We are founder-led and operator-run. As we scale, these leadership seats open — filled by senior operators who still do the work. We name people on the proposal and the kickoff call, never as decoration on a website.
We hire rarely, and only senior. We promote and partner from the inside first, then post here. We never use third-party recruiters — every reply comes from a principal, in the same window as our scoping calls.
One role is open with a detailed posting, terms, and an application path. Read it in full before reaching out.
Equity + contingent · fractional · remote, US-based
DSE's first dedicated legal and commercial partner — a founding-counsel engagement covering commercial contracting and deal velocity, corporate and regulatory governance, and protection of DSE's authored IP. Independent contractor; equity grant plus a contingent origination fee, with no fixed cash salary or retainer.
These leadership seats open as we scale — filled only by senior operators who still ship, never figureheads. No detail page yet; introduce yourself by email and a principal replies.
OPEN · ARCHITECTURE · DELIVERY · OSS
Owns technical direction across engagements — architecture, delivery standards, and the open-source we maintain. For a senior engineer-leader who still reviews code.
OPEN · DELIVERY · PROCUREMENT · CONTRACTS
Runs the firm so practitioners can run engagements — delivery operations, procurement, MSAs, and the reason a fixed-fee quote shows up in 48 hours.
OPEN · FINANCE · PRICING · CONTROLS
Financial strategy, engagement pricing, and controls for a services firm scaling across commercial and federal work.
OPEN · AI SECURITY · NIST AI RMF · CLEARED
Leads security posture and AI governance — red-team, NIST AI RMF, EU AI Act fluency, and cleared-eligible federal work.
No personal names appear on this page by design — we name the people on the proposal and the kickoff call. Every application goes to one address: hiring@thedataexperts.us. We do not use third-party recruiters.
