Job description

About Hevo: At Hevo Data, we’re building the future of data infrastructure for AI. Over 2,000 companies across 40+ countries trust Hevo to power their analytics. As a deep tech company, our engineering team solves some of the hardest problems in data integration, scale, and reliability. We’re looking for a Senior Technical Recruiter who goes beyond keyword matching. We want someone who can understand the technology, assess candidates based on their past technical projects/work, and match them to the role we’re hiring for.

👉 If you can speak the language of engineers and help us identify the very best, let’s talk.

Job Responsibilities

• Partner with engineering leaders to understand what a great candidate for that role looks like in each technical role (SDE‑4, Staff Engineer, Principal Engineer).
• Evaluate candidate fitment by reviewing their past work, technical contributions, and problem‑solving approaches.
• Conduct structured technical conversations to pre‑assess candidates before formal interviews.
• Build and nurture long‑term pipelines of deep‑tech engineers in Backend, Frontend, DevOps, and Data Infra.
• Apply a systematic approach to target, network and engage with passive talent pools.
• Deliver an engaging candidate experience and be the brand ambassador for Hevo in this community of users.

Desired Candidate Profile

• 10+ years of technical recruiting experience with a focus on senior engineering roles.
• Ability to understand engineering depth—you don’t need to code, but you should be able to evaluate whether a backend engineer has built for scale, or if a DevOps engineer has automated infra at complexity.
• Track record of closing Staff/Principal-level hires at product or deep‑tech companies.
• Ability to assess candidates beyond resumes—by understanding their technical impact and role fit.
• Excellent storytelling skills to articulate Hevo’s vision to top engineers.
• Passion for technology and curiosity to dive into systems design, distributed infra, and cutting‑edge data problems.

Why Join Us

• Build the Force that Builds the Future of Data: At Hevo, we’re solving one of the hardest problems in data: building a reliable, scalable backbone for modern analytics. Your role is to assemble the team that makes this possible.
• Solve Hard Talent Problems: We’re hiring SDE‑4 to Principal Engineers in domains where top talent is scarce. You’ll lead the challenge of finding and convincing these engineers to join a fast‑rising deep‑tech product company.
• Partner with Engineering Leadership: You’ll work shoulder‑to‑shoulder with our founders and senior engineering leaders, not only to hire but to influence role design, bar‑setting, and long‑term team structure.
• Build a Talent Brand in the Data Space: Hevo is competing with companies globally. You’ll play a key role in building Hevo’s reputation among senior engineers through outreach, positioning, and community presence.
• Mentor TA Function: Coach and develop junior recruiters, embedding technical fluency and systematic hiring practices that will scale with Hevo.
