About the role

As a Lead Technical Recruiter, you will own hiring across Engineering, Security, Data, and adjacent technical functions. You'll drive searches from HM kickoff through sourcing, interviewing, offer negotiation, and close, serving as a strategic partner to our most senior org leaders.

Being a Lead on the team, expect full autonomy to deliver results.

This role combines hands-on recruiting excellence with strong business partnership. You'll build trusted relationships with leaders at multiple levels, translate org priorities into effective hiring strategies, and use recruiting data to improve pipeline health, candidate quality, process effectiveness, and hiring-manager rapport.

We're a nimble Recruiting Team that uses AI and tech daily to automate manual work and focus on what matters most: strong relationships, efficient and structured interview processes, and an exceptional candidate experience. You'll be expected to move quickly at the top of funnel, operate with sound judgment, and bring a high level of ownership to a range of concurrent searches.
