For engineers

Outreach worth opening

We recruit AI and data engineers, and we come from those roles ourselves. When we get in touch there is a specific reason, and we can answer technical questions about the job without going back to the client.

What is different here

We know the stack you would inherit

For any role we bring you, we can tell you what that system actually does, the data volumes, what is already built, what is held together with cron jobs, and what problem you would be solving in the first quarter.

Few roles at a time

We work a small number of searches at once. If we contact you about a role, it is because we think that particular one is worth your time.

Straight answers

We tell you what the hiring manager said, give you real feedback after interviews, and let you know quickly when something is not going to happen.

Who we work with

  • AI engineers
  • Forward deployed AI engineers
  • Data engineers
  • Machine learning engineers
  • Analytics engineers
  • Data platform engineers

Senior through to principal.

The roles worth having at this level rarely reach a job board. They move through networks, often before anyone has written a job description. The way to see them is to be known by the right people before you need to be.

If that is you, it is worth a conversation even if you are not looking. Most of the engineers we place were not looking when we first spoke.

You might want to talk to us if

  • You are not looking, and would still take the call
  • You want an honest read on the market without starting a search
  • You want the technical detail on a role before you spend an evening on it
  • You care about the engineering problem as much as the number
  • Your LinkedIn says nothing about looking, and you would like to keep it that way

How it works

Step one

Introductory call

What you have built, what you are good at, and what you would want next. No pressure and no CV required to have the conversation.

Step two

Staying in touch

We keep in touch whether or not there is a role on the table: who is building what, which teams are hiring, where you are up to. Nothing automated and no newsletter. When we do bring you a specific job, we say why we think it is worth your time.

Step three

Full briefing

Everything we know about the role. The stack, the team, the manager, the money, and the parts that are harder than they sound.

Step four

You decide

We prepare you properly, manage the process, and give you honest feedback at each stage. The decision stays yours.

Not looking, but curious

Send us a note and we will keep you in mind for the right role. No CV needed to start a conversation.
