Event marketers are the driving force behind pipeline and brand — yet events remain one of the least optimized and most opaque marketing channels. Vendelux changes that. We provide the system of record for event marketing, giving teams the data and insights they need to make smarter, more strategic decisions. Our AI-powered platform delivers proprietary insights across 250,000+ events, helping high-growth companies identify where their ideal customers will be, maximize ROI, and turn events into a scalable growth channel. Customers often describe Vendelux as an event marketer’s dream. A key part of this is our growing network of event organizer partnerships — where organizers share first‑party attendee and sponsorship data, and in return gain access to valuable market insights. In addition, Vendelux Meetings helps customers turn event insights into action — using AI to identify high‑value attendees and automatically book 1:1 meetings with the right prospects at conferences. This allows teams to maximize pipeline generation and make every event materially more impactful. Founded in 2021, Vendelux is a Series A SaaS company backed by leading investors including FirstMark, with a recent $14M round. Our team brings experience from companies like Bain, ZoomInfo, Airbnb, FanDuel, Shutterstock, Compass and more. Responsibilities Own full‑cycle recruiting for software engineering roles across all levels — sourcing, screening, coordinating, and closing candidates. Partner closely with engineering managers and founders to develop a deep understanding of technical requirements, team culture, and hiring bar for each role. Build and maintain a robust pipeline of qualified engineering candidates through proactive outbound sourcing, referrals, and community engagement. Craft compelling, tailored outreach that resonates with technical talent and clearly communicates our mission and engineering culture. Drive a structured, consistent interview process — define evaluation criteria, train interviewers, and ensure a high‑quality candidate experience from first contact to offer. Manage and negotiate competitive offers with a strong understanding of compensation benchmarks in the current market. Track recruiting metrics — pipeline health, time‑to‑fill, source effectiveness — and use data to continuously improve funnel performance. Help shape and evolve recruiting processes, tooling, and employer branding as the company scales. Requirements 5+ years of recruiting experience, with a minimum of 5 years in‑house at a tech company — agency experience is a plus, but significant in‑house exposure is required. Demonstrated experience recruiting software engineers across a range of disciplines (backend, frontend, fullstack, infrastructure, ML/AI, etc.). Prior experience at early‑stage startups (Seed through Series B); comfortable navigating ambiguity, shifting priorities, and high‑velocity environments. Strong technical literacy — able to understand engineering job requirements, speak credibly with candidates about the stack and role, and accurately evaluate technical backgrounds. Proven track record of filling hard‑to‑hire senior engineering roles through creative, proactive sourcing — not just inbound. Experience working autonomously without a large TA team or recruiting infrastructure; a scrappy, self‑sufficient approach to tooling and process. Exceptional communication and relationship‑building skills — with candidates, hiring managers, and cross‑functional partners. Familiarity with modern ATS platforms and sourcing tools (Greenhouse, Lever, LinkedIn Recruiter, etc.). Not all candidates will check all of the requirements listed above and that’s ok! We are open to great people from non‑traditional backgrounds. Vendelux is proud to be an equal opportunity workplace. We are committed to equal opportunity regardless of race, color, ancestry, religion, gender, gender identity, parental or pregnancy status, national origin, sexual orientation, age, citizenship, marital status, disability, or veteran status.
