Full Job Description
What you'll do

Giga is scaling fast, and we need a Senior Recruiter who knows how to operate at that pace. In this role, you'll own recruiting for our Technical and Engineering teams-finding exceptional people, moving quickly, and keeping the bar high. You'll partner directly with hiring managers and leadership to understand what great looks like, then go out and find it.

We work in a high-growth, constantly changing environment. Priorities shift, new roles open, pipelines move fast, and you'll be expected to adapt just as quickly. If you like building, solving problems in real time, and recruiting top talent in an ambiguous environment-this is your kind of place
Where you'll work

If based outside of our Houston, Long Beach or San Francisco hubs, this role will be based remotely from your home office. You must be willing to occasionally travel to one of our hub offices 3 days out of the month.
Responsibilities
  • Run full-cycle recruiting for Technical and Engineering roles: sourcing, outreach, interviews, feedback, and closing.
  • Partner with hiring managers to understand role requirements and build clear, targeted recruiting plans.
  • Write sharp, compelling job descriptions that attract the right talent.
  • Source passive candidates using creative strategies, technical communities, industry networks, and data-driven search.
  • Deliver a fast, high-quality candidate experience from first conversation to offer.
  • Share the Giga story, culture, and mission-and represent us well to every candidate you meet.
  • Maintain accurate pipelines and metrics in Greenhouse and use data to improve speed and quality.
  • Identify process gaps and implement improvements as we continue to grow and scale.
Requirements
  • Solid experience recruiting for technical and engineering roles in fast-paced, high-growth environments.
  • Strong sourcing skills-especially with passive technical talent.
  • Ability to operate with urgency while maintaining a high bar for quality.
  • Clear communication, strong judgment, and the ability to influence hiring managers and leaders.
  • Comfort working through ambiguity and adapting quickly as priorities shift.
  • Proficiency with ATS systems (Greenhouse preferred) and modern recruiting tools.
  • Start-up DNA

How We Work

We value people who take ownership, raise risks early, communicate directly, and follow through. Incomplete information is part of the job. Make the best decision you can, document it, and adjust as the facts change. Move quickly on reversible decisions and take more care when security, safety, financial, employee, or customer risk is involved.
Benefits
  • Subsidized health, dental, and vision insurance
  • Equity (options) in a rapidly growing startup
  • 401(k) with 4% employer match
  • Unlimited PTO
  • Parental leave
  • Healthcare and Dependent Care Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA) or Health Savings Account (HSA)
  • Commuter benefits, where applicable
  • Opportunities to collaborate in person at periodic team and company on-sites
