Technical Recruiter
About The Position
The Technical Recruiter will own and close priority technical searches, partnering directly with engineering leadership. This role involves carrying 6-8 technical searches full-cycle, focusing on backend, infrastructure/SRE, and data engineering roles.

Success in the first six months includes deeply understanding the business, owning calibrated scorecards and live pipelines, gaining trust from hiring managers, closing technical hires at a high bar, and ensuring searches move quickly with structured loops and same-week feedback.
