Senior+ Data & ML Engineers

Outreach Worth
Opening

We only work with senior-to-principal data and ML engineers. We understand your stack, we know the market, and we won't waste your time with roles that aren't right. When we reach out, there's a reason.

Get in Touch

A different kind of recruiter

We come from engineering backgrounds. That changes how we work.

We know your stack

When we brief you on a role we can tell you about the actual stack, the data volumes, the engineering culture, the real technical challenges, and what problem you'd be solving.

Roles worth your consideration

We work a small number of roles at any one time. If we reach out, it's because we genuinely think it's worth your consideration — not because we're hitting a weekly outreach quota.

Straight answers

We'll tell you what the hiring manager thinks, give you honest feedback, and let you know quickly if something isn't going to work. No ghosting, no vague updates.

Who we work with

We focus exclusively on senior-to-principal data and ML engineers. If you're anywhere in that range — we'd like to know you, even if you're not actively looking right now. The best opportunities at this level rarely appear on job boards. They move through networks, often before a JD is written. The way to access them is to be known by the right people before you need to be.

✓ Data engineers, senior to principal
✓ ML Engineers & MLOps Engineers
✓ Data Platform & Infrastructure Engineers
✓ Roles across fintech, quantitative finance, and big tech

You might be a good fit if…

→ You're happy in your current role but open to a genuinely interesting conversation
→ You want to know what the market looks like without committing to an active search
→ You've dealt with recruiters who couldn't explain what dbt does
→ You care about the quality of the engineering problem, not just the comp
→ You're not updating your LinkedIn profile — but you're still open to the right conversation

Confidentiality

We will never share your details with a company without your explicit consent for that specific role. Your current employer will not find out you've spoken to us.

How it works

Introductory call

We learn what you're good at, what you care about, and what you'd want next — on your terms, no pressure.

Selective matching

We only come back to you when something genuinely fits. You won't hear from us weekly with random roles.

Full briefing

If we bring you a role, we give you everything we know — the stack, the team, the culture, the honest upsides and downsides.

You decide

We manage the process, prep you properly, and give you honest feedback at every stage — then you make the call.

Not actively looking? That's fine.

Most of the engineers we place weren't job hunting when we first spoke. Introduce yourself and we'll keep you in mind for the right thing.
