Senior Recruiter, Engineering

About Treeswift

The way energy companies manage their infrastructure hasn't kept pace with the challenges they face. Treeswift is changing that, helping utilities modernize their field operations with AI-powered technology that reduces risk, improves reliability, and scales with the demands of a rapidly changing grid.

We deploy AI-powered sensor systems into utility field operations, mounted on backpacks and vehicles, to collect LiDAR and imagery data at scale. Our models turn that raw data into actionable intelligence: reducing wildfire, outage, and regulatory risk from vegetation; preventing cost overruns on new construction; and accelerating recovery after storms.

Since our first utility pilot in June 2024, we've grown to work with three of the five largest utilities in the United States. We're just getting started.

Our team brings deep experience from Penn, Caltech, CMU, Palantir, Stripe, and Oracle, and we're backed by leading investors including Penny Pritzker's Inspired Capital. We're headquartered in lower Manhattan with an office in Philadelphia and field presence across the country.

We're moving fast on a problem that matters. The work we do has real consequences for real people, and there's a lot of runway ahead. Come build it with us.

The Position:

Treeswift is looking for a Senior Recruiter to join our Recruiting team and drive our technical hiring as we scale. You'll work closely with our Lead Tech Recruiter, owning full-cycle Engineering searches end-to-end while also flexing into Business roles as hiring needs evolve.

You'll be a trusted partner to hiring managers across the company, helping them think clearly about what they need and moving quickly to get there.

This is a senior individual contributor role with real ownership. You'll help shape how Treeswift recruits - building out processes, improving candidate experience, and setting the bar for how we evaluate and attract talent as the team grows.

What You'll Do:

• Partner with the Lead Tech Recruiter and lead broader recruiting efforts across active searches while helping drive a smooth, organized, and high-quality candidate experience

• Own full-cycle recruiting for Engineering searches - from role scoping and sourcing strategy through offer negotiation and close

• Flex into Business function searches as priorities shift

• Build proactive candidate pipelines through LinkedIn, referrals and other creative sourcing channels - this is not just a reactive inbound role

• Partner closely with hiring managers to deeply understand role requirements, calibrate on candidates, and move searches forward with speed and clarity

• Drive an excellent candidate experience from first touch through offer - keeping candidates engaged, informed, and excited about Treeswift

• Own the integrity of our hiring data in Ashby - pipeline hygiene, reporting, and making sure stakeholders know where searches stand

• Contribute to how we evolve our recruiting practices: interview structure, evaluation frameworks, offer strategy, and beyond

• Represent Treeswift's brand and mission to every candidate you interact with

Who You Are:

• You have 5+ years of full-cycle recruiting experience, with meaningful time spent on technical/engineering roles. In-house experience at a high-growth startup or tech company preferred; agency background welcome if paired with in-house experience

• You've owned Engineering searches end-to-end and can hold your own in conversations with engineering leaders about what "good" looks like for a given role

• You're the connective tissue between candidates and hiring managers - keeping candidates engaged and moving through the process. Your internal partners always know where things stand, from pipeline status to upcoming offers to anything that could slow a search down.

• You're a strong sourcer who doesn't wait for inbound. You build pipelines intentionally and know how to reach candidates who aren't actively looking

• You're organized and operationally sharp - ATS hygiene, pipeline visibility, and stakeholder communication come naturally to you, not as afterthoughts

• You can flex between technical and business hiring without losing momentum on either and partner strongly with the People & Business Ops Team

• You've worked in fast-moving environments where priorities shift and processes are still being built — and you've thrived in that ambiguity rather than been slowed down by it

• You have strong instincts about people and the judgment to match candidates to roles, not just check boxes

• You are comfortable working in a fast-moving environment where priorities shift and processes are still being built

What We Offer:

• Equity

• Comprehensive medical, dental and vision insurance

• Unlimited vacation policy and company holidays

• Life insurance - basic life, supplemental life, and dependent life

• Disability leave - short-term disability and long-term disability

• Company paid parental leave

• Retirement savings - Traditional and Roth 401K plans

What We Value:

Mission first. We value team members who are focused on working towards the best outcomes for the customer and the business.

Curiosity. We are constantly learning – from each other and from our customers. We aren't afraid to learn we were wrong in the process and adapt our approach accordingly.

Owner's mindset. If you see an opportunity for improvement, run with it. We believe that good ideas can come from anywhere, no matter your role.
