- Experience and continued interest in building employer branding initiatives, including but not limited to event planning and content creation
- Proven success closing senior-level candidates and negotiating equity-driven compensation packages

- Initiate and manage on and offline marketing events, campaigns and activities focused on communicating our employer brand and attracting the right professionals to our talent community
- Partner with internal stakeholders to create global, employer branding and culture-focused content for both internal and external audiences and communication channels
- Assist with ad hoc projects as needed. As we continue to scale in the EU and the UK, you may be asked to assist with additional efforts to support human resources and workplace operations locally
- In your first 30 days, we want you to learn about our product and team inside and out
- To attract top talent, you need to have a deep understanding of what makes our company special and exciting from both a people and a product standpoint
- We encourage you to become involved in formal conversations like team meetings and find informal opportunities like lunch or coffee to get to know our sales and customer-facing teams
- Your job during this time is to be a sponge and start working on your Cockroach Labs pitch!
- By 60 days, you will have a strong grasp of our recruiting processes
- You will have shadowed recruiter screens and observed Hiring Committee reviews after completing onsite interviews
- You will have worked alongside the team during their sourcing efforts to understand the tools and resources we use to engage candidates

Salary benchmarks
Our take
Cockroach Labs was founded by a team of ex-Google employees who wanted to build a database management system similar to Google’s Spanner. The result is CockroachDB, an open-source, distributed SQL database that delivers familiar SQL, strong consistency, and near-indestructible fault tolerance. Designed to scale locally or globally and deployed on any cloud or on-prem setup, it keeps mission-critical applications running even through hardware failures or full data-center outages.
A major milestone in the company's growth is its partnership with IBM ,which integrates CockroachBD into IBM's hybrid infrastructure. This makes it far easier for long-standing mainframe users to modernize without rewriting massive amounts of code. Running CockroachDB on systems like LinuxONE, Linux on Z, Power Systems, and Red Hat OpenShift helps organizations adopt cloud-native architectures while staying in environments they trust. At the same time, enterprise demand is surging and the company is boasting significant year-on-year growth in new customers, ARR, and cloud adoption.
As applications become more global, always-on, and increasingly AI-driven, businesses need databases built for scale, resilience, and zero downtime. And CockroachDB was engienered for exaclt ythat. With a decade of innovation, expanding enterprise traction, and a leadership team experienced in scaling high-growth tech companies, Cockroach Labs is set to power the next generation of mission-critical applications.
