Full Job Description
About the role What You'll Do
Build and manage high-quality pipelines for technical roles across robotics, ML/AI, embedded systems, and software engineering
Develop creative, research-driven sourcing strategies to find candidates who aren't actively looking
Write outreach that resonates - personalized, specific, and reflective of a genuine understanding of the candidate's background
Partner closely with hiring managers and founders to deeply understand what "great" looks like for each role
Maintain a sharp, accurate view of the talent landscape - who's doing interesting work, where, and why they might be open to a conversation
Continuously refine your approach based on what's working and what's not
Who You Are
You don't need a script; you can reason through a hard problem, craft a strategy, and adjust on the fly. You bring intellectual rigor to sourcing the same way a strong engineer brings it to a technical problem.
You're not here to run a funnel or hit a closing rate. You care about finding the right people for the right roles, and you trust that good judgment and honest conversations get better outcomes than pressure tactics.
You're mission-driven. You want to be at Matic specifically. You're excited about what we're building and that energy comes through in every conversation you have with a candidate.
You're comfortable with ambiguity and ownership. We're a small team. You won't have a large recruiting org around you. You'll need to set your own priorities, build your own processes from scratch, and operate with a high degree of independence.
