Architect-led technical staffing
Recruiting is led by a production software architect with recruiting experience since 2011. We review the résumé and relevant delivered work, then assess engineering judgment, role depth and domain fit before recommending a profile to your team.
A clear view of strengths, limitations and fit—before you invest in a client interview.
Staffing delivery
“UTIS hit it out of the park…”
Candidate quality
“Timely, need-based, and cost-effective solutions. … High quality candidates.”
01 / Engineering assessment
We look at decisions and responsibilities in context. These are questions the software architect and relevant specialists explore, adapted to the actual role.
We explore urgency, impact, safe recovery and communication. A useful engineer can explain what they owned, how they escalated and what changed after the incident.
An interview question
A critical pipeline misses its delivery window. What do you establish, communicate and act on first?
We look for thoughtful questions, explicit assumptions and a testable problem statement. The candidate should distinguish the business outcome from an early solution idea.
An interview question
Stakeholders ask for a dashboard but disagree on the metric. How do you establish what should be built?
We ask candidates to explain system boundaries, dependencies, trade-offs and failure modes in language the team can use to make a decision.
An interview question
Which decision would you document first, and what new information might change your approach?
We assess how the engineer works with data owners, security, business teams and platform teams. Access and governance decisions need a clear owner and an agreed path.
An interview question
Two departments own data your solution needs. How do you move the work forward while approvals are unresolved?
We review source control, peer review, testing, deployment and rollback thinking. Candidates should connect DevOps practices to the way a real environment is operated.
An interview question
How would you make a change recoverable and show the team that it is safe to release?
We test how the engineer thinks about scale, data movement, query behavior, cost and observability. Performance should inform design and be checked against a baseline.
An interview question
What would you measure before choosing a larger cluster or rewriting a slow data job?
We look for practical agile judgment: small useful increments, visible dependencies, clear priorities and honest communication when a requirement changes.
An interview question
An urgent request arrives mid-sprint. How do you handle it without silently dropping another commitment?
02 / From requirement to start
Your team remains responsible for its selection decision. Our job is to bring a useful assessment and make the next steps clear.
Agree the outcome, seniority, technical environment, budget, working location, overlap hours and client interview process.
What this establishesA role brief grounded in the assignment.
A production software architect reviews the résumé and relevant delivered work, exploring ownership, problem framing and how the person explains decisions.
What this establishesAn initial view of evidence and role fit.
Candidates who proceed take relevant specialist technical and domain interviews. We form a candid recommendation before any résumé is submitted to the client.
What this establishesStrengths, limitations and questions worth testing.
Support your interviews and selection. Coordinate the agreed employment or engagement terms, approvals, access and initial responsibilities.
What this establishesA documented onboarding and follow-through plan.
03 / What you receive
A résumé describes experience. The recommendation connects that experience to the work you need done and makes uncertainty visible.
We explain where the fit is strong, where support or a narrower scope may be needed, and which questions deserve your team’s attention.
Role-specific depth
The technology discussion sits alongside production judgment. We adapt it to the responsibilities, dependencies and seniority of the assignment.
SQL Server, SSIS, Databricks, Snowflake and Power BI—assessed against the pipelines, models and reporting the role will own.
Explore the data practiceAzure, infrastructure, deployment and AI application work—with attention to access, validation, monitoring and operational handover.
Explore cloud & DevOpsPower Platform and integration roles—assessed for requirements, permissions, releases and the people who use the application.
Explore application engineeringUse the business rules, users and operating constraints relevant to your team.
Manufacturing data, production dependencies and engineering users.
Changing sources, business rules and reporting confidence.
Operational data, analytics definitions and source checks.
Data operations, source changes and reporting continuity.
Customer applications, permissions and system integration.
04 / Delivery locations
Choose US onshore, Brazil nearshore or India offshore support, or combine them around the work your team needs. We agree the staffing mix, budget, overlap hours, coverage expectations and access requirements for each assignment.
Local collaboration
US-based engineers for close collaboration with your stakeholders. Discuss remote, hybrid or on-site work around the assignment, local access requirements and your budget.
Working-day overlap
Brazil-based engineers for working-day overlap with US teams. Balance collaboration and budget around the role, and agree meeting hours, location and availability before the start.
Planned handovers
India-based engineers with planned overlap and documented handovers. Shape the staffing mix around your budget, with agreed review windows, access controls and escalation responsibilities.
Urgent requirements
We can coordinate an urgent onboarding plan around the checks and decisions that matter. Timing depends on availability, employment or engagement terms, required approvals, work authorization and access.
Confirm the role, decision makers and essential start dependencies.
Assign owners for contracts, required checks, work authorization and access approvals.
Agree the first work item, environment access, communication cadence and escalation route.
Review the early assignment and address gaps while they are still small.
From staffing to consulting
Many UTIS consulting engagements began with staffing. An embedded engineer may be the right starting point. If the need expands into a defined project or ongoing support, we can help scope responsibilities, deliverables, validation and handover.

Before we begin
Understand the assessment, employment path and responsibilities before deciding on the next step.
A production software architect starts with the résumé and relevant delivered work. Candidates who proceed take specialist technical and domain interviews relevant to the assignment. We form a recommendation that explains fit, evidence, limitations and open questions before sharing a résumé for your selection process.
Technology depth matters, but it is one part of the assessment. We also examine production ownership, problem framing, architecture, communication, governance and release discipline in situations relevant to the role.
We discuss your team’s ceremonies, decision rights, release controls and ways of working before recommending the assignment. The assessment looks for practical collaboration and delivery judgment; it does not assume that a process label or certification establishes fit.
Yes. We can organize the readiness checklist, owners and communications around an urgent requirement. The actual start depends on candidate availability, employment or engagement terms, required approvals, work authorization and access. We make those dependencies visible early.
Yes. If the need extends beyond an individual role, UTIS can help define a scoped project or an ongoing support engagement. We agree the responsibilities, deliverables and commercial terms for that work separately.
Use the Careers page to share your résumé and areas of technical interest. We discuss fit for an actual role, including the work, working arrangements and relevant eligibility requirements.
