In this role, you will own full-cycle recruiting for some of Stord's most competitive and highest-impact hires: Data Engineers & Data Scientists, AI Engineers, Product Managers, and Software Engineers. You'll act as a true hybrid of technical and product recruiter - equally comfortable evaluating a candidate's system design chops as you are assessing product sense and roadmap thinking. You'll partner directly with engineering and product leadership to understand hiring needs, build sourcing strategies for hard-to-find skillsets, and deliver an exceptional candidate experience from first outreach through offer.
