About The Position

Fanatics Commerce is seeking a Senior Technical Recruiter to play a critical role in driving strategic technical talent acquisition and workforce planning across its engineering, product, and data organizations. This role involves partnering closely with leaders to deliver top-tier technical talent in a fast-paced, global environment. The Senior Technical Recruiter will influence technical hiring strategies, build diverse engineering pipelines, and elevate the candidate experience for software engineers, data scientists, and product talent at scale. Success will be measured by the ability to deliver business and fan impact through BOLD leadership and execution excellence, leveraging data, automation, and AI-enabled insights to identify and close world-class technical talent.

Requirements

5–8+ years of full-cycle technical recruiting experience, ideally within a multi-branded, vertical retail, e-commerce, or technology company.
Track record of proactive, always-on recruitment—building and nurturing diverse talent pipelines ahead of need through direct sourcing, networking, and talent communities, rather than relying solely on reactive, requisition-driven searches.
Proven ability to manage complex, senior-level technical searches (e.g., software engineering, data, platform, and infrastructure roles) and influence stakeholders across multiple functions and leadership levels.
Deep understanding of software engineering roles, tech stacks, and the technical hiring landscape, with expertise in sourcing strategies, talent mapping, and competitive market analysis to build diverse, high-quality engineering pipelines.
Strong communication and negotiation skills with a consultative, data-driven approach to advising engineering hiring managers and senior technology leaders.
Proficiency in ATS platforms (e.g., Greenhouse) and technical sourcing tools including LinkedIn Recruiter, GitHub, Stack Overflow, and CRM systems.
Experience partnering with engineering leadership to design and continuously improve technical interview processes, including coding assessments, system design interviews, and structured evaluation rubrics.
Demonstrated ability to analyze technical recruiting metrics and translate data into clear narratives that guide hiring strategy and drive continuous process improvement.
A passion for delivering exceptional candidate experiences and building world-class engineering teams in a fast-paced, global environment.

Leverage ATS platforms (e.g., Greenhouse), LinkedIn Recruiter, GitHub, Stack Overflow, technical CRM systems, and other sourcing tools to streamline workflows and enhance pipeline visibility.
Identify and analyze key technical talent, pipeline, and KPI data to uncover trends and translate metrics into actionable insights that shape sourcing and selection strategies.
Continuously improve technical recruiting processes in response to evolving business needs, using technology and analytics to drive greater efficiency across the hiring lifecycle.
