We are intentionally small — not currently hiring full-time.
Shards is built around a small team by intention. We are not running open roles right now and we are not building a hiring funnel for the sake of growth optics.
That said — if you are a senior engineer with a security or compliance background, or a NIS2-fluent practitioner who would consider working with us in some shape eventually, we are happy to keep details on file for the conversation that might arise later.
No formal application process. A short note about who you are and what kind of work you would want to do is enough.
Small team, sustainable cadence, customers we can know.
The model is small team plus productized engagements plus a hard cap on simultaneous Qualified Manager retainers. Headcount is not the lever. The lever is depth of attention per customer.
That shapes who we would eventually work with: people who have done the practitioner work themselves, who are comfortable in a small team, and who are not optimising for the largest possible org chart on their CV.
Different conversations live elsewhere.
