The opportunityWe9re hiring a Talent Engineer to help build the team behind Ambrook9s next phase of growth. You9ll work directly with our founding recruiter to own sourcing and coordination across both technical and commercial roles - and build the systems that automate the toilsome parts of this work. You9ll spend your time finding strong candidates, keeping the process moving, and creating an exceptional candidate experience from first touch through onsite.
Recruiting is changing. As you grow, there are real paths forward: full-cycle recruiting, RecOps & talent engineering, or deeper sourcing expertise, depending on your strengths, goals, and where the company needs you most. Our team is building automations using Claude, Zapier, and Ashby and we9ll get you set up on our team9s Github account as part of onboarding. If you9ve been searching for a recruiting role where building is part of the job, this is it.
We9re looking for someone genuinely energized by operational craft. A couple things that might make you a great fit:
- You make coordination invisible. Candidates and hiring managers experience the process as effortless because you pre-empt every break before it happens, and you use every slip in the logistics as a chance to change and tighten how we operate.
- You know what good looks like. You can read a background and tell quickly whether it9s worth reaching out, and you balance volume and quality without sacrificing either. Your sequences, follow-ups, and sourcing projects stay organized because you can9t leave a messy pipeline alone.
Within 1 month you9ll...- Ramp on Ambrook9s product, mission, and hiring process by shadowing the founding recruiter and interviewers to calibrate on what good looks like.
- Get fully up to speed on Ashby and take over scheduling and coordination across active reqs.
- Launch sourcing and outreach campaigns for your first 2-3 roles across technical and/or commercial.
- Start mapping improvements and identify the first 2-3 candidates for automation or tooling improvement.
Within 3 months you9ll...- Own scheduling and coordination across all active pipelines.
- Run consistent weekly volume of outbound sourcing across technical and commercial roles.
- Hold top-of-funnel conversations with sourced candidates and hand qualified prospects to the founding recruiter for full screens.
- Shipped at least 1-2 automations or tooling improvements that measurably reduced manual work and increased the number of sourced candidates in the pipeline.
Within 6 months you9ll...- Own top-of-funnel strategy across your roles - sourcing channels, outreach approach, pipeline health & reporting.
- Prototyped or co-built at least one larger system such as a sourcing agent, a market intelligence feed, or an AI-powered candidate personalization workflow.
- Build reusable sourcing playbooks that compound beyond individual searches.
- Be presenting pipeline health and funnel data to the recruiting team and hiring managers.
About you- 1-4 years of experience in sourcing or recruiting coordination, with a strong bias toward proactive, pipeline-generation work and operational precision.
- Actively use AI tools in your workflow and have started building with them, not just using them. You9ve automated or systematized part of a sourcing or coordination process - and you can describe exactly what you built and what it unlocked.
- Demonstrated ability to identify and engage passive talent in competitive markets.
- Strong enough understanding of technical roles to speak credibly with engineers about what they work on and why it matters.
- Experienced with LinkedIn as well as modern platforms like Juicebox, Metaview, Wrangle, Gem, etc.
- Clear, effective written communicator who can represent Ambrook9s voice in candidate-facing messages.
- Run a clean kitchen. Keep the pipeline organized by managing your sequences and follow-ups, tagging candidates, and submitting well-written feedback.
- Quality and quantity. You can hit your outbound goals, but your outreach reads like a person wrote it. You take the time to look for real connections and touchpoints with candidates.
- Genuinely energized by coordination and the operational side of recruiting - not just tolerating it as a path to something else.
- Bonus: Experience sourcing for fintech, GTM/commercial roles, or early-stage startups. You9ll have the opportunity here to work on both technical and non-technical roles depending on experience.
