Why Procuros
Opportunity
The problem that we are tackling, is one of the largest unsolved issues out to still exist (frankly, it shouldn't even exist anymore). In an era of verticalized solutions, truly horizontal problem spaces are becoming rare. Whilst incredibly hard to solve, we are aiming to build a generational company that is redefining how trading companies interact with each other.
People
We are deeply convinced that one should over index on the people one surrounds oneself with, particularly at work. We are a diverse team of top-tier engineers & company builders that are obsessed about solving really hard issues and don't shy away from discomfort. Therefore, we are extremely selective when it comes to adding to the team. Read more in our hiring manifesto below.
Stage
If you excel in dynamic, oftentimes messy environments, this one is for you. We are young enough for 10x responsibilities, career progressions, and individual freedom, yet mature enough to have established organizational behaviors and best practices.
How We Operate
Faster Than Expected.
We are convinced that speed of execution trumps everything else.
Less but Better.
We focus on less things but go deep and beyond expectations.
Own It 110%.
We are responsible not only for our own successes & failures, but also for our customers.
Win as a Team.
We bring out the best in each other and always prioritize team wins over individual gains.
Why We Don't Hire Publicly (Anymore)
We have stopped hiring through conventional channels and don't post our open roles publicly. Instead, we're hiring primarily through our team's network and through external referrals. Here's why:
The Pursuit of Outliers
We believe that to find outlier talent, you need an outlier hiring approach.
The challenges we're tackling at Procuros demand depth & problem-solving abilities far beyond the conventional. Standard hiring processes are designed to find standard talent—we need extraordinary minds to solve what many consider an "impossible" problem.
The Public Hiring Paradox
Traditional hiring creates a lose-lose situation for everyone involved. Candidates wade through impersonal application systems. Teams spend countless hours filtering applications. Both sides participate in high-pressure interviews that rarely reveal true potential. Even after clearing these hurdles, the risk of misalignment remains substantial.
We've experienced this firsthand. The overhead is immense, the signal-to-noise ratio is poor, and despite best efforts, we've had to part ways with talented people who simply weren't the right fit for our specific challenges.
What Actually Works
Data doesn't lie. Our network hires have consistently outperformed those sourced through conventional channels. They integrate faster into our existing team dynamics. They understand our mission more intuitively. They require less onboarding yet deliver exceptional results sooner.
We've built an incredibly high-performing small team. Now, we're focused on building around that core—adding people with proven chemistry and track records of excellence within similar problem spaces.
A Conscious Trade-off
We recognize this approach means we might miss exceptional individuals who don't happen to be in our extended network. However, we've made a conscious decision to optimize for efficiency and team cohesion during this critical phase of our growth.
This isn't about being exclusive—it's about being intentional with our most precious resources: time and attention.
An Open Door for the Extraordinary
While we don't hire publicly, our door remains open for the truly exceptional who feel deeply aligned with our mission. If you consider yourself in the top 0.1% in terms of drive and ambition, are obsessed with solving "impossible" problems, and feel genuinely compelled by what we're building at Procuros, we want to hear from you. If that is the case, feel free to reach out to [email protected].
We don't disregard inclusivity—we're simply focused on building the most effective team possible to tackle the extraordinary challenges ahead of us.
