IT staffing agency for New York City, without the fly-in costs.
ApTask staffs enterprise technology teams across New York City — Manhattan and Brooklyn — and the broader tri-state region, without the fly-in costs of a national vendor. Demand concentrates in financial services, Midtown media and the healthcare systems Northwell, NYU Langone and Mount Sinai, and as an NMSDC-certified MBE every engagement can count toward NYC and State MWBE goals.

Coverage
Which parts of New York City does ApTask staff?
ApTask's tri-state delivery footprint serves clients in Manhattan and Brooklyn, with Long Island, Westchester and the upstate hubs Albany, Buffalo and Rochester covered on the New York State page. Demand is concentrated in financial services (Manhattan, Jersey City-adjacent), media (Midtown), healthcare systems and public-sector modernization projects.
ApTask has no New York City office. The metro is served from the Iselin, New Jersey headquarters in Middlesex County, with delivery teams supporting the tri-state metropolitan area, so a Manhattan client gets local recruiters without a national vendor's travel line. The New Jersey page covers the Jersey City and Weehawken side of the same financial-services market.

Roles
Which roles does ApTask fill most in New York City?
Trading platform engineers (C++, Java, Python), quantitative developers, cloud architects (AWS and Azure), data engineers (Snowflake, Databricks), cybersecurity architects (SOC, IAM, GRC) and Salesforce and Adobe Experience Cloud consultants. Talent comes from the NYC tech ecosystem, Columbia, NYU, Cornell Tech, CUNY, Fordham and Stony Brook, and the pool of former Wall Street engineers and platform architects.

Long Island
Does ApTask serve Long Island as well as the five boroughs?
Yes. Long Island is part of the tri-state delivery footprint alongside Manhattan, Brooklyn and Westchester, and Stony Brook is one of the universities ApTask sources from. Long Island roles appear on the job board under their own town names (for example Bohemia) rather than under New York City, so the table below counts them separately.
Work models
Do New York City roles require onsite work?
Roughly 40% of current New York placements are remote or hybrid. Trading-floor and heavily regulated roles typically require onsite work, so expect financial-services requisitions to carry an onsite or hybrid component more often than media or public-sector ones.
NYC vs the rest of the state
How does New York City compare with the rest of New York State?
This page covers Manhattan, Brooklyn and the other boroughs plus Long Island; the New York State page covers Westchester and the upstate hubs. The live-role column is computed from the ApTask job board at build time, so it shows where requisitions actually sit today.

| Manhattan, Brooklyn and the other boroughs | This page | Financial services (Manhattan, Jersey City-adjacent), media (Midtown), healthcare systems, public-sector modernization | 61 |
| Long Island | This page (section above) | Part of the tri-state delivery footprint; Stony Brook on the sourcing list | 1 |

How it works
How does hiring in New York City through ApTask work?
Five steps from intake to deployment, the same SLA as every market: a calibration slate within 24 hours, a scored shortlist within 48 hours for contract or 5 business days for direct hire. MWBE reporting is set up in the engagement-model step when a client needs it.
- 01
Intake
Tell us the New York City role, the stack, the work model (onsite, hybrid or remote) and the timeline. A vertical recruiter responds within 24 hours with a calibration slate and a written staffing thesis.
- 02
Engagement-model calibration
For every open seat ApTask recommends a model: direct hire for core roles, contract for bounded work, contract-to-hire when fit is uncertain, a Statement of Work for a defined outcome. The recommendation is on the record before any candidate is presented.
- 03
Authenticated sourcing
Identity verification, employment-history reconciliation, technical proof-of-work and reference checks: every candidate clears the same pipeline regardless of engagement model.
- 04
Shortlist and decision
A shortlist of 3–5 candidates inside the SLA window — 48 hours for contract, 5 business days for direct hire — each with a scorecard, so the decision is built on evidence rather than enthusiasm.
- 05
Deployment, guarantee and continuity
Equipment, NDA, payroll and benefits onboarding run inside the ApTask platform. Direct-hire placements carry a 90-day no-fee replacement guarantee, contract engagements a two-week no-fee replacement window, and a continuity reserve identifies a replacement within 48 hours of an unexpected exit.

New York City staffing, the questions we hear most.
Does ApTask staff for Wall Street financial-services clients?
Yes. We place across the buy-side and sell-side spectrum, including trading platform engineers, quantitative developers, risk analysts, and regulatory-tech specialists, all MBE-compliant.
Can you support MWBE certification requirements at NY state and NYC agencies?
Yes. As an NMSDC-certified MBE with additional state-level minority-owned certification, ApTask engagements can count toward NY MWBE spend goals.
Does ApTask have an office in New York City?
No. ApTask's only US office is its headquarters at 120 Wood Avenue South, Iselin, New Jersey, with delivery hubs in Mississauga, Canada and Pune, India. New York City clients and candidates are served from there, with onsite, hybrid and remote roles depending on the client.
How fast can ApTask shortlist candidates in New York City?
A shortlist of 3–5 candidates arrives inside the SLA window: 48 hours for contract roles and 5 business days for direct hire, each candidate with a scorecard. New York City roles follow the same SLA as every other market.
Does ApTask staff New York City public-sector modernization projects?
Yes. Public-sector modernization projects are one of the four demand concentrations in the New York practice, and ApTask supports the MWBE certification programs at NYC agencies and on state contracts across the same contract, contract-to-hire, direct-hire and managed-solutions models it runs everywhere.
