Hire a Platform Engineer
The infrastructure hire who makes everyone else faster.
Platform engineers are the hardest role to source
- Retained recruiters.
- LinkedIn Recruiter seats.
- Keyword-matched resumes.
- Templated InMails.
Great platform engineers are invisible when things work and irreplaceable when they don't. They build the systems that every other engineer depends on — CI/CD, observability, deployment, developer tooling. Finding someone with deep infrastructure skills who also cares about developer experience is genuinely rare.
The candidates you want are not scrolling job boards. They're deep in Kubernetes configs, contributing to open source infrastructure projects, or quietly keeping a startup's entire platform running. They often don't even have 'platform engineer' in their title.
“Your outreach emails are too good — candidate quality is the highest by far. We certainly wouldn't have found this person on our own.”

Questions.
Answered.
Traditional recruiters charge 20–30% of first-year salary and run a generic search across multiple clients at once. Our agent goes deep on just your company — researching thousands of candidates and bringing back people who are specifically a fit, not just generically good.
$500 per agent per month operational, plus a 15% success fee on first-year base salary only — not equity, not bonus. No retainer, no upfront commitment, no percentage-of-OTE gotchas.
Most searches produce a curated shortlist within 2–3 weeks. Signed offers range from 5 to 12 weeks end-to-end, depending on role seniority and your interview cadence.
We offer a 90-day replacement guarantee. If they leave for any reason within 90 days, we re-run the search at no additional cost.
There's an initial voice intake — usually 30–45 minutes — where the agent learns your company, values, and the specific shape of who you're hiring. After that, you review curated candidates as they come in. No daily standups.
