the client's supplier program while remaining W-2 with full benefits under our payroll.
How it works
What happens after you apply.
1. Verified profile
Submit your résumé and complete the ApTask identity + skills verification. We check right-to-work, background, and technical calibration once - never resell or re-verify - so future roles surface faster.
2. Recruiter calibration call
Within one business day, the recruiter who owns this requisition reviews your profile against the client's specific stack, arrangement, and start-date requirements. You'll hear back either way - no ghosting.
3. Client interview
If your profile is a fit, we present you to the hiring team. Most clients run 2-3 interview stages: hiring-manager screen, technical panel, and final. We prep you with the exact scorecard criteria before each round.
4. Offer + onboarding
On acceptance, you onboard W-2 with ApTask (contract) or direct-hire with the client (per role type). Benefits, payroll, and timesheets run through us. Your recruiter stays your point of contact for the length of the engagement.
