Practice areas

Built for the engineering disciplines other recruiters can't evaluate.

</>

Quantitative Developers

C++, Rust, kdb+, signal pipelines, execution stacks.

</>

Distributed Consensus

BFT engineers, MEV researchers, zk circuit specialists.

</>

Low-Latency Systems

Kernel bypass, FPGA co-design, deterministic networking.

</>

ML Infrastructure

CUDA kernels, distributed training, inference platforms.

Engagement logic tree

A deterministic path from brief to placement.

Every engagement traverses the same decision tree — domain classification, vetting matrix, calibrated shortlist — so signal beats anecdote at every branch.

Vetting matrix

Five weighted axes. Zero generalist filler.

Candidates are scored against a transparent rubric tuned to your domain. Anything below threshold never reaches your inbox.
