Deep Tech

The people who build complex technology - and the people who know how to take it to market.

The problem

Compilers, AI infrastructure, developer tools, distributed systems and the layers where hardware meets software. These are difficult products to build, understand and sell.

Hiring here requires more than matching a job title. It means knowing what separates an exceptional engineer from a good one - and which commercial people can credibly sell highly technical products to sophisticated buyers.

Our network has been built through years of proximity to both sides of the market. We know where the strongest technical talent sits, which teams are doing interesting work, and which GTM leaders, sellers and solutions people understand how to turn complex technology into commercial growth.

The roles we work on are rarely straightforward. The people we present are rarely found through a conventional search.

How we help in deep tech

Advisory & Analytics

Where the talent is, who is building the best teams, what they earn and what it takes to move them. Live market intelligence across engineering and technical GTM.

Permanent Search

Permanent, retained and exclusive search across specialist engineering and technical GTM. From individual critical hires to building teams across multiple functions and geographies.

Contract & Project Solutions

Specialist engineering and technical talent for projects, product builds and longer-term capability needs - from individual contractors to dedicated teams.

Selected work
01A relationship that started with a PhD Compiler Engineer and Programming Language expert, resulted in building out core engineering teams and entire GTM functions across 3 continents.
02No open mandate. One carefully selected candidate. One targeted introduction to an AI inference and serving team - turning pinpoint market knowledge into a hire before the search existed.

Hiring in deep tech, or thinking about it?

It's easier to help at the start than to take over a search that's already run for six months.
