Reliability & Instrumentation: Set the bar for reliability: implement SLOs, circuit breakers, retries/backoffs, dead-letter queues, shadow traffic, and canary releases for all high-risk financial flows. Instrument everything with traces, metrics, and logs. Build internal ops & compliance dashboards and participate in the production on-call rotation for our 24/7 system.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
