To radically transform the data analyst user experience.
Role
Who you are
- 3+ years of experience as a Technical Sourcer or Recruiter, ideally in a startup or high-growth environment
- Proven ability to build and maintain technical pipeline: you can find, engage, and close engineering talent across multiple specialties
- Demonstrated success owning full-cycle searches, from intake to offer, across technical and non-technical functions
- Deep understanding of startup dynamics and the type of talent that thrives in high-autonomy, fast-moving environments
- Strong communication skills and high EQ: you build trust quickly and maintain it through clarity and follow-through
- A creative, unorthodox sourcing mindset: you know when to use LinkedIn and when to go off the beaten path
- Resourceful, high-agency approach to problem solving. You find ways around roadblocks instead of waiting for instructions
- Curiosity about tools, systems, and AI: you experiment with ways to work smarter, not just harder
What the job involves
- At MotherDuck, we’re building the future of cloud-based data analytics with DuckDB at its heart… and we know that great products start with great people. As we scale our engineering flock, we’re looking for a Technical Recruiter who brings curiosity, creativity, and a healthy dose of resourcefulness to the art of hiring
- This isn’t your typical recruiting role. You’ll be joining a high-agency, unorthodox team that values autonomy, experimentation, and thoughtful execution. You’ll own and shape how we attract and engage exceptional engineers (and occasionally non-technical talent) while crafting candidate experiences that feel personal, transparent, and one of a kind
- We’re looking for someone who blends deep sourcing expertise with strong candidate management instincts and an AI-first approach to process optimization. If you thrive in ambiguity, move fast without losing the details, and genuinely love building relationships with exceptional humans, we’d love to talk
- This role can be based in our Seattle (preferred), San Francisco, or New York City locations
- Own and drive full-cycle technical recruiting for our Engineering and Product teams, while flexing into other functions (GTM, G&A) as hiring needs evolve
- Build creative, data-informed sourcing strategies that uncover talent in unexpected places and engage candidates with thoughtful, personalized outreach
- Partner closely with hiring managers to define success, shape interview processes, and make data-driven hiring decisions
- Curate high-touch candidate experiences that reflect our values of Agency, Thoughtfulness, Flexibility, and Unorthodoxy
- Leverage AI tools and automation to improve sourcing, outreach, scheduling, and insights… freeing your time for the human side of recruiting
- Track metrics, analyze pipeline data, and surface insights to continuously improve our approach
- Contribute to our growing employer brand through events, content, and community-building
Our take
In the increasingly complex landscape of data analytics, the challenges faced in managing and extracting meaningful insights from large datasets are on the rise. Conventional approaches, often involving distributed architectures and petabyte-scale data solutions, can be cumbersome, expensive, and less user-friendly for the majority of users who do not operate at such a large scale.
MotherDuck, recognizing this issue, has emerged as a solution provider with its serverless, user-friendly data analytics platform. Leveraging the power of the open-source database DuckDB, MotherDuck aims to simplify the scale-up approach to SQL analytics, offering a faster, more cost-effective alternative for the 95% of analysts who do not require petabyte-scale data solutions.
Having secured funding in 2023, the company is now well-positioned to further enhance its platform and expand its user base. As MotherDuck continues to collaborate closely with the DuckDB team and integrate user feedback for enhancements, the company is also poised to play a pivotal role in the evolution of serverless data analytics.
