India-Based Startup Tech Recruiter | Backend, Data & Platform Roles

I help US and EU startups build their India engineering teams as a single-handed, India-based startup tech recruiter, owning hiring end-to-end. Founders and lean teams work with me when they need clean shortlists, fast closures, and honest screening, without building a large in-house recruiting function. I primarily work as an engineering recruiter hiring backend, platform, data, and DevOps engineers for Seed to Series B startups, and also support selective US and EU hiring.
