Senior Technical Recruiter

Fetch•Reston, VA

About The Position

We are hiring a Senior Technical Recruiter to own full-lifecycle hiring for Fetch’s AI, Data, and Engineering organizations. This role is not about running side projects or maintaining processes for process’s sake. It is about placing the most business-critical technical talent in the company. You will operate as a strategic hiring partner to senior engineering and data leaders, responsible for filling high-impact, high-bar roles that directly influence Fetch’s product velocity, platform scale, and AI roadmap. The scope spans Machine Learning, Data Science, Data Engineering, Platform, Mobile, and Backend Engineering, and beyond. This is a seat for a recruiter who wants to influence org design through hiring and be trusted with roles where “getting it wrong” is not an option. You will own roles end-to-end, advise leaders on talent tradeoffs, and bring clarity to ambiguous hiring problems. This is a full-time role that can be held from one of our US offices or remotely in the United States.
