What we do

Recruiting built for technical teams

We are a boutique firm out of the New England area focused on one thing: matching great engineers with the companies that need them. Whether you are training models, sequencing genomes, standing up an EPIC build, or shipping firmware, every party we work with walks away with a culturally aligned, dedicated team set on reaching new heights.

Specialists in every lane

We live in technical hiring every day, from AI infrastructure to bioinformatics pipelines to clinical interfaces, so we speak your stack and know who is actually good.

Culture first matching

Technical fit is table stakes. We dig into mission, working style, and ambition so the people we send actually stay and thrive.

Startup speed, enterprise rigor

No bloated process. Tight, hands on, and fast, with qualified shortlists in days rather than months, whether you are pre seed or a health system.

Practice areas

Eight practices. One standard.

Different domains, same approach: know the work, know the people, move fast. If your role sits between two of these, that is usually where we do our best work.

AI and Machine Learning

Model development, large language model systems, and the infrastructure that keeps them running in production.

Data and Platform Engineering

Pipelines, warehouses, and cloud foundations, the plumbing that everything else depends on.

Data Engineer · Analytics Engineer · Platform Engineering · Site Reliability Engineering · Cloud Architecture

Cybersecurity

Protecting regulated data and critical systems, from the security operations desk to the architecture review.

Security Engineering · Application Security · Cloud Security · Governance, Risk, and Compliance · Identity and Access

Robotics, Embedded, and Devices

Software that touches the physical world, including the regulated world of medical devices.

Embedded Software · Robotics and Controls · Firmware · Medical Device Software · Mechatronics · Test and Verification

Software and Product Engineering

The core builders: front end, back end, mobile, and the leaders who grow those teams.

Don't see your discipline? We work with engineers of all kinds. These are the areas we go deepest in, but if you build things for a living, we would like to talk.
