Why nominations?

Stacked Operators is a private, invite-only network. We rely on trusted operators to identify other exceptional engineers and operators. A nomination is not just a referral. It's a signal of excellence. Only a small percentage of nominees are accepted.

How It Works

Step 1 — Submit a Nomination

Use the nomination form to share who they are and why they're exceptional.

Step 2 — Immediate Redirect to Paraform

After submitting, you'll be sent directly to our Paraform referral page. This ensures your $5,000 Paraform reward is tracked automatically if the nominee is hired.

Step 3 — We Review the Nominee

We evaluate every nominee based on impact, ownership, craft, and peer reputation. If they meet the bar, we'll invite them into the network.

What we look for

Ownership

People who run toward hard problems and deliver.

Execution

A track record of shipping under pressure with measurable outcomes.

Craft

Technical depth or operational excellence demonstrated through real artifacts.

Peer Signal

Would you choose to work with them again? That's the bar.

Earn $5,000 for a successful referral

All nominations are tied to your Paraform referral. If your nominee is placed through Paraform, you automatically receive a $5,000 reward. No extra steps, no additional forms.

Not all nominees are accepted

To maintain the integrity of the network, we review each nomination carefully. Most nominees will not be admitted. This ensures Stacked Operators remains a high-signal, invite-only collective.
