Independent Collective
Haltman is a group of Brazilian hackers. Friends for over a decade, building public, privacy-first infrastructure and free software.
We build, break, audit, and publish.
We do not sell platforms. We do not run franchises.
We do not ask permission.
“We were not assembled by hype, funding, or pitch decks. We were assembled by time.”
Operating Values
Doctrine
Independence
We answer to no one. No board. No investors. No sponsors. Our independence guarantees our freedom.
Transparency
Every tool is open source. Every decision is visible. No back rooms. No hidden agendas.
Public Output
We publish. We document. We release. Our work speaks for itself. Not our marketing.
No Hierarchy
Flat structure. No leaders. No bosses. No titles. No org charts. Respect is earned by output.
Mutual Aid
When one of us needs help, the others show up. No invoices. No politics. Just engineering.
No Compromise
We do not water down our principles for comfort, profit, or acceptance. Those who trade freedom for security end up with neither.

Open Collective
We do not recruit.
We recognize.
No application forms. No interviews. No HR department. If you share our values and your work speaks for itself, reach out.
