TrustIn

TrustIn is a specialist executive search firm focused exclusively on recruiting software infrastructure engineers for startups and scale-ups globally. The company operates on a retained search model, providing deep technical expertise and personalised service to both companies and candidates. Every search is run personally by the founder, Marcus, who responds to enquiries within 24 hours and manages placements through to successful onboarding, with an average tenure of 4+ years.

TrustIn specialises in recruiting across multiple infrastructure disciplines including Site Reliability Engineers (SREs) and reliability engineers who maintain systems at scale, Platform Engineers who build internal developer platforms and tooling, AI and ML Infrastructure specialists focusing on GPU scheduling and MLOps, Systems Architects designing large-scale distributed systems, DevOps and Cloud Engineers managing CI/CD pipelines and infrastructure-as-code, and Database and Storage specialists across relational and NoSQL systems. The firm distinguishes itself through deep technical screening of every candidate and immersion in each client's stack and culture before approaching talent.

TrustIn operates across three core markets: San Francisco Bay Area and Silicon Valley, where the company maintains deep relationships from early-stage AI labs to pre-IPO scale-ups; New York City and the Tri-State region, serving fintech, media, and AI companies requiring world-class SRE and platform talent; and London, where the founder has spent decades building genuine relationships within the infrastructure engineering community. The company's competitive advantage lies in accessing hidden market talent through decades-long networks rather than job boards, combined with rigorous technical vetting and personalised candidate preparation based on direct knowledge of hiring teams and interview formats.
