- Industries: Staffing and Recruiting

## Direct-match strengths

Distributed engineering leadership, regulated healthcare technology, real-time voice systems, asynchronous workflows, AWS architecture, CI/CD, observability, security, reliability, integrations, and Product partnership.

## Hard or material gaps

Hard location/work-model conflict: regular and consistent in-person collaboration is required in a New York-metro/two-office environment, outside Keith's remote/Boston constraint. The unnamed client and exact office cadence also remain unclear.

## Evidence map

1. Distributed engineering teams — direct teams of 7, 11, 24, and 25.
2. Cloud architecture, CI/CD, observability, deployment automation, and operational reliability — direct.
3. Regulated healthcare and HIPAA technology — direct Lythos and broader health-technology evidence.
4. Real-time voice and asynchronous workflow systems — direct AssistX voice and workflow evidence; adjacent contact-center delivery.
5. Recruiting, hiring, organizational design, and headcount planning — direct.
6. Regular in-person collaboration in the posted metro environment — hard conflict.
