Core systems engineers,
sourced and sandbox-vetted
We don't ship resumes. We ship engineers who have already booted, instrumented, and shipped patches inside a replica of your stack. Every candidate is validated in our isolated laboratory before they reach your inbox.
- first-shortlist hire rate
- median time to validated slate
- kernel-tier candidates sandboxed
Hiring at the kernel layer is not a keyword search.
The engineers who keep autonomous fleets, embedded radios, and hyperscale control planes alive cannot be filtered by a recruiter scanning buzzwords. They are identified by reading their patches, instrumenting their code, and watching how they reason under live faults. That is the entire point of TechHire Labs.
Each engagement begins by mirroring your environment — language, runtime, build system, on-call topology — into an isolated sandbox. Candidates we have already pre-graded are then dropped into your replica and asked to perform real work: tracing a regression, hardening a syscall path, instrumenting a latency budget, or designing a failure-isolation boundary. We watch the work; you read the report.
The result is a shortlist where every name has been observed solving a problem shaped exactly like yours. No more 6-round loops that end in a withdrawn offer. No more staff-level interviewers burning a week per requisition. You receive three to five validated humans and a complete evidence packet for each.

Where our engineers ship
Perception runtimes, deterministic schedulers, sensor-fusion pipelines under hard real-time budgets.
RTOS, baseband, secure boot, and constrained-device firmware shipped at industrial scale.
Control planes, multi-tenant data paths, observability spines, and SRE platforms operating at 9s.
Hand us the requisition. We'll hand you the engineers.
