  • Cloud & Cloud-Native Engineering: Proven experience building and operating applications on AWS, with hands-on knowledge of cloud-native patterns including load balancing, API gateways, resilience, observability, and container orchestration.
  • AI-Driven Engineering: Proven ability to leverage modern AI development tools (e.g. Claude Code, Codex, or similar) to accelerate software delivery, improve engineering quality, and actively coach teammates on effective AI-assisted development practices.
  • Technical Influence: Demonstrated experience leading technical initiatives, influencing stakeholders, and driving alignment across teams without direct authority.
  • Problem Solving: Strong analytical skills with demonstrated ability to troubleshoot complex production issues, make sound technical decisions, and consistently deliver reliable software.

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.
