the roles
Core engineering roles. Three levels.
We specialize in placing the engineers who build your core product and the engineers who integrate it into your customer's environment. We place Software Engineers, Backend Engineers, Full Stack Engineers, and Forward Deployed Engineers across three distinct levels:
Mid
Engineers who can own a feature or customer integration from the first call to production deployment, and know exactly when to escalate.
Senior
Autonomous engineers who own both the technical outcome and the architecture, capable of leading complex deployments and mentoring the next hire.
process
Built by engineers, for engineering leaders.

01
Write the brief
We sit down with the hiring manager to map the exact stack, integration challenges, and engineering problems the candidate will face.
-
02
Find & Assess
We find candidates and require them to pass technical assessments based on real engineering work. Candidates must prove they can actually build and ship before we forward them to your company for an interview.

what people say
Hiring managers in their words.
Sandbox Search is the only agency we trust to touch our pipeline. Because they run real-world technical assessments before ever sending a profile, every candidate we interviewed was already calibrated to our backend architecture. They gave me back 15 hours a week in wasted interview time.
Sandbox Search’s real-world assessments filter out engineers who only know how to pass coding interviews. They delivered candidates ready to scale our core infrastructure in Bengaluru from day one.
Most agencies don't understand that Forward Deployed Engineers require both deep backend expertise and customer empathy. Sandbox Search delivered vetted engineers who could write production code and confidently lead enterprise architecture discussions.
