About The Position

We are looking for an exceptional Senior Technical Recruiter to join our Talent team. This is a full-cycle, individual contributor role responsible for driving end-to-end recruitment for technical positions across the organization, with a focus on AI, ML, and agentic engineering talent. The ideal candidate is a strategic operator — someone who recruits with the end in mind, builds trusted relationships with executive stakeholders, and closes competitive offers without flinching. You bring deep sourcing expertise, strong market instincts, and a data-driven approach to every search. You have a track record at companies people recognize, long tenures that reflect real ownership, and the startup experience to thrive in a high-velocity, high-ambiguity environment. This is not a requisition-processing role. We are looking for someone who treats recruiting as a craft and AI as a competitive advantage.

Requirements

  • 6–10+ years of full-cycle technical recruiting experience, with at least 3 years in a senior or lead individual contributor capacity
  • Demonstrated success hiring for Engineering, AI/ML, Agentic Systems, Data, or Security roles in competitive markets
  • Proven experience influencing executive-level stakeholders and partnering with senior hiring managers as a strategic advisor
  • Meaningful tenure at previous employers reflecting real ownership and investment in outcomes, not frequent role-hopping
  • US-based hiring experience required
  • End-to-end technical recruiting with a specialization in AI/ML or agentic engineering talent
  • Advanced sourcing expertise: Boolean search, LinkedIn Recruiter, GitHub, talent mapping, and AI-assisted sourcing tools
  • Offer negotiation and candidate closing, including competing offer management and counter-offer inoculation
  • Data-driven recruiting: pipeline metrics, conversion tracking, capacity planning, and reporting to leadership
  • Market intelligence: compensation benchmarking, talent landscape analysis, competitor insights
  • ATS proficiency (Greenhouse preferred)
  • Executive presence and the ability to influence senior stakeholders with data and clear recommendations
  • Strategic problem-solving — you diagnose root causes, not just symptoms
  • Strong ownership mindset: you treat every open role as your own business problem to solve
  • High resilience and accountability; you close what you open
  • Comfort operating at startup speed with limited support infrastructure
  • Intellectual curiosity about AI and its implications for the talent landscape

Nice To Haves

  • Startup or high-growth experience preferred
  • Global hiring exposure a strong plus
  • Experience at AI-first companies or AI research organizations
  • Experience at high-growth technology startups (Series B through IPO)

  • Experience at enterprise technology firms with rigorous technical hiring standards

Responsibilities

  • Own and manage the full recruitment lifecycle for technical roles, with particular depth in AI, ML, agentic systems, and software engineering
  • Partner directly with executive and senior hiring managers to run structured intake meetings, define hiring strategy, and align on success criteria
  • Build proactive, multi-channel sourcing strategies using LinkedIn Recruiter, GitHub, Boolean search, talent mapping, referral networks, and AI-powered sourcing tools
  • Screen and evaluate candidates for both technical capability and cultural alignment
  • Manage the interview process end-to-end, ensuring a consistent and high-quality candidate experience
  • Drive stakeholder alignment and influence hiring decisions at the executive level with data, market intelligence, and clear point-of-view
  • Lead offer negotiations and candidate closing conversations, including managing competing offers, counter-offer scenarios, and complex compensation structures
  • Provide ongoing market intelligence: compensation benchmarks, talent mapping, competitor hiring trends, and AI talent landscape shifts
  • Track and report on pipeline metrics, conversion rates, and time-to-fill; maintain rigorous ATS hygiene (Greenhouse preferred)
  • Champion AI-forward recruiting practices — actively evaluate and adopt tools that improve sourcing quality, pipeline efficiency, and candidate assessment
  • Continuously improve hiring processes for speed, quality, and equity

Benefits
