Whether you're scaling a legacy platform or building a greenfield product, we’ll find engineers who align with your codebase, roadmap and culture.
Start by submitting your vacancy on our website. One of our software engineering consultants will get in touch to understand your stack, product roadmap and team structure. From there, we’ll handle the sourcing, screening and interviews — and introduce you to engineers who can code, collaborate and deliver value quickly.
Most engineering roles are filled within 10 working days. We move fast from brief to shortlist, while making sure every candidate is technically strong, team-aligned and ready to contribute. No fluff, no wasted interviews — just quality candidates who fit.
Look for engineers who think in systems, write clean, maintainable code and collaborate with product and design. The best candidates understand architecture, debug efficiently and contribute to decisions — not just code. Experience with your frameworks, cloud environment or CI/CD setup is a bonus, but mindset matters just as much.
Yes. Whether you’ve just secured funding, are preparing for a product launch, or need to replace multiple contractors, we’ll help you scale fast. We already know developers across backend, frontend, mobile and DevOps — so we can move quickly without compromising on fit or technical quality.
Absolutely. We regularly place engineers into remote, hybrid and on-site roles across the UK and Europe. Whether you’re building a distributed team or expanding your engineering hub, we’ll connect you with candidates who thrive in your working environment.
