Hire C++ developers who manage memory like the correctness bug it actually is.
Performance-critical and systems-level software, engines, embedded firmware, real-time processing, and anything else where a garbage collector isn't an option. We screen for engineers who profile before they optimize and who treat undefined behavior as a bug class to design out, not debug later.
Low-level services and libraries where every allocation is intentional.
Firmware and control software with hard latency and memory constraints.
Core engine systems (rendering, physics, memory managers), not gameplay scripting.
Profiling-driven optimization of hot paths that actually move the numbers.
What strong C++ Developers know cold.

Answered before you ask.
Anything where a garbage collector's pause times or memory overhead are unacceptable: game and simulation engines, embedded firmware, real-time signal processing, and performance-critical libraries. For a typical web backend, we'd usually steer you toward Go or Node instead, we'll say so.
Live review of ownership and lifetime reasoning, not just algorithm trivia. We walk through real code and ask where a use-after-free or data race could hide, and how the candidate would catch it before it ships.
Yes. We start with a technical audit of the existing code and toolchain before committing to a scope, since embedded work often has hardware and vendor-SDK constraints that shape what's actually possible.
Both, but this role is specifically about engine-level work, rendering, physics, memory management. For gameplay logic on an existing engine like Unity, our Unity3D role is the more precise fit.
Every way out of this hire is already written down.
Not a fit? Replace anyone in the first two weeks. No questions asked, no replacement fee. We re-match from the same vetted pool.
You pay only for engineers who actually start. Seeing candidates costs nothing.
Dedicated and managed engagements run on a monthly rolling contract. Cancel with notice.
You see the number before you commit. Nothing is added on top of it later.
Bring us the systems problem. Three matched engineers in 48 hours.
Engine code, embedded firmware, or a performance-critical service. We'll scope it against a real profiling budget, not a guess.
We reply within an hour during our working day in India and the UAE.
