About the Role

We are looking for a tech-savvy, proactive Technical Talent Acquisition Specialist to help us identify, engage, and hire world-class engineering talent. In this role, you’ll serve as the primary bridge between high-caliber candidates and our engineering leadership, shaping our talent pipeline and driving our growth trajectory.

If you can translate engineering jargon, know where developers actually hang out online (beyond just LinkedIn), and take pride in delivering an exceptional candidate experience, we want to hear from you!

Key Responsibilities

• Targeted Sourcing: Proactively identify and engage passive technical talent across LinkedIn Recruiter, GitHub, Stack Overflow, tech communities, and niche job boards using advanced Boolean search techniques.

• Screening & Assessment: Conduct thorough initial interviews to evaluate candidates on technical baseline, cultural alignment, career aspirations, and compensation expectations.

• Process Orchestration: Partner closely with engineering managers to streamline the hiring funnel—from scheduling technical assessments and panel interviews to gathering feedback quickly.

• Candidate Advocacy: Act as the main point of contact for candidates, ensuring transparent communication, rapid feedback loops, and an outstanding candidate journey from first touch to offer.

• Offer Management & Closing: Assist with structuring job offers, navigating salary negotiations, and driving high acceptance rates while facilitating smooth handoffs to onboarding.

• Data-Driven Hiring: Maintain clean, accurate data within our Applicant Tracking System (ATS) to track core metrics (time-to-hire, pipeline health, source quality) and continuously optimize processes.

Qualifications & Requirements

• Experience: 2+ years of full-lifecycle technical recruitment or specialized tech sourcing experience (agency or in-house).

• Tech Literacy: A solid grasp of technical ecosystems, role nuances, and modern tech stacks (e.g., Python, React, Java, Cloud Infrastructure, DevOps).

• Sourcing Expertise: Proven track record utilizing LinkedIn Recruiter, Boolean queries, and non-traditional sourcing channels to uncover hard-to-find talent.

• Communication: Exceptional verbal and written communication skills with the ability to build rapport quickly with both engineers and executive stakeholders.

• Execution & Organization: Strong project management and prioritization skills, with a proven ability to manage multiple open requisitions concurrently in a fast-paced environment.

Nice-to-Haves

• Prior experience working directly with modern ATS platforms (e.g., Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby).

• Active involvement or network within local or online tech communities and meetups.
