I have a CS degree. When you explain your architecture decisions, I understand what you're saying. That changes the entire conversation.
I won't ask you to "walk me through your CV." I'll ask about the architectural decisions you've made and why. If you're senior, you'll find it refreshing.
I send maximum 3 CVs per role. That means I only put you forward where you're genuinely a strong match. Your time is not wasted on processes that were never going to result in an offer.
I will never send your CV to a client without telling you who it is and getting your agreement first. Full stop.
If you don't get the role, I'll tell you exactly why — not "they went with another direction." If there's something to work on, I'll say it plainly.
No handoff to a junior after the first call. I handle the relationship from first conversation through to your first day.
Senior permanent roles at Series A/B UK tech companies. Indicative — live roles vary.
Series A/B SaaS or FinTech. AWS-heavy, Kubernetes, Terraform. Pipeline and infra ownership.
Real SRE roles — SLO ownership, error budgets, incident command. Mature eng culture.
Building internal developer platforms. Strong Kubernetes, developer experience focus.
Technical leadership, architecting platforms, mentoring, influencing engineering direction.
A real conversation. What you've built, what you want next, salary expectations, remote preferences, company stage.
Matched against live roles and future searches. If nothing fits now, I keep you in mind and reach out when something relevant comes up. No spam.
Before your CV goes anywhere, I brief you fully on the company, team, engineering culture, on-call setup, and what the hiring manager is really looking for.
For technical interviews, I prep you on what they're actually going to probe — not generic advice. I know how these teams assess seniority.
I manage the offer process and help you negotiate without burning the relationship. Honest advice on whether the number is right for the market.
Let's have a proper conversation about what you want next.
