CEO @ Folks.Rocks

About

I specialize in mapping trading-specific problems to engineers who not only can solve them, but want to. • I find engineers who understand ultra-low latency, distributed systems, and decentralized architecture • I work only with teams that see hiring as a serious investment, not a routine task • I help position the real technical challenge - not sell remote work or free snacks • I run my own reference checks by contacting former colleagues - not just the names candidates give me • I handle pre-closing rounds to avoid last-minute surprises on salary, timing, or commitment Valencia, Spain artem@folks.rocks
