Mahesh is part of Trust in SODA’s US team, specialising in Senior and Staff Product Engineering hires for agentic AI startups from Seed through to Series C, primarily across New York and San Francisco.

Before joining Trust in SODA, Mahesh recruited engineers across crypto and high-frequency trading infrastructure, giving him a strong technical grounding in complex, high-performance engineering environments. Today, he partners with ambitious AI businesses to find builders who can take products from 0-to-1, own features end to end, and thrive in fast-moving, ambiguous environments.

Mahesh takes a people-first approach to recruitment, built around trust, transparency, and long-term relationships with both clients and candidates.
