Full Job Description
The Role

This is a sourcing-heavy, end-to-end recruiting role focused on some of the hardest and most business-critical hiring problems at Enigma.

You'll partner closely with technical and company leadership to identify, engage, and close high-caliber talent across engineering, data science, AI/ML, product, and go-to-market functions. Many of these searches require creativity, persistence, and strong judgment. The profiles we're looking for are often highly specialized and rarely actively applying.

This role is ideal for someone who enjoys going deep: understanding technical domains, shaping search strategy, influencing hiring decisions, and helping build recruiting systems that scale with the company.

You won't just run processes. You'll help define how Enigma identifies and hires talent in highly competitive markets.
What You'll Do
  • Lead full-cycle recruiting for high-impact roles across Engineering, Data Science, Product, and GTM
  • Build and execute creative, multi-channel sourcing strategies to engage top talent
  • Develop deep pipelines through outbound outreach, referrals, networking, and talent mapping
  • Manage candidates through the full interview process, including screening, scheduling and coordination, calibration, offer management, and closing
  • Partner closely with hiring managers to align on profiles, calibrate candidates, and drive searches forward
  • Continuously test and refine sourcing approaches, messaging, interview processes, and recruiting tools to improve conversion and quality
  • Bring insights from the market back to the team and inform hiring strategy, compensation expectations, and talent availability
  • Help elevate recruiting at Enigma by sharing best practices, improving processes, and contributing to a strong recruiting culture
What Makes This Role Exciting?
  • High Impact Recruiting Problems: You'll work on complex, high-signal searches across AI/ML, data infrastructure, product engineering, and GTM, often partnering directly with company leadership.
  • Real Ownership: This role spans the full recruiting lifecycle, from market mapping and outbound sourcing through closing and process design. You'll have significant autonomy and influence over how recruiting operates at Enigma.
  • Embedded Partnership: Recruiting at Enigma is highly collaborative and deeply connected to company strategy. You'll work closely with hiring managers and leadership teams who care deeply about hiring quality and talent density.
Our Ideal Candidate
  • Has 3+ years of experience in sourcing or full-cycle recruiting in a high-growth or startup environment, with a strong emphasis on proactive sourcing
  • Has a track record of successfully recruiting for complex or competitive roles (e.g., engineering, data science, product, or similar)
  • Takes a curious, hypothesis-driven approach to sourcing, you're constantly testing and iterating
  • Is highly resourceful and creative in identifying, engaging, and closing candidates
  • Builds credibility quickly with both candidates and hiring teams
  • Is organized and able to manage multiple searches and pipelines simultaneously (we use Greenhouse)
  • Operates with ownership, urgency, and resilience, especially when searches are challenging or evolving
  • Cares deeply about candidate experience and understands how strong recruiting processes shape a company's reputation and ability to scale
Salary Range: $120,000-$150,000, plus commission incentive package.

A note on salary ranges: we pride ourselves on paying competitively for our size and industry. Salary is one piece of a total Enigma compensation package that includes additional benefits and opportunities. All of our compensation packages include equity because we believe 100% of Enigma employees should have the option to purchase ownership in the company and benefit from the value we're creating together.
