About

Most FinTech founders I talk to have the same story. 5 months searching. 150 applicants. Nobody who has actually shipped a payment system before. They know the stack. Nobody understands idempotency. Nobody has built transaction reconciliation in production. Nobody knows what a failed settlement looks like at 3am. That gap exists because the engineers who have built those systems are not on job boards. They are already inside high-stakes roles, heads down, not looking. I spent 8 years inside technical recruiting focused exclusively on fintech and enterprise backend engineering. That entire time was spent building one thing: a network of engineers who never apply anywhere. Those are the people I place at InvoHire. If you are a FinTech or SaaS founder who has spent months interviewing engineers who look right on paper but have never shipped the real thing — that is exactly the problem I work on.
