Responsibilities:
- Own full-cycle recruiting for software engineering roles across all levels — sourcing, screening, coordinating, and closing candidates.
- Partner closely with engineering managers and founders to develop a deep understanding of technical requirements, team culture, and hiring bar.
- Manage and negotiate competitive offers with a strong understanding of compensation benchmarks in the current market.
Requirements:
- 5+ years of recruiting experience, with a minimum of 3 years in-house at a tech company; agency experience is a plus.
- Demonstrated experience recruiting software engineers across various disciplines (backend, frontend, fullstack, infrastructure, ML/AI).
- Prior experience at early-stage startups (Seed through Series B); comfortable navigating ambiguity and high-velocity environments.
- Strong technical literacy — able to understand engineering job requirements and speak credibly with candidates about the stack.
Candidate Profile:
- Proven track record of filling hard-to-hire senior engineering roles through creative, proactive sourcing — not just inbound.
- Experience working autonomously without a large TA team; a scrappy, self-sufficient approach to tooling and process.
- Exceptional communication and relationship-building skills — with candidates, hiring managers, and cross-functional partners.
