The system was built to underpay you.

Companies use expensive compensation intelligence tools to anchor offers at the lowest defensible number. The average engineer negotiates alone, with incomplete data, against a team of professionals whose job is to close you for less.

The imbalance is real

HR teams have real-time salary data, budget floors, and negotiation training. You have a job posting and a gut feeling. That's not a fair fight.

We level the field

We give you the same market intelligence companies use, and then we step into the negotiation on your behalf. You stay focused on the technical work. We handle the money.

Free for the engineer

Our services cost you nothing. We charge the company a placement fee when the hire closes. Your interests and ours are completely aligned.

What it feels like to have an agent.

Most engineers go through a job search feeling isolated, reading between the lines, guessing at timelines, and dreading the salary conversation. Representation changes that entirely.

The old way
  • "Is this offer actually fair?" You guess. You browse Blind and Levels.fyi at 2am.
  • "Applied to 40 roles. Nothing." Your resume sits in an ATS behind 600 other applicants.
  • "They said the budget is fixed." You accept because pushing back feels risky. You leave money behind.
With Leon
  • You know the real ceiling. Comp data from 400+ placements. Base, equity, bonus — all of it.
  • You get pitched directly to VP Eng. No applications. No ATS. A personal introduction before the role goes public.
  • We negotiate. You stay likable. We push for the max, then review the contract so you keep what's yours.

What represented engineers say.

Real feedback from staff and principal engineers placed at top-tier startups.

"HR tried to lock me down on base salary because of my previous role’s title. Leon’s team stepped in, introduced competitor data points, and secured a package 40% higher than their initial verbal offer."

Staff Distributed Systems Engineer Placed at Infrastructure Startup

"I wanted to leave my role quietly. Leon coordinated intros with select VPs of Engineering without putting my resume in any database. The transition was smooth, fast, and completely private."

Director of Engineering Anonymous Placement

"Three companies I had never applied to directly reached out to me within a week. I ended up with two competing offers and negotiated my base up by $35k. I didn’t even know that was possible."
