Product and engineering recruitment

The engineers who build the product and the product people who decide what gets built.

Overview

How we approach product & engineering hiring

Product and engineering are recruited together here because they fail together. A staff engineer joining a team without product clarity leaves; a product manager without engineering credibility never gets traction.

Searches are scoped against architecture, delivery model and the actual seniority bar, not a title inflated to attract applications.

    Software engineering

    Backend, frontend and full-stack engineers in product companies and platform teams.

  • 02

    Platform, cloud and SRE

    Infrastructure, developer platform, reliability and performance engineering.

  • 03

    Embedded, systems and robotics

    Real-time control, firmware, systems architecture and hardware-adjacent software.

    Product management

    Product managers, group product managers and platform product specialists.

  • 05

    Engineering leadership

    Engineering managers, directors and heads of engineering across the same teams.

Engagement

Permanent, contract and leadership search

Permanent

Permanent hiring across individual contributor and management tracks, with calibration on the level, not just the title.

Contract and interim

Contract engineers and interim engineering leadership for delivery peaks, platform migrations and cover during permanent search.

Leadership search

VP Engineering, VP Product and CTO appointments are handled as leadership search across this practice.

For candidates

A confidential conversation, not a CV database

We work with engineers and product people over years rather than transactions, and we are candid about which teams are genuinely worth moving for.

Questions

Product & Engineering hiring, answered

Do you cover product as well as engineering?
Yes. Product management sits inside this practice rather than being treated separately.
Do you recruit embedded and robotics engineers?
Yes, including real-time control, firmware and systems architecture roles.
Can you hire an entire team?
We take on multi-hire mandates where the volume still allows partner-led attention on each search.
