Join the Gradient Talent Network

The right opportunity doesn’t always arrive when you’re looking for it. 

Gradient Search works with companies building ambitious products across defense, aerospace, AI, robotics, autonomy, advanced manufacturing, and frontier technology.

We recruit for direct-hire opportunities ranging from individual critical hires to larger team buildouts. Some searches are public. Others begin with people already in our network.

If you’re open to hearing about the right opportunity, now or sometime down the road, join the Gradient Talent Network.

This isn't a specific job opening

You don’t need to be actively looking, and you don’t need to see a current role that matches your background.

Tell us a little about what you do, what you’ve worked on, and the kinds of opportunities you’d be interested in hearing about. We’ll use that information to identify potential matches as new searches come across our desk.

Areas we recruit across

Software Engineering
Backend, Full Stack, Platform, Distributed Systems, Infrastructure

What to expect

We review submissions as they come in and keep relevant profiles in the Gradient network.

If your background aligns with a current or future search, we may reach out to learn more about what you’re looking for and share details about the opportunity.

Joining the network does not mean your information will automatically be submitted to a company. We’ll speak with you first, and your resume or profile will only be shared with a client with your knowledge and approval.

You can be actively searching, casually exploring, or perfectly happy where you are. The point is simply to make sure we know where to find you when the right opportunity comes along.

Join the network

Share your background, areas of expertise, location preferences, and what you might be interested in hearing about.

Your information is kept private and used only for recruiting purposes.
