Role
Who you are
- 5+ years of technical recruiting experience working in a dynamic, fast-growing company
- Care deeply about the experience of every candidate, no matter the outcome
- Passionate about getting to know each candidate's background and motivations to align with the company's hiring needs
- Collaborate well as a partner with hiring managers across Engineering, Product, and Design
- Hands-on experience making AI part of how you work — you already use AI tools daily to build faster and go deeper, you've automated real pieces of your own workflow, and you have a point of view on where AI can transform recruiting
- A demonstrated ability to take full ownership of a workstream and drive it independently from question to decision, without significant supervision
- The ability to bring structure to ambiguous problems and thrive in an unstructured, fast-moving environment
- An enthusiastic “roll up your sleeves” mentality — you act as an owner and move with urgency
- Sweat the details to master your craft in recruiting
- Education: Bachelor's degree or an equivalent combination of education, training, and experience
What the job involves
- Step is looking for an experienced Technical Recruiter to own end-to-end recruiting efforts for a variety of roles across Engineering, Product, and Design.
- Hiring amazing talent is one of the most important areas for the entire company and this is a unique opportunity to join our recruiting team at an early stage. Come and help us build and shape the future of Step as a top-tier fintech company
- Own full-cycle recruiting across various pipelines in Engineering, Product, and Design
- Work directly with Step's CTO, Founders, and the leadership team on recruiting strategy to attract and hire top talent
- Drive a variety of sourcing tools to engage passive talent, in addition to owning inbound application buckets
- Manage processes to ensure we are optimizing our tools, data, and reporting
- Create a white-glove candidate experience for all candidates who engage in the recruiting process
Our take
Thanks to an increasingly mobile-native and plugged-in younger demographic, fintechs have a new market to play for: teens and young adults. It’s led to fierce competition, but Step is one of the players leading the pack.
Step’s offering is a fee-free, interest-free visa card, with instant payments and easy account management that is optionally controlled by a parent (or sponsor). The idea is to offer a relatively low-risk sandbox in which young people can build up financial literacy along with a good credit score, whilst enjoying the benefits of digital banking.
Some savvy TikTok marketing by Step, along with flashy backing from celebrity investors, has helped it rapidly onboard over 3 million users and cultivate strong name-brand recognition. In 2026 it was acquired by MrBeast's company, a move which Step hopes will amplify its platform so that it can broaden its reach.
