Where you'll workThis role will be based in our Seattle office.

ResponsibilitiesAs Senior Manager, Technical Recruiting, you'll lead the team responsible for some of Brex's most complex and high-stakes hiring - AI/ML, Specialized Tech, and Engineering Leadership. You'll own the end-to-end health of your function's pipeline: setting team goals, driving conversion, and surfacing risks before they become blockers. You'll partner directly with Engineering leadership to translate business priorities into sourcing and assessment strategies, and you'll bring rigor to how we evaluate candidates in specialized and senior technical roles. As much as this role is about hitting numbers, it's about developing people - coaching your recruiters to raise their craft, give sharper feedback, and build stronger relationships with the leaders they support. If you're energized by the intersection of team development, technical hiring strategy, and operational excellence in a fast-moving environment, this is the role.
Requirements- 7+ years of technical recruiting experience in high-growth or venture-backed tech companies
- 2+ years of people management experience leading technical recruiting teams
- Demonstrated experience hiring for specialized technical roles (AI/ML, Infrastructure, Platform, Security, or similar)
- Track record of developing recruiters - giving direct feedback, running 1:1s, and building high-performing teams
- Strong analytical instincts; comfortable reading pipeline data and translating it into action
- Experience as a strategic partner to Engineering or senior technical leadership
- Ability to operate with autonomy and handle ambiguity in a fast-moving, evolving org
Bonus points- Experience hiring Engineering Leadership or Staff+ talent
- Familiarity with AI/ML talent markets and sourcing strategies for applied ML or research roles
- Experience navigating recruiting in a post-acquisition or org integration context
- Proficiency with Greenhouse, Gem, LinkedIn Recruiter, or similar tooling
CompensationThe expected salary range for this role is $170,000 - $210,000. However, the starting base pay will depend on a number of factors including the candidate's location, skills, experience, market demands, and internal pay parity. Depending on the position offered, equity and other forms of compensation may be provided as part of a total compensation package.
