Build Your
Engineering Role Brief

Most engineering searches go wrong before they start. The role is fuzzy, success is undefined, and the first interview quietly becomes the planning meeting.

This tool walks you through the questions I work through with every founder before a search begins, then turns your answers into a structured Role Brief. It also tells you, honestly, where this hire is going to be hard.

15 focused questions
Takes about 10 minutes
A shareable PDF brief at the end

Built by Arjun Gillard, who partners with engineering leaders at companies like Light, Dentally, Ivoflow and Track24. This is the framework behind every brief I take on.

A brief is the starting point. The market decides the rest.

The next question is what is actually out there. I map the real talent pool for roles like this every week: who exists, what they earn, and what it takes to move them. A 20 minute call will tell you whether this search is straightforward or about to get expensive.
