Technical Recruiter- NYC

Vendelux is building the category-defining platform for event marketing intelligence.

Events are one of the largest and most impactful marketing channels, yet historically one of the least measurable. Vendelux brings transparency and performance to this space — helping companies discover, evaluate, and optimize their event strategy with data.

Our platform powers thousands of event decisions by delivering proprietary, AI-driven insights across hundreds of thousands of events globally. At the core of our platform is a robust ecosystem of event organizer partnerships — where organizers share first-party data, enabling richer insights for customers while receiving benchmarking and audience intelligence in return. From identifying the highest ROI conferences to enabling targeted meeting programs, Vendelux helps companies turn events into a predictable and scalable growth engine.

In addition, Vendelux Meetings extends our platform by turning insights into pipeline — using AI to identify high-value attendees and proactively book 1:1 meetings between our customers and their ideal prospects at events. This enables go-to-market teams to drive measurable ROI and maximize every event interaction.

Founded in 2021, Vendelux is a Series B SaaS company backed by top-tier investors including FirstMark. We partner with many of the fastest-growing companies in the world, and our team includes leaders from Bain, ZoomInfo, Shutterstock, FanDuel, Compass, Airbnb, Forter and beyond.

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.
