We don't hire often. When we do, it matters.

Made In Tandem is intentionally small, and every hire changes the firm. We're building a team of senior people who own their work, not a department of interchangeable engineers. Two roles, one standard: senior, accountable, and still hands-on. Find the one that fits how you want to work.

Two ways to do senior work here.

Everyone at MiT is senior, and everyone ships. Nobody just manages. The difference between our two roles is what you own. A Conductor owns the architecture, the client relationship, and the outcome, end-to-end. A Senior Engineer owns the craft of the build, working alongside Conductors and AI agents. Pick the one that matches how you want to spend your day.

Conductor

A senior engineer-architect-PM hybrid who owns engagements end-to-end. You run the room and ship the work.

Senior Engineer

A senior engineer who owns the craft of the implementation, alongside Conductors and AI agents. You build the hard parts and judge what's ready.

Built for people who do their best work when they're trusted and supported.

We don't do ping-pong-table culture. We do the unglamorous stuff that lets senior people build real careers and real lives.

No algorithms. No trick questions. No AI screening. 100% human, start to finish.

We're an AI-integrated consulting firm. We use AI every day to build software. But we don't use any AI in our hiring process. No automated resume screening. No AI-scored video interviews. No chatbot gatekeepers. Every application is read by a person. Every conversation is with a person. Every decision is made by people who'll actually work alongside you.

The whole process takes two to three weeks, not two to three months. Four steps, each designed to be genuinely useful for both sides.

01

Architecture discussion

We'll talk through a real-world system design problem. Not to test whether you memorize CAP theorem, but to see how you think through trade-offs and communicate decisions.

02

Client scenario role-play

A role-appropriate client scenario. For a Conductor, that might be: "A $200M manufacturer wants to use AI. Walk us through your first three meetings." For a Senior Engineer, something closer to the build. We're looking for how you handle ambiguity and communicate your thinking, not whether you land a 'right' answer.

03

Behavioral conversation

Tell us about consequential decisions you've made under incomplete information. Not hypotheticals. Real ones.

04

Paid working session (2-4 hours)

A realistic problem, worked together. This is the highest-signal step. Both sides get to evaluate fit in a low-stakes environment. We pay you for your time because, well, we should.

Build stuff. Be kind.

That's the whole culture statement. Everyone at MiT delivers client work, from the CEO down. Nobody just manages. Nobody just sells. Think jazz quartet, not symphony orchestra: a small group of exceptional musicians who play off each other, where everyone solos and everyone accompanies.

Kindness and directness aren't opposites; they're complements. Someone missing delivery dates gets direct feedback, quickly. A client who's scope-creeping gets a frank conversation about trade-offs. But it's always done with genuine care for the human on the other side.

We've spent 15 years building a reputation for trust, and that trust compounds.

How we stay connected as a remote team

Remote-first doesn't mean remote-only. We're intentional about the connective tissue that makes a small team feel like a team.

Regular in-person offsites focused on relationships, not presentations Weekly retrospectives where we talk about what's actually working and what isn't Monthly shared learning sessions where Conductors teach each other Financial openness so everyone sees how the firm is doing Protected deep-work time, firm-wide, so async communication is the default Slack channels for the non-work stuff: music, cooking, parenting, and whatever

Not sure which role fits? Let's talk anyway.
