- A track record of personally closing engineering hires at a high-growth tech company

- Strong experience with Ashby or a comparable ATS and structured interview processes

- Technical fluency, comfortable holding a conversation with an engineer about their work

- Prior experience at a startup that scaled past 100 employees
