Red Popcorn: Transforming Potential Into Results
Contract, contract-to-hire and permanent staffing for fintech and cloud-native teams. Built by operators who spent a decade inside companies like FIS — so we know exactly what "production-ready" means in your stack.
Inside our world
A glimpse of the teams, technology and people that power Red Popcorn placements.
Fintech engineering teams
Payments, trading and banking specialists who ship in production.
Cloud & GCP infrastructure
Certified architects and SREs for resilient, scalable platforms.
Curated, human-vetted talent
Every candidate screened by engineers, never just keyword-matched.
Squads that ship from day one
Engineers onboarded fast, integrated into your workflow.
Three ways we staff your team.
From a single specialist to a full delivery squad — engagements built around your timeline, not ours.
Contract Staffing
On-demand specialists for project bursts, migrations and surge capacity. Scaled to your sprint.
- Onboarded in days, not weeks
- Day-rate or fixed-term
- W2, 1099, Corp-to-Corp
Contract-to-Hire
Try before you commit. A working trial that de-risks the permanent offer and validates fit in production.
- 3–6 month evaluation window
- Standard conversion fee
- Dramatically reduced hiring risk
Permanent Staffing
Retained search for senior engineers, architects and engineering leaders. A focused process, not a resume spray.
- Executive & technical search
- 90-day replacement guarantee
- Transparent flat fee
Deep specialization beats generalist agencies.
Our network lives in the same stack your team does. We don't post-and-pray — we tap engineers already working in your domain.
Fintech Engineering
Payments, trading systems, banking APIs and core ledger platforms. Engineers who understand regulation, latency, and PCI — not just the language.
Cloud & GCP
Certified GCP architects, SREs, and DevOps engineers to design, migrate and run resilient infrastructure — including FDE specialists for AI-driven deployments.
We do one thing well.
Matching exceptional engineers with companies that need them yesterday — backed by a founder who's been on both sides of the table.
