Role
Who you are
- The ideal candidate (hopefully you!) is someone who is excited about having outsized impact and ownership (you’ll literally work on all of our open engineering headcount, from ICs to leadership roles across Platform, Product, Data, etc)
- Experience as a technical recruiter focused on engineering hiring
- Proven success closing engineering candidates
- Prior experience at an early/mid-stage startup with a focus on scaling engineering teams
- Experience hiring for different types of engineers (platform, product, frontend, data, etc)
- Comfort with ambiguity
- Exceptional written and verbal communication
What the job involves
- Stytch is hiring for a Technical Recruiter
- As a Technical Recruiter at Stytch, you’ll partner with our Engineering leaders on one of the most important aspects of their role – building a world class team
- You’ll be responsible for the entire eng recruiting funnel, from sourcing, screening, and ultimately closing while ensuring a top-notch candidate experience
- Impact and Ownership. This is going to be a meaty role where you tackle one of the Stytch’s biggest challenges – engineering hiring. You’ll be the DRI (directly responsible individual) for the execution of our engineering recruiting strategy and ultimately, our eng hiring goals
- Data-Driven recruiting. You should be excited about nerding out with your hiring managers re: recruiting data. After ramping up, you’ll have a strong understanding of our entire eng recruiting funnel, from pass-thru rates (PTRs) at every stage in our process to PTRs for every technical interview. You’ll use this data to help drive improvements to eng recruiting strategy
- Hiring Manager relationships. You’ll have several partners in crimes here at Stytch – the engineering hiring managers. Being able to deeply understand how each of your hiring managers operate and what their needs are will be mission critical
- Process building. As an early member of the Talent team at Stytch, you’ll be able to influence and improve how we do things. You’ll identify areas of improvement such as candidate experience, how we partner with HMs, how we close candidates, etc
- Candidate experience. Interviewing is a two-way street – as much as we’re interviewing candidates, they’re interviewing us as well. As the first point of contact for engineers learning about Stytch, you’ll set the tone for what potential future what potential future Constytchuents think of us, and of course, this will impact our ability to successfully close candidates
Our take
Passwords don’t typically offer the levels of security they once did, and we need more of them than ever - leading to poor security practices and a huge volume of subsequent data breaches. Some startups have emerged to help manage them; Stytch, however, is part of a growing cohort looking to cut them out entirely.
The idea is to make navigating digital space frictionless. To this end, Stytch has developed an out-of-the-box, easy-to-deploy version of about a dozen passwordless authentication solutions. It has seen a sharper increase in users and funding than rival startups like Magic, which it puts down to an API-first product, which is less limiting in its application than the widgets we’ve seen developed by earlier entrants to the space.
That alone, however, won’t be enough to push it ahead of other highly successful innovators in the space. Transmit Security has received record-breaking backing for its biometrics-led approach. This goes to show how far the market is betting on a passwordless future, and whilst Stytch’s line of attack is successful, it will nevertheless need to remain sharp in its development of new solutions.

Company values
- Are we thinking big enough yet?: This is a question we always ask ourselves. Our potential is limited only by our team’s ambition, creativity, and work ethic. Ambitious cultures win, but they’re also far more fun than the alternative
- Fail fast: Failing fast means exploring new ideas and projects, and quickly testing their potential. Basically, we test something and if it doesn’t work, we move on. We’d rather fail quickly than let it drag on
- Own it: Sometimes, it’s easier to sweep something under the carpet and pretend you didn’t see it. But at Stytch, we’re building a culture of ownership, where if you see something that needs fixing, you take the necessary steps to correct the issue
- Constytchuents make each other & Stytch better: At Stytch we hire ambitious and empathetic humans. We're constantly improving together, through a culture of feedback. More than the sum of our parts, we're a single team with the shared goals of creating an awesome product and workplace
