About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Owning full-cycle recruiting for engineering roles across the business, from intake and calibration through sourcing, interview process design, offer, and close
Maintaining a high bar for every hire. We are a small organization, and every hire can make a positive or negative impact on our goals. This responsibility cannot be taken lightly.
Partnering closely with hiring managers to define role scope, align on candidate profile, and build practical, high-signal interview plans
Coaching interviewers and hiring teams on structured interviewing, candidate evaluation, and how to maintain a high hiring bar while moving with urgency
Personally driving outbound sourcing strategy and execution across multiple roles; we do not have dedicated sourcers, so this role is expected to source heavily and consistently
Managing candidate pipelines with intensity and precision, ensuring strong conversion at every stage from first outreach through offer acceptance
Creating an excellent candidate experience, especially with high-demand engineering talent who expect responsiveness, clarity, and strong selling throughout the process
Using AI tools effectively to improve recruiter productivity, sourcing research, communication quality, interview preparation, and pipeline management, while applying sound judgment and maintaining a high-quality candidate experience
