People-first staffing. Engineer-led consulting.

We started Tiya Tech Traders to fix something simple: companies were getting résumés, not results. Today we operate the way we always wanted to be operated on, with vetted senior talent, plain talk, and accountability that doesn't end at the contract.

Our story

Founded in Dallas. Built for teams that ship.

Tiya Traders LLC was started by engineers and operators who'd spent a decade on the other side of the table: interviewing candidates, writing checks for consultants, watching delivery slip. We knew the failure modes intimately, so we built a company designed to avoid them.

The model is straightforward. A small senior bench. Slow hiring on our side. Fast turnaround on yours. A delivery lead who stays with the engagement from intro call to closing retro.

What we stand for

Four ideas that shape every engagement.

Right fit, not fast fill

A bad hire costs ten times more than a slower one. We'd rather wait a week than place someone who doesn't suit the team.

Engineers screen engineers

Technical screens are run by working practitioners, not recruiters reading from a script. The bar is honest.

Say it plainly

No buzzwords, no consultant-speak. Status updates are honest about what shipped and what slipped.

Stay close after handoff

We check in 30, 60, and 90 days after a placement. Closing the contract is not the same as closing the loop.

Leadership

Operators first, vendors second.

Practice Leads

A small group of senior practice leads across cloud, data, AI, and product engineering. They run our technical screens and partner on every consulting engagement.

Inside Tiya

A flat team that takes the work seriously, and itself less so.

Most of the team has shipped software for a living. That changes how we hire, how we manage, and how we say no to engagements that aren't a fit. We work in small pods, share P&L visibility across the team, and reinvest most profits into the people on the bench.
