Hiring a platform engineer
A Series B fintech needs a senior platform engineer to own its payments infrastructure. The brief is shared with specialists who have already confirmed interest and availability; the hiring manager interviews directly.
XpertDirect connects operators with verified, on-the-record specialists. No layered agencies, no inflated take-rates. Just direct, audited matching.
Two axes define the market. One quadrant solves it: instant matching, paid directly to the specialist, with a 5% platform fee.
From brief to first conversation in under a working day.
Upload a job description, work package or project brief — or build one with AI.
Verified specialists with transparent rate cards — the day-rate or salary each specialist quotes in their XpertDirect profile. First interest-validated specialists in under 12 hours.
No middle layer. You message the specialist directly and take the conversation from there.
You negotiate and agree scope, rates, and start date directly with the specialist. Pay them directly — we charge a flat 5% platform fee.
Two surfaces, one workflow. Xpert AI structures the brief; the matching dashboard ranks specialists who have already confirmed interest.
You mentioned ~40 hires across Q2–Q3. Should the specialist also own the renewal cycle for existing rulings, or only new applications?
Every number below is audited, timestamped, and methodology-linked. Click through to see how it's measured.
Industry take-rates run 20-30%. Ours is a flat 5%, paid on top of the specialist's rate — never carved out of it.
