Why ScaleTech Is Different
A niche partner for Massachusetts HealthTech and life-sciences leaders who need senior AI talent that actually ships, on a try-before-you-hire model.
Proven AI Builders
You only meet senior AI/ML, MLOps and data engineers with a track record of shipping production-grade systems in healthcare.
Minimal Risk
Not only do we have a free replacement guarantee, we offer an optional 'Try-Before-You-Hire' service so you can test engineers on live projects before you make a permanent offer.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the try-before-you-hire model?
Try-Before-You-Hire is our contract-to-hire model for senior AI/ML, MLOps and data engineers. Deploy them on your live projects first, see them ship in your real PHI environment, then make permanent offers only after they've proven they can deliver.
What makes ScaleTech different from other staffing firms?
Scott specialises in Massachusetts HealthTech and focuses solely on senior AI/ML, MLOps, data and AI-capable full-stack engineers. He spends every day speaking to these candidates and the leaders who hire them, so he knows who is genuinely proven in production healthcare environments.
How quickly can you introduce candidates?
For most roles, expect your first pre-vetted candidate within 48 hours. Scott maintains a curated network of senior AI and data engineers who already ship in HealthTech and life-sciences environments?
What if a hire doesn't work out?
That's why we offer two options: Try-Before-You-Buy lets you test on contract before committing. For permanent hires, we offer a 3-month free replacement guarantee. Either way, you're protected from day one.
What roles do you specialise in?
Senior AI/ML Engineers, Senior MLOps/AI Platform Engineers, Healthcare Data Engineers, and AI-Capable Senior Full-Stack Engineers. All with experience shipping production systems in healthcare environments with PHI.
Do you work outside of MA?
Scott's primary niche is Massachusetts HealthTech and life-sciences for AI roles. For general engineering roles (full-stack, React, JavaScript), we can work US-wide on a project basis where his network fits.
Who do you typically work with?
CTOs, VPs of Engineering, Heads of AI/ML, Heads of Data, CDOs, and CIOs at Massachusetts HealthTech and life-sciences companies whose AI roadmaps are blocked by missing senior talent.
