Role
Who you are
- You are a driver of company success. You understand that bringing in the right talent determines the trajectory of the business, and you refuse to settle for mediocrity. You hold a high bar and hire accordingly
- You are an innovator in highly competitive markets. You know how to identify, attract, and close niche, hard-to-find technical talent, and you are relentless in pursuing the highest caliber candidates
- You are a relationship-driven recruiter who builds trust quickly with technical hiring managers and top-tier candidates
- You are intellectually curious and comfortable learning complex technical domains in order to assess, challenge, and advise credibly
- You are resilient in the face of competing priorities, shifting roadmaps, and evolving technical requirements
- You are data-driven and comfortable using metrics to diagnose bottlenecks, inform decisions, and continuously improve performance
- You are resourceful and proactive, constantly testing new sourcing strategies across technical communities and networks
- You take accountability, follow through on commitments, and consistently deliver high-quality results
- You are adaptable when priorities shift, while maintaining a long-term view of technical talent strategy
- 7+ years of full-cycle recruiting experience, with at least 4+ years focused on Product, Engineering, Research, Data, or other highly technical roles. You understand that talent quality directly determines company trajectory
- Experience recruiting in a high-growth SaaS or technology environment, ideally with remote or distributed teams, where speed and precision both matter
- A demonstrated track record of sourcing, engaging, and closing senior-level technical talent in highly competitive markets. You do not settle for “good enough.” You pursue and close the best
- Deep proficiency with an ATS (Greenhouse preferred) and modern sourcing platforms (LinkedIn Recruiter, GitHub, technical communities), paired with a near-maniacal standard for data accuracy. Your systems are audit-ready at all times
- Proven ability to influence and challenge senior technical stakeholders (Directors, VPs, Heads of Engineering/Product). You understand the business implications of every hire and operate accordingly
- A relentless drive to support the business. You move with urgency, own outcomes, and do not drop balls. Sloppy process, missed follow-ups, and inaccurate data are unacceptable
- Demonstrated ability to leverage AI to build smarter recruiting workflows — automating where appropriate, increasing efficiency, improving candidate screening rigor, and continuously modernizing processes. You think in systems, not tasks
- Strong operational instincts and organizational discipline, with the ability to manage multiple complex searches simultaneously without sacrificing accuracy, rigor, or candidate experience
