About roles.cc
A recruiting agency, built like a product.
Roles.cc connects software engineers, new grad to staff, with venture-backed startups in San Francisco and New York. We built it because the old model serves the recruiter, not the engineer or the founder it’s supposed to help.

Operator
Built by someone who’s sat on both sides.
Roles.cc is built and operated by a senior engineering lead who has both run hiring panels and sat on the other side of the table as a candidate. That perspective shapes everything here: the way we score CVs, the way we calibrate slates, the way we write to founders, the way we hold engineer identity until terms are in place.
If you want to talk to the person who built the system, hello@roles.cc routes directly.
How we operate
Four commitments that don’t bend.
Commitment 1
Identity-protected by default
An engineer's name doesn't reach a founder until standard engagement terms are signed. We enforce this at the database layer, not by policy. It can't break by accident.
Commitment 2
Opted in, not scraped
Every engineer in our pool has chosen to be there. We don't import contact lists or surface profiles from public sources without permission.
Commitment 3
Honest calibration
Our scoring is calibrated to the real hiring bar at top venture-backed startups, level by level. We tell founders when a candidate is a real fit, and we tell engineers when a role isn't.
Commitment 4
Ninety-day guarantee
Every placement carries a ninety-day replacement guarantee, and we walk through the exact fee terms on the intake call.
How we make money
Companies pay us. Engineers never do.
- Placement fees. Paid by the hiring company when an engineer signs an offer, never by the engineer. The exact terms are walked through on the intake call and signed before any introduction is made.
- Intake slates. A fast calibrated slate to start the engagement. Nothing up front.
Want to work with us?
Founders: start with the intake slate. Engineers: drop your CV in the pool.
