Vetta Search places high-autonomy backend engineers from Brazil into remote-first startups — without wasting your calendar or your runway.
We don't just screen for stack and years of experience. We evaluate how engineers diagnose production failures, navigate technical trade-offs, make decisions under uncertainty, own outcomes, and adapt when the evidence changes.
Experienced backend engineers selected for demanding remote environments, with the autonomy and communication needed to operate effectively in distributed teams.
We work async-first. You get carefully selected candidates, structured evaluation, and clear updates without adding unnecessary meetings to your calendar.
Tell us what you're building and what kind of engineer you need. Async, 15 minutes max.
We find candidates for your opportunity and evaluate Senior Technical Judgment, production ownership, failure diagnosis, technical trade-offs, role fit, and English communication. Selected evidence is pressure-tested through a targeted live validation interview focused on production reasoning, ownership, and decision evidence.
We introduce up to 3 candidates we're prepared to put our name behind, with our assessment of their judgment, seniority evidence, role fit, strengths, concerns, and remaining validation points.
Vetta complements — not replaces — your engineering interview. We pressure-test senior judgment before candidates enter your stack-specific technical loop.
If a Vetta hire doesn't work out within the first 90 days, we'll run the replacement search at no additional placement fee
