Distro operates a talent marketplace connecting companies with developers across 200+ countries, then handles hiring and payroll automation. The tech stack reveals a dual-track operation: a core engineering layer (Elixir, React, Node.js, PostgreSQL, AWS) paired with deep payroll and HR infrastructure (Paylocity, ADP, QuickBooks, Xero), suggesting the business has evolved beyond pure marketplace matching into a full employment-services platform. Active hiring across healthcare, finance, and construction departments signals expansion beyond pure tech staffing into vertical-specific hiring and payroll services.
