Role
Who you are
- 6-10+ years in an HRBP role supporting technical teams in high-growth SaaS or product-driven companies
- Strong ability to influence without authority and build trust with senior technical leaders
- Experience diagnosing organizational issues and designing interventions that improve execution
- Comfortable operating with incomplete information and creating clarity in ambiguity
- Deep coaching experience with managers and senior ICs
- Ability to quickly understand technical environments, role types, and R&D operating rhythms
- High judgment, calm communication, and a bias toward action over theatrics
What the job involves
- We are looking for a strategic HR Business Partner to support our Engineering and Product organizations during a period of fast scaling and operational maturation
- This is not a reactive HR generalist role, it is an embedded partner to technical leadership, helping shape org design, elevate manager capability, and proactively address performance and communication
- You will work closely with the VP of Engineering, VP of Product, and senior managers to drive clarity, accountability, and leadership maturity at scale
- Provide thought partnership to Engineering & Product leaders on scaling, org structure, role clarity, and team effectiveness
- Identify talent gaps, succession risks, and opportunities to level-up leadership behaviors
- Coach engineering and product managers on feedback, difficult conversations, performance management, and decision-making
- Build leadership capability using Fingerprint’s Leadership Rubric and FLIP+ principles
- Diagnose team dynamics, alignment issues, and friction points; drive interventions that improve execution and trust
- Enable high-quality communication and collaboration across the organization
- Lead calibration cycles, talent assessments, performance processes, and compensation cycles for R&D
- Guide leaders through rigorous documentation, PIPs, and talent actions when needed
- Partner with leaders on implementing new systems, processes, and cultural expectations as we scale
- Improve communication clarity and speed across our globally distributed team
- Serve as a functional lead for R&D employee relations, policy interpretation, and compliance (in partnership with People Ops)
Our take
Digital fingerprinting is an essential process in web browsers that tracks the digital address of a device to monitor web activity. This technique facilitates the identification of fraud and spam, as well as warning signs of account takeovers. However, the success of this requires users to accept cookies, a requirement that is easy to avoid.
Fingerprint provides a digital fingerprinting tool that generates a unique identifier of browser activity without requiring the user to accept cookies. The service uses the same WebGL and canvas fingerprinting utilized by existing competitors, but instead of focusing on devices, it identifies web activity. Suspicious activity will result in the identified user being logged in a database, allowing the service to be improved for others.
With this innovative approach, Fingerprint has been able to build up an impressive client roster of over 6000 companies, including 16% of the top 500 websites by traffic. As well as displaying sustained growth through funding rounds, the company has also continued to improve upon its offering - for instance, in Q1 2023 it reported a decrease in iOS false positive and false negative rates by 85%.
