The OpportunityWe are hiring a Technical Recruiter to join our growing Talent Acquisition team. This role is ideal for an experienced full-cycle technical recruiter who is ready to independently own a portfolio of engineering and technical hiring while continuing to grow as a talent acquisition professional.
Reporting to the Director of Talent Acquisition, you'll partner closely with engineering leaders and hiring managers to attract exceptional talent across software engineering, systems engineering, AI/ML, infrastructure, product, and other highly technical disciplines. You'll manage an average of 8-10 active requisitions while balancing sourcing, stakeholder partnership, and operational excellence.
The ideal candidate is energized by technical recruiting, enjoys building relationships with both candidates and hiring teams, and thrives in a collaborative, fast-paced environment. While the primary focus of this role is recruiting technical talent, familiarity with the U.S. security clearance process and recruiting for clearance-eligible positions is valuable, as many of our U.S.-based roles support government and national security customers.
