About the Role

This is a Senior Technical Recruiter role built for someone who can move fluidly across our R&D disciplines (Engineering, Data Science, Security, and Platform Engineering), whatever's most critical that week. You won't be boxed into one team or one specialty. One day you're closing a Staff Software Developer, the next you're deep in a Security loop, the next you're building pipeline for a Data Science search that hasn't opened yet. If you thrive on variety and can context-switch without losing quality, this is your seat.

You build pipelines before roles even open, partner with hiring managers as a trusted advisor, and run hiring processes that are fast, sharp, and never compromise on talent. You set the tone. You keep momentum. You get it done.

What You'll Own

• Full-cycle recruiting across all of R&D - any team, any level, any complexity.

• Proactive pipeline building in niche, hard-to-fill technical spaces before a req exists, not after.

• Hiring strategy that actually moves the needle by partnering closely with Hiring Managers, HRBPs, and Finance on headcount, prioritization, and market reality.

• AI-forward sourcing and workflow using modern tooling to move faster, without losing the human touch candidates remember.

• Data-driven funnel management - tracking KPIs, catching risk early, and using signal (not gut feel) to sharpen strategy.

• Interview loops, debriefs, and closes run with clarity and care because every step counts.

• Coaching and raising the bar for junior recruiters and the broader team's hiring craft.

• Process and tooling improvements that scale, you don't just work in the system, you come up with ideas that make it better.

What You Bring

• 8+ years of full-cycle technical recruiting experience, with a track record of closing complex, senior, or niche searches independently.

• Hands-on Ashby experience is required, you’re comfortable using the platform and it's not just "an ATS”.

• Genuine versatility - proven ability to pivot across multiple technical domains (not just one specialty) without dropping quality or pace.

• Fluency with modern sourcing platforms and AI tooling, and a test-and-learn mindset to keep improving how you use them.

• The judgment to navigate ambiguity, calibrate hiring bars, and the confidence to push back when something doesn't add up.

• A talent for relationship-building; candidates and hiring managers trust you because you earn it, not because of a title.

Who You Are

• Hungry, proactive, and resourceful, you embody our values, not just recite them.

• Naturally curious about markets, talent pools, and what's changing in tech hiring.

• Adaptable, able to pivot quickly, change is fuel for you, not friction.

• Organized enough to run multiple complex searches at once without anything falling through the cracks.
