01 — manifesto

Most recruiters can't tell a Solution Engineer from a Sales Engineer from a Forward-Deployed Engineer.

We only work this cluster, so we can. 6+ years in technical recruitment, several hundred profiles placed, and a 7-figure recruitment business behind us.

We're technical ourselves, fluent in APIs, databases, query, and LLMs. So we understand the work, talk to candidates as peers, and judge fit the way a hiring manager would, not by matching keywords on a CV.

We read what the title hides and what a CV won't show. So you see profiles that actually fit, not ten that look right and miss, and nobody loses hours on the wrong shortlist.

02 — roles we place

The technical people in the sales motion.

01

Solution Engineer

The technical advisor in the deal. Discovery, demos, and proofs-of-concept that win the technical evaluation.

02

Sales Engineer

Commercially driven technical sellers who remove objections and prove the product against the competition.

03

Solutions Architect

Designs the end-to-end architecture for enterprise buyers and speaks as a peer to their CTOs and chief architects.

04

Pre-Sales Engineer

Owns technical qualification, RFPs, and security reviews to de-risk the evaluation before procurement.

05

Forward-Deployed Engineer

Embeds with the customer to build production-grade solutions on top of the platform, code in hand.

06

Integration / Implementation

Wires the product into the customer stack and takes them from signed contract to live production.
