Responsibilities- Own full-cycle recruiting for software engineering roles across all levels - sourcing, screening, coordinating, and closing candidates.
- Partner closely with engineering managers and founders to develop a deep understanding of technical requirements, team culture, and hiring bar for each role.
- Build and maintain a robust pipeline of qualified engineering candidates through proactive outbound sourcing, referrals, and community engagement.
- Craft compelling, tailored outreach that resonates with technical talent and clearly communicates our mission and engineering culture.
- Drive a structured, consistent interview process - define evaluation criteria, train interviewers, and ensure a high-quality candidate experience from first contact to offer.
- Manage and negotiate competitive offers with a strong understanding of compensation benchmarks in the current market.
- Track recruiting metrics - pipeline health, time-to-fill, source effectiveness - and use data to continuously improve funnel performance.
- Help shape and evolve recruiting processes, tooling, and employer branding as the company scales.
Requirements- 5+ years of recruiting experience, with a minimum of 5 years in-house at a tech company - agency experience is a plus, but significant in-house exposure is required.
- Demonstrated experience recruiting software engineers across a range of disciplines (backend, frontend, fullstack, infrastructure, ML/AI, etc.).
- Prior experience at early-stage startups (Seed through Series B); comfortable navigating ambiguity, shifting priorities, and high-velocity environments.
- Strong technical literacy - able to understand engineering job requirements, speak credibly with candidates about the stack and role, and accurately evaluate technical backgrounds.
- Proven track record of filling hard-to-hire senior engineering roles through creative, proactive sourcing - not just inbound.
- Experience working autonomously without a large TA team or recruiting infrastructure; a scrappy, self-sufficient approach to tooling and process.
- Exceptional communication and relationship-building skills - with candidates, hiring managers, and cross-functional partners.
- Familiarity with modern ATS platforms and sourcing tools (Greenhouse, Lever, LinkedIn Recruiter, etc.).
Not all candidates will check all of the requirements listed above and that's ok! We are open to great people from non-traditional backgrounds.
