Technical Recruiter

$165k - $220k

Macmillan Davies

Lead Technical Recruiter | Series B AI company | San Francisco, on-site | $165k–$220k + equity
I'm working with a Series B AI company in San Francisco on their first Lead Technical Recruiter, a senior IC role with real ownership over how the engineering organisation gets built. They're scaling from around 100 to 200+ people, recruiting sits as a core business function rather than a support one, and this person will be embedded with engineering leadership and the founders, directly shaping the team building their AI agents.

What you'll be doing

Owning technical recruiting end to end across Product, Platform, Forward Deployed Engineering and AI/ML

Running senior, high-bar searches in competitive SF and NYC markets, from scoping ambiguous roles through to sourcing, pipeline, interviews and close

Making your first hire within roughly 45 days, then sustaining around two strong engineering hires a month

Protecting the hiring bar through high-signal screening, sharp debriefs and pushing back when quality slips

Personally sourcing for the hardest roles, while partnering with sourcers and improving referral quality

Using data and candidate feedback to diagnose pipeline or close issues and adjust in real time

Your background

5–10 years as a technical recruiter, with a track record closing senior engineers

Experience in high-growth tech or AI companies, ideally where you've built or shaped the process rather than inherited it

Comfortable partnering directly with engineering leaders and founders, bringing structure and judgement without needing direction

A quality over volume mindset and the credibility to sell calmly to senior candidates

What's on offer

The first dedicated technical recruiting hire, with real influence over how the function scales

Budget for modern recruiting tools, selective agency support and light shared sourcing resource

A strong engineering brand already in place

Full-time, five days a week on-site in San Francisco, with relocation support for anyone moving to the city
