The people behind the work

Our team & leadership

Senior engineers who ship production systems — the protocol architects, AI engineers and platform builders who own the hard parts of your product from research to launch.

Leadership

Named, reachable, accountable

The engineers who set the technical direction and answer for the outcome. All three founders are computer scientists from FAST-NUCES, personally active in AI, blockchain and cybersecurity R&D. Engagements are owned at this level, not delegated away from it.

HGK
Hamza Gul Kakar
Founder & CEO

Founded Magnus Mage in 2019 and has led it into concurrent engagements across four countries. Owns company vision, technology roadmap and partnership strategy.

SK
Sarmad Khan
Founder & CTO

Owns technology strategy and product architecture, and still writes code on live engagements. Co-designed the Augusteum consensus, architected the Lunar Link relayer and built the AI-based on-chain KYT platform.

MO
Muhammad Omaid
Founder & COO

Delivery, quality and client engagement, and leads AI adoption across engineering. Co-inventor of the Proof of Unity consensus protocol.

Team by discipline

The engineers behind each layer

Six disciplines, one team. Teams are assembled per engagement from principal, associate and delivery tiers — shared or dedicated according to the project. You meet the engineers before you commit.

Engineering culture

How we actually work

Craft isn’t a slogan here — it’s the daily practice that lets a small team ship systems people trust with real value.

See our GitHub →

Every change reviewed

Nothing merges without a second set of eyes. Code review is where standards get held and knowledge spreads.

Documentation as a deliverable

Architecture decisions, runbooks and handover docs ship with the code, so your team can own it.

We work in the open

Public repositories, open-source contributions and shared tooling — work we can point to, not just describe.

Research is part of the job

Time to prototype, read papers and build the hard thing — the R&D that keeps Xyress and our work at the frontier.

Join us

We’re hiring engineers who care about the hard parts

If you want to build protocols, applied AI and platforms that ship to production — and own them — we’d like to talk.

Get in touch →
We have no open positions at the moment. We are still glad to hear from senior engineers — send a note on what you would want to build.

Want to work with these people?

Whether you want to hire the team for a build or join it, the door is the same — talk to our team and we’ll take it from there.
