Mauro Leos
Mauro is a Technical Product Manager at USAA, where he specializes in digital authentication and member security at scale.
With over seven years of experience across data, engineering, and product, Mauro brings a rare combination of technical depth and strategic product thinking. He began his career as a Data Analyst after graduating from The University of Texas at Austin, where he managed a one million dollar Google Ads budget and drove data-backed business decisions.
After teaching himself to code, Mauro transitioned into software engineering at MediaMonks in San Francisco, building products for Google and leading cross-functional teams. That hands-on engineering experience shaped his approach to product, grounding strategy in execution and real-world constraints.
Today, Mauro focuses on building secure, seamless product experiences at scale at USAA. Through TechLynk, he helps companies hire talent that understands both technology and impact, not just resumes.
About TechLynk
We believe hiring should be thoughtful, technical, and human.
TechLynk was born from our own experience working inside product teams and watching recruiting miss the mark.
Too often, hiring focused on speed and volume instead of judgment and fit. So we built something different.
TechLynk is a recruiting partner led by product thinkers who understand what great hiring actually requires. We focus on clarity, alignment, and execution, helping companies build teams that deliver real impact.
Our Mission
To help teams hire people who can actually do the work, not just interview well.
We believe hiring should be clear, intentional, and grounded in real judgment. That’s how better teams get built.
Our Approach
We approach recruiting the same way we approach building products: with clarity, structure, and intention.
Because we’ve worked inside product and engineering teams, we understand what actually matters beyond a resume. We focus on judgment, execution, and fit, not volume or speed for its own sake.
Every search is grounded in clear expectations, consistent evaluation, and thoughtful communication, so hiring feels focused, human, and predictable for everyone involved.
How We Partner
We treat hiring like product work.
We start by understanding the role, the team, and what success actually looks like, not just collecting requirements.
From there, we evaluate candidates the same way we would teammates: by how they think, how they execute, and
how they communicate.
We don’t optimize for volume. We optimize for signal. Every introduction is intentional, well-vetted, and backed by
clear reasoning, so decisions are easier and hiring feels less chaotic.
