I immediately thought engaged -> married. I didn't even pay attention to the with/to conjunction. Anything "engaged" means marriage to me unless presented as something that is not a person. I get it now, and it makes sense, but I have a feeling there are a lot of people who would think, programmer finds female programmer that is excellent at what she does and wants to "engage" her.
