We recruit engineering leaders and senior engineers for companies where the work is genuinely difficult — applied AI, computer vision, and platforms that carry real weight.
What we recruit
We work on a retained and embedded basis, which means a small number of searches at a time, at the level where a single hire changes what a team is capable of.
VP and Head of Engineering, and the first leadership hires that set a team's standards.
Computer vision, ML systems, and engineers shipping AI into products people actually use.
Frontend, backend, platform and forward-deployed engineers at staff and principal level.
How we work
Search is largely an information problem. We've spent our time building the tooling that keeps our data honest, so the judgment calls get made on something real.
Profiles get checked against live sources rather than trusted from a stale record. Someone who changed jobs six months ago doesn't reach you described as though they didn't.
Every screen produces a consistent written record, so comparisons across a pipeline hold up and feedback arrives while it still matters.
Scheduling, follow-ups, data hygiene and reporting run themselves. The time that frees goes into candidate conversations and calibration with your team.
Each search gets a proper page in the client's own branding, rather than a wall of text on a job board that undersells the opportunity.
How we engage
Retained search for the hires that need to be right — leadership roles, first-of-their-kind hires, the searches where a bad outcome costs a year.
Embedded when you need recruiting capacity inside the team rather than alongside it. We work as part of your hiring function, in your tools and your standups, for as long as the need lasts.
Typically early and growth-stage teams with technical founders, hiring in San Francisco, New York and remote — often building for industries that software has historically ignored. We're comfortable working across time zones and alongside engineering teams that aren't all in one country.
Get in touch
If you're working on a search that's been open too long, or you're about to open one that matters, we're happy to talk it through — whether or not we end up working together.
