Boutique search · Platform, Infrastructure & AI
Platform, infrastructure, and AI/ML engineers for startups where the systems are the product. Recruited directly from the teams running this at scale, in a founder-led search with no handoffs.
Roles I fill
Internal platforms, golden paths, and the tooling that multiplies every other engineer.
The engineers who design, build, and run your compute, networking, and storage.
Training, serving, and data pipelines that turn models into product.
Applied engineers who ship AI features users actually touch.
Build systems, CI, and the workflows that keep shipping fast.
Reliability engineers for systems that can't go down.
Why these hires don't come from job posts
Infrastructure and AI engineers are the scarcest hires in the market, and the good ones are running production systems right now, not refreshing job boards. I recruit them where they are, with a specific role and a real reason to move.
Every search is run by me, Chasen Nick. Intake, sourcing, outreach, and offer, with no handoffs to junior recruiters.
I map who's doing this work at companies like yours and go to them directly, with your specific role.
I take on a few searches at a time so each one moves at the pace your hire actually needs.
Other practices
Tell me about the role. If I'm not the right fit for it, I'll tell you that too.
