Tech recruitment, United States.

How we operate in the US

Sydney delivery, US network.

Re:Sourced is headquartered in Sydney. We do not run a US-domestic generalist search desk. Our US value comes from two angles: deep specialism (AI engineering, forward deployed, founding engineer profiles where most US generalist firms don't have the depth) and cross-border (US-headquartered teams hiring senior Australian talent for remote or relocation, where we are the natural primary partner).

For straightforward senior software hires inside the US, a US-based generalist firm is usually a better fit. For hard-to-fill specialist briefs and cross-border searches, Sydney delivery aligns naturally to early-morning US Pacific time, which is when most candidate calls happen.

US salary bands 2026

What you should pay senior engineers in the US.

Bands below are blended across major US tech markets (NYC, SF Bay Area, Seattle, Boston, Austin). SF and NYC trend toward the top of band; Austin and Boston toward the middle. Base only; equity at Series C and later commonly takes total comp 50-100% above base. Frontier AI scale-ups exceed these bands, sometimes meaningfully.

Where Re:Sourced adds value

When to partner with us.

• Hard-to-find AI engineering profiles where generalist firms don't have the network depth
• Founding engineer searches for early-stage US scale-ups
• Forward deployed engineering, especially for AI-native enterprise SaaS
• US-headquartered teams hiring senior Australian engineers (remote, relocation, or AU-as-secondary office)
• Senior engineering leadership where the brief intersects AU and US delivery
