Become known by the experienced women engineers you want to hire.
She Bytes Back is a community where experienced women engineers learn, build, connect and grow alongside each other.
We partner with tech companies to create the technical experiences, career conversations and spaces our community actually wants to be part of and become known by the experienced women engineers you want to hire. From hands-on build sessions and technical talks to curated dinners, career development and longer-term partnerships, your company becomes known through what you contribute to the community.
We’ve worked with
A community built for women engineers
Our community of engineers want spaces where they can learn something useful, meet people at a similar level, talk honestly about what's changing in engineering, and leave with ideas they can take back to work.
That's what we're building. Our flagship experiences are technical, heavily curated, and designed around the things experienced engineers actually care about.
88% have 5+ years' experience
7.4 years average industry experience
80–100 experienced women engineers at a typical flagship event
Recent attendees have joined us from:

Why companies partner with She Bytes Back
The best engineers have options and they're looking at more than the role itself. They care about the people they'll work with, the problems they'll solve, how they'll grow, company culture, and what engineering actually feels like inside a company.
Those things are difficult to communicate through a job description so we give companies a way to show them.
By contributing genuinely useful experiences to the community, your engineers, technical leaders and culture become part of the conversations our audience already wants to have. All of that builds familiarity. Familiarity builds trust. And trust changes who someone thinks of when they're ready for their next move.
We help you build that familiarity and we measure it, tracking the shift from "never heard of you" to "I'd consider working there," so you have something real to take back to your team.
Ways to partner
-
Technical Experiences
Show them how your engineering team thinks and builds.
From the She Bytes Back AI Series to hands-on Build Sessions, workshops and technical roundtables.
-
Curated Experiences
Build deeper relationships with the engineers you want to know.
Smaller, carefully curated dinners, roundtables and conversations for specific engineering audiences.
-
Strategic Partnerships
Build recognition over time.
Combine technical experiences, curated gatherings, career development, content and community engagement into a longer-term partnership.
“It was incredible to go to a women in tech event that was actually technical.”
Our community doesn't come to She Bytes Back because a company is hiring. They come because the experience is worth showing up for.
That's exactly why the partnerships work.
What this looks like in practice
Different companies come to She Bytes Back with different challenges.
Some want to become known by an engineering audience that hasn't considered them before. Others want to build credibility with more senior engineers, showcase the technical work happening inside their company or create deeper relationships with the people they want to hire.
Here's what that has looked like so far:
Introducing Synthesia to an audience that didn't already know them
We partnered with Synthesia to bring the She Bytes Back AI Series into their London office, creating a technical experience around how engineers were actually using AI at work.
For many of the engineers who applied, it was also their first meaningful introduction to Synthesia.
→ 336 applications for 119 approved spots (34% approval rate)
→ 74% had 5+ years experience, average 6.5 years across the room
→ 76% had never heard of or knew very little about Synthesia before the event
→ 71% open to a new role
→ Companies in the room included Google, Microsoft, Spotify, PolyAI, Bloomberg, Cloudflare, and Snyk
Attendees included engineers from Google, Microsoft, Spotify, PolyAI, Bloomberg, Cloudflare and Snyk.
For Synthesia, the opportunity was introducing their engineering organisation to experienced women engineers who weren't already thinking about them.
Bringing a senior engineering audience together around a genuinely technical conversation
We partnered with incident.io to bring the She Bytes Back AI Series into their London office, creating an evening around agentic workflows and how engineers were actually using AI in their day-to-day work.
The result was a highly experienced technical audience and a room of women engineers engaging with incident.io through a conversation they genuinely wanted to be part of.
→ 247 applications for 135 approved spots
→ 88% of checked-in attendees had 5+ years' experience
→ Nearly half had 7+ years' experience
→ 7.4 years average industry experience
→ Companies in the room included Meta, Microsoft, Amazon, Spotify, Monzo, Skyscanner, Deliveroo and HubSpot
For incident.io, the opportunity was putting their engineering team, technical thinking and brand at the centre of an experience that senior women engineers actively wanted to show up for.
We're not trying to reach everyone
We care more about who is in the room than how many people we can fit into it. Our flagship technical experiences are approval-only and intentionally curated, so a woman can walk into a She Bytes Back event and find herself surrounded by other people who understand the work she does.
That's what creates the energy and most importantly, what keeps people coming back. And that's exactly what lets our partners build relationships in a way a sponsored post, a careers page or a generic recruitment event cannot replicate.
