Hire talent

Roles we staff, and the screen behind each one

Conntal publishes a role page only where a practitioner at Ace8, AceMQ or Duczer East can vet it. Each page carries the production scenario we put to candidates, the technologies we screen on, and the engineer who owns the rubric.

Conntal places senior DevOps engineers who have run production platforms, not just pipelines. Every candidate is screened by a practitioner at Ace8 or AceMQ on a real incident scenario before you see them. Available contract, contract-to-hire or direct placement, onshore, nearshore or offshore.

Data engineers

170/mo · CPC $82

Conntal places senior data engineers for platform work, not dashboard work: Cloudera CDP estates, Databricks and Snowflake builds, and streaming pipelines on Kafka. Candidates are screened by a Duczer East or AceMQ practitioner on a real migration or lineage problem before you see a CV.

A site reliability engineer keeps production trustworthy: error budgets, on-call, capacity, and the incident response that follows when those fail. Conntal places senior SREs screened on real incidents by Ace8 and AceMQ practitioners who carry a 15-minute response commitment on enterprise platforms themselves.

Conntal places ServiceNow developers for IT Operations Management work: Discovery, Service Mapping, Event Management and CMDB health. Candidates are screened by Duczer East practitioners who remediate enterprise CMDBs. This is our stated scope — we do not claim an ITSM or app-development bench we have not built.

Scoped bench — see the page for what we do and do not staff.

Conntal places enterprise architects who have carried a decision through delivery rather than stopping at the diagram. Candidates are screened by Ace8 practitioners on a real estate decision with real constraints — cost, residency, existing debt — and on whether they can say no to their own preferred architecture.

Not yet listed

MuleSoft developers this role is in the parent practices’ capability list, but no named vetting practitioner is confirmed yet. Rather than publish a page implying a bench we have not built, we will tell you the honest position if you ask.

Also vetted

Technologies, not just titles.

The messaging and streaming bench is where Conntal is deepest, and it spans every role above. The technology page carries the product-level detail: what senior looks like on each platform and what we screen on.

Engagement

Every role, three ways.

Contract

A vetted engineer embedded in your team for a defined term.

Hourly, billed against an approved SOW. Most common for migrations, upgrades and capacity surges where the work has an end date.

Contract-to-hire

Work together first, convert when it is obviously working.

A defined conversion window and a pre-agreed fee, so the decision to hire is a business decision rather than a negotiation.

Direct placement

A permanent hire, screened to the same standard.

One-time fee against first-year base. Used where the role is a long-term platform owner rather than project capacity.

Tell us the role. A practitioner scopes it, not a recruiter.

Send the requirement — or the job description you are not happy with — and an engineer who runs this technology will tell you what is missing before we source anyone.
