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

5+ 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.
