SENIOR ENGINEERS FROM A SOFTWARE AGENCY FOUNDER

Find the right engineers with less noise, more magic.

Our secret? We already know them. Let me leverage the relationships I've built over 25 years to help you succeed.

WHO WE FIND FOR YOU

Senior technical talent where fit matters more than keywords.

Backend & Systems

Ruby, Python, Go, Java, Elixir, Rust. The engineers who keep everything running, even at 3 AM.

JavaScript & Frontend

React, Vue, Angular, Node, TypeScript. The people who make it work and make it beautiful.

Full-Stack & Staff+

Engineers who own entire features and make architecture decisions. The ones you build your team around.

Platform & AI/ML

Cloud, DevOps, SRE, data engineering, ML infrastructure. The layer everything else depends on.

Engineering Leadership

Tech leads, managers, directors, VPs. The people who set culture, direction, and pace.

Your Weird Role

"I need someone who can do backend but also talk to clients and maybe manage two juniors." We get it. Half our searches don't fit a neat box.

BRIAN OR NOT BRIAN

Spoiler: if you're reading this, probably Brian.

Life's too short for bad recruiter matches. Let's see if this one fits.

We're great when

  • You need senior engineers and job boards are sending noise
  • Your hiring manager is drowning in screening calls that go nowhere
  • You want to meet 3 great people, not sort through 50 resumes
  • The role is critical and you need a recruiter who actually understands engineering

Probably not the right fit

  • You need junior developers (job boards actually do ok with that)
  • You want volume, not curation (a bigger firm can help)
  • Budget is the only thing that matters (cheapest recruiter gets cheapest candidates, every time)
  • You're not sure what you need yet (actually, call us anyway, we can help you figure it out) ✓
OUR DEVELOPER ROOTS

We build software too.

Mirror was born out of Atlantis Technology, a software development agency. We understand what it's like to be an engineer and to build great dev teams because we've been doing it ourselves since 2001. When your recruiter has spent 25 years inside engineering teams, not just recruiting for them, the conversation is just different.

DON'T TAKE OUR WORD FOR IT

Engineers we placed. Companies that came back.

"As a manager I can say without hesitation that the best members of my team are the ones that have come through Brian and Mirror Placement, and we continue to count on him for top notch talent whenever we're hiring."

Senior Rails Engineer → Director of Engineering
"What sets Brian's company apart is that they understand tech and business and aren't just trying to churn through engineers. They take the time and effort to find a good mutual fit for the long term."
Matt SchwartzMatt Schwartz
"Brian understands the different technologies and what sort of candidates companies are looking for. During the interviewing and negotiating process Brian had useful advice on how to approach certain things."
Eric CranstonEric Cranston
"Brian put me in touch with my prior employer, where I worked for 7.5 years! Unlike most other headhunters, he was never pushy. In addition, he listened to what I was looking for."
