Senior Technical Recruiter

$110k - $150k
Full-time

K2 Space

K2 is building the largest and highest-power satellites ever flown, unlocking performance levels previously out of reach across every orbit. Backed by $450M from leading investors including Altimeter Capital, Redpoint Ventures, T. Rowe Price, Lightspeed Venture Partners, Alpine Space Ventures, and others – with an additional $500M in signed contracts across commercial and US government customers – we’re mass-producing the highest-power satellite platforms ever built for missions from LEO to deep space.  

The rise of heavy-lift launch vehicles is shifting the industry from an era of mass constraint to one of mass abundance, and we believe this new era demands a fundamentally different class of spacecraft. Engineered to survive the harshest radiation environments and to fully capitalize on today’s and tomorrow’s massive rockets, K2 satellites deliver unmatched capability at constellation scale and across multiple orbits.  

With multiple launches planned through 2026 and 2027, we're Building Bigger to develop the solar system and become a Kardashev Type II (K2) civilization.  If you are a motivated individual who thrives in a fast-paced environment and you're excited about contributing to the success of a groundbreaking Series C space startup, we’d love for you to apply.  

The Role  

The K2 Space team is growing rapidly and we’re looking for a Senior Technical Recruiter that is committed to helping us build with stellar talent. As a Senior Technical Recruiter, you will partner directly with the leadership team to conduct workforce planning and then source, attract, identify, and close candidates across all functional areas of the business. As the second full-time member of the Recruiting team, you’ll also have the opportunity to help shape the Recruiting function as a whole. While you’ll have the support of experienced talent leaders, you’ll be expected to operate with a high degree of ownership and autonomy to help support our mission. This role requires in person presence at our headquarters in Torrance, CA.  

Responsibilities  


  • Partner closely with department leaders to do workforce planning and develop hiring strategies to help fill their needed growth targets with exceptional talent 

  • Proactively source and attract top talent by developing relationships with top university programs, labs, trade schools, and talent niches

  • Screen candidates and help increase awareness of K2 Space’s mission and talent brand 

  • Design and refine interview processes to increase confidence in candidate selection and reduce bias

  • Collaborate with the executive team to develop compelling closing strategies and resources

Qualifications  


  • Bachelor’s degree

  • 5+ years of professional experience as a recruiter

  • Experience recruiting for electrical, mechanical, and/or software engineering roles 

  • Full-cycle recruiting experience from sourcing through closing 

  • Experience supporting multiple high priority hiring needs concurrently 

  • Ability to communicate dynamically and build strong relationships with candidates and hiring partners 

Nice to Have  


  • 4+ years of experience recruiting for technical roles 

  • Strong experience in an organization with high-level regulations and compliance such as ITAR and OFCCP

  • Space or aerospace industry experience 

  • Prior success in a high-velocity and dynamic company 

  • Experience developing new or unique sourcing strategies

  • Experience interfacing with, coaching, and giving feedback to senior leaders 

  • Highly self-motivated with a sense of urgency and poised under pressure 

Compensation and Benefits:  


  • Base salary range for this role is $110,000 - $150,000 + equity in the company 

  • Salary will be based on several factors including, but not limited to: knowledge and skills, education, and experience level 

  • Comprehensive benefits package including paid time off, medical/dental/vision coverage, life insurance, paid parental leave, and many other perks 

If you don’t meet 100% of the preferred skills and experience, we encourage you to still apply! Building a spacecraft unlike any other requires a team unlike any other and non-traditional career twists and turns are encouraged!

If you need a reasonable accommodation as part of your application for employment or interviews with us, please let us know.

Export Compliance

As defined in the ITAR, “U.S. Persons” include U.S. citizens, lawful permanent residents (i.e., Green Card holders), and certain protected individuals (e.g., refugees/asylees, American Samoans). Please consult with a knowledgeable advisor if you are unsure whether you are a “U.S. Person.”

The person hired for this role will have access to information and items controlled by U.S. export control regulations, including the export control regulations outlined in the International Traffic in Arms Regulation (ITAR). The person hired for this role must therefore either be a “U.S. person” as defined by 22 C.F.R. § 120.15 or otherwise eligible for a federally issued export control license.

Equal Opportunity

K2 Space is an Equal Opportunity Employer; employment with K2 Space is governed on the basis of merit, competence and qualifications and will not be influenced in any manner by race, color, religion, gender, national origin/ethnicity, veteran status, disability status, age, sexual orientation, gender identity, marital status, mental or physical disability or any other legally protected status.
