About The Position

As a Talent Acquisition Partner (Technical) at vCluster Labs, you aren't just filling open requisitions; you are the architect of our engineering capability. In this role, you will serve as the primary ambassador to the technical community, identifying and attracting the builders who will shape the future of Kubernetes virtualization.
You will have the unique opportunity to partner directly with Engineering and Product leadership to execute a modern, data-driven hiring strategy that prioritizes speed and precision over volume.

Requirements

• Experience: You have 3+ years of full-cycle recruiting experience, specifically for technical roles (Software Engineering, DevOps/Platform, Product) within a high-growth tech startup.
• Technical Fluency: You speak the language. You understand the difference between a container and a cluster, and you are comfortable discussing technologies like Kubernetes, Go, and Terraform with candidates.
• A "Builder" Mindset: You are comfortable operating in ambiguity and enjoy refining processes to make them more efficient.
• Data-Centric Approach: You value results over tasks. You use data and analytics to track pipeline health and inform decision-making.
• High EQ & Active Listening: You are an effective communicator who listens genuinely to understand the perspectives of both candidates and hiring managers.

Nice To Haves

• ATS Proficiency: Experience with Ashby.
• Domain Expertise: Experience recruiting for open-source technology, developer tools, or Kubernetes-focused companies.
• Global Reach: A background in hiring for distributed/remote-first teams.

Responsibilities

• Full-Cycle Technical Recruiting: Own the end-to-end hiring process for Engineering, Product, and Technical roles globally. You will guide candidates from the initial talent screen through to the offer stage, ensuring a seamless flow.
• Strategic Sourcing: Proactively source and engage passive talent from the open-source, Kubernetes, and developer tool communities. You will build high-quality pipelines so we do not rely solely on inbound applicants for critical technical roles.
• Data-Driven Execution: Champion our structured interview process. You will ensure scorecards are utilized effectively to reduce bias, maintaining strict data integrity within our ATS (Ashby) to inform hiring decisions.
• Candidate Experience: Drive an exceptional experience by ensuring transparent communication. You will treat candidates with "customer-centric speed," ensuring decisions are made in days, not months.
• Partnership: Collaborate with Hiring Managers to define technical requirements and ideal talent profiles, moving beyond "order taking" to act as a true consultant on market trends and closing strategies.

Benefits

• Competitive Salary: We offer a competitive compensation package, including equity.
• Platinum-Level Insurance: Health, dental, vision, and life Insurance, including plans for you and eligible dependents (benefits vary depending on country).
• Flexible Working Schedule: You have a doctor’s appointment or need to head to the supermarket to get groceries at 2pm? We won’t have an issue with that. To us, results matter more than clocking in and out at the same time every day.
• Workplace Flexibility: We’re very flexible about where you work. We know things can change in life and we’re happy to adjust the work environment for you along the way.
