Three signals a senior engineer is actually senior
Years of experience lie. Here's what we look at instead during technical screens.
Tiya Traders LLC places vetted engineers inside growing US companies, and partners with leadership teams on the harder technical decisions. Headquartered in Dallas, working across time zones.
Pre-screened engineers, architects and product specialists, embedded with your team on contract, contract-to-hire, or full-time.
Explore staffingArchitecture reviews, cloud migrations, data modernization, and AI integration. Practical guidance from people who still write code.
Explore consultingWhen you need an outcome rather than a résumé, we assemble the squad, set the roadmap, and own delivery end-to-end.
Start a projectNo keyword matching, no résumé spam. Every consultant we place is vetted technically by a senior engineer and on communication by a delivery lead, then matched to your stack rather than your job posting.
Every engagement is anchored to a delivery goal: a release date, a system metric, a customer outcome. Not a billable seat.
Straight answers, weekly demos, and a single point of contact. No padded status decks.
Add three engineers next sprint, wind down by Q3. Our model bends to your roadmap.
Our bench skews mid-to-senior. You won't pay senior rates for someone learning your framework on the job.
Most roles get a vetted shortlist within 72 hours. Consulting engagements start within a week.
We'd rather lose a quarter of revenue than place the wrong person. Trust compounds.
A 30-minute call to understand the role, stack, team culture, and timeline. No questionnaires.
Three to five vetted candidates with honest write-ups on strengths, gaps, and rate within 72 hours.
We handle paperwork, equipment, and day-one setup so your hire is productive in week one.
Bi-weekly delivery check-ins and quarterly retros. We adjust the bench as your roadmap shifts.
Tiya placed a senior platform engineer in five days, after we'd been searching for two months on our own. He was contributing to production by week two.
Their team challenged assumptions about our cloud spend and cut our AWS bill by roughly a third, with no slowdown for the engineering team.
What stood out was the candor: they pushed back when we asked for the wrong role. That changed it from a vendor relationship into a partnership.
