The roles we fill

Who we find for you.

Speed to market depends on the strength of your codebase. RecT identifies engineers who do not just write code but build for scale, vetting for technical depth and cultural fit to ensure your team ships high quality software at 10x speed.

  • Backend Engineer

    Builds the services, APIs and data layers behind the product.

  • Full Stack Developer

    Ships features end to end, from database to interface.

  • Frontend Architect

    Sets the structure, performance and standards of the user-facing app.

  • DevOps Engineer

    Automates builds, deployments and infrastructure so teams ship safely and often.

  • Site Reliability Engineer

    Keeps systems fast and available through monitoring, incident response and capacity planning.

  • Cloud Architect

    Designs secure, cost-aware cloud infrastructure.

  • Platform Engineer

    Builds the internal tools and platforms other engineers build on.

How we assess

Engineers who build for scale.

Every candidate is technically screened and spoken to before you meet them.

  1. Codebase immersion

    For senior hires, we look at how candidates navigate complex repositories. Can they find the bottleneck? Can they refactor without breaking the build?

  2. Architecture, not just syntax

    We vet for technical depth: how candidates design for scale and reliability, not only how they write code.

  3. Fit with your team

    We check how candidates work with others as well as what they know, so they ship well inside your team.
