The client needed to scale their engineering team quickly to support rapid product growth. They were struggling to attract experienced backend engineers with expertise in cloud infrastructure and distributed systems.

Internal recruiting efforts had produced limited results, and several roles had remained open for more than 90 days.

02Search

A detailed intake with the engineering leadership team covered the technical stack and architecture, the team culture and collaboration style, and the candidate motivations that would attract top engineers.

A targeted search followed: direct outreach to passive candidates, the existing network of senior engineers, and screening for both technical ability and cultural alignment.
