AI & Applied ML
Model and pipeline engineers, evaluation and annotation teams, MLOps and inference cost work. A fit when your US or EU team is small and each Bengaluru hire needs to work as a senior, with light day-to-day oversight.
Industries
We would rather know five markets well than twenty badly
Hiring well depends on knowing what good looks like, what it costs this quarter and where those people currently work. That knowledge does not generalise, so we keep the focus narrow.
Where we focus
Teams we know how to hire for
We stay narrow on purpose. These are the skill markets we track in Bengaluru: live salary bands, real notice periods, and a clear read on who is free to join.
Blockchain & Web3
Protocol and smart contract engineers, node and infrastructure ops, wallet and integration work. Compliance and key-handling go into the first contracts. We hire against live Bengaluru bands and known notice windows.
Data & Analytics
Data engineering, warehouse and pipeline ownership, BI and analytics engineering. A strong fit for India: measurable output, async delivery, and senior owners who talk straight to your business stakeholders.
SaaS Engineering & Support
Product engineering pods, QA and release, plus tiered customer and technical support across European mornings and US off-hours. Senior people who own outcomes, priced and paced for how Bengaluru works.
Cloud, Platform & SRE
Site Reliability Engineering, Kubernetes orchestration, cloud architecture on AWS, GCP and Azure, and CI/CD automation. Built for 24/7 reliability, incident response and infrastructure cost control during European mornings and the hours your US team is offline.
Team shapes that tend to work
A capability centre is not a pile of individual hires. These are the starting shapes we see succeed most often at small scale, each designed so that nobody is the only person who knows something.
Product pod (4-6 people)
two to three engineers, a QA engineer and a part-time designer or analyst, owning one service or module end to end.
Data team (3-5 people)
a data engineer, an analytics engineer and a BI analyst, with a senior lead who talks directly to your business stakeholders.
Support and operations (4-8 people)
tiered support covering the European working day and the US overnight window, with a lead who owns escalation.
Platform and SRE (4-8 people)
SREs and platform engineers covering Kubernetes, cloud architecture and CI/CD, with on-call that owns reliability and cost during European mornings and US off-hours.
If your plan needs a shape that is not here, say so on the call. We will either tell you how to structure it or tell you it is a bad idea in India.
