Technical Search & Talent Architecture

Opsidian.co — Technical Search & Talent Architecture for High-Growth AI, Autonomous Systems, SaaS & Cloud. We combine domain fluency with structured search to land the talent generalist recruiters miss.

Specialized Expertise & Domain Fluency
  • We’ve engaged deeply with ML/AI platforms, autonomy stacks, simulation/digital-twin (Unity, QEMU), and cloud/SaaS infra.
  • Evaluate beyond keywords: e.g., founding engineer for digital-twin simulation; LLM/RAG/agent-centric engineer; cloud-native infra lead for SaaS/AI.
Niche Network + Hard-to-Reach Talent
  • Open-source contributors, simulation engineers, early-career data engineers with agentic-AI side projects.
  • Passive, high-value candidates in frontier verticals.
Strategic, Consultant-Style Recruiting
  • Talent maps, structured pipelines, outreach strategies.
  • Scoring rubrics, contextual snapshots, outreach templates.
  • Clean contract frameworks: master-contingency, W-9s, replacement guarantees.
Flexibility & Scalability
  • Contingency, retained, ad-hoc sprints, or ongoing recruiting-ops.
  • Acts as an extension of your internal team without fixed overhead.
Credibility in High-Demand Fields
  • AI/ML, agentic systems, autonomy & simulation, SaaS/Cloud.
  • Speak the tech, understand the product & roadmap context.
Example Roles
  • Founding/Staff ML Engineer (LLM/RAG/agents)
  • Autonomy & Simulation Engineer (Unity/QEMU, HIL/SIL)
  • Founding Engineer — Digital-Twin Simulation
  • Cloud-Native Infrastructure Lead (SaaS/AI)
  • Data Platform / MLOps / Platform Engineer
  • Security/Compliance for SaaS & AI platforms
Engagement Models
