• 7+ years of recruiting leadership experience with a deep focus on technical hiring across engineering, product, and adjacent functions
• Proven track record of building and scaling high-performing recruiting teams in fast-moving, high-growth environments

• Genuine AI-first orientation — fluency with modern tools and an excitement for continuous discovery as the landscape evolves, with a track record of bringing teams along on that journey
• Deep knowledge of technical compensation trends and market dynamics across global talent pools
• (Desirable) Background in technical recruiting with experience closing at the executive level
• (Desirable) Demonstrated track record of leveraging AI to meaningfully change how recruiting operates — not just as a tool user, but as someone who has built workflows, driven adoption, and raised the bar on what the function can do
• (Desirable) Experience designing and executing diversity recruiting programs with measurable outcomes
• (Desirable) Strong network within the technical recruiting and engineering talent community
• If you’re excited about a role but your past experience doesn’t align perfectly with every bullet point listed in the job description, we still encourage you to apply
