9. Help build our employer brand across EMEA and APAC through storytelling, events, and creative candidate engagement.
10. Contribute to recruiting operations, process improvement, and TA initiatives as we scale globally.

What You Bring

1. 4+ years of technical recruiting experience, ideally in scaling tech teams internationally.
2. Deep understanding of talent markets in EMEA (especially UK, Poland, Germany, Portugal, Netherlands), and an openness to learning about Australia and Taiwan talent landscapes.
3. Experience hiring for Engineering, Product, and/or Data roles in high-growth or startup environments.
4. Excellent communication skills and cultural fluency-you know how to connect with candidates and stakeholders across time zones and backgrounds.
5. Strong sourcing skills and comfort navigating complex hiring markets.
6. Experience with applicant tracking systems (Lever preferred).
7. Highly organized, self-motivated, and comfortable working across geographies and ambiguity.
8. Bachelor's degree or equivalent experience.
