Job description

In the cloud, every second counts. On the leading edge of security, Sysdig stops attacks in real-time by instantly detecting changes in cloud security risk with runtime insights and open source Falco. Trusted by a large enterprise customer base, we are a well-funded startup, passionate open source enthusiasts at heart, and problem-solvers who are building and delivering powerful solutions to secure cloud-native applications.

We have an organizational focus on delivering value to customers. We appreciate diverse opinions and open dialogue to spur ideas. We believe in working together to achieve our goals, and we pride ourselves on a flexible work culture. We're an international company that understands how to cultivate an inclusive environment across remote teams.

And we're a great place to work too - we've been named a "Best Places to Work" by Inc, the San Francisco Business Times, and Built In, with recognitions ranging from "Best Benefits" to a "Best Company for Happiness".

We are looking for driven team members who want to join us on our mission to lead cloud security globally. Does this sound like the right place for you?

What you will do

1. Manage the end-to-end recruiting process for GTM (Sales, Customer Success, Marketing), Software Engineering, Security Engineering, and G&A roles — from intake to close.
2. Act as a true execution business partner to hiring managers: building role scorecards, aligning on sourcing profiles, and delivering highly qualified candidates.
3. Drive hands-on sourcing and prospecting efforts across platforms like GitHub, Stack Overflow, LinkedIn Recruiter, SeekOut, AmazingHiring, HireEZ, and more.
4. Craft tailored outreach messages, build talent maps, talent insights, and own top-of-funnel activity for hard-to-fill technical and GTM business-critical roles.
5. Use Lever (ATS) to maintain clean, timely data and produce weekly reporting on pipeline health and funnel metrics.
6. Coordinate candidate touch points across multiple roles and locations.

What you will bring with you

1. 7+ years of in-house, full-cycle recruiting experience — with recent hands-on focus across GTM, Software Engineering, Security Engineering, and G&A roles, within the cybersecurity SaaS domain.
2. Deep fluency in modern sourcing techniques and platforms (e.g., GitHub, Stack Overflow, SeekOut, LinkedIn Recruiter, Dev.to, HireEZ).
3. Comfortable operating without recruiting sourcing support.
4. Hands-on ATS experience (Lever preferred) and high standards for data hygiene and process consistency.
5. Ability to work onsite in Raleigh and collaborate cross-functionally with urgency and autonomy.

What we look for

1. A tactical recruiter who thrives in tech and GTM hiring.
2. You're comfortable building high-quality ongoing pipelines for Sales Engineers, Account Executives, SDRs, LDRs, and Customer Success Engineers.
3. You enjoy working on your own pipeline, without a sourcer.
4. You're a strong communicator who keeps hiring managers and candidates updated.
5. You take pride in filling hard roles with resourcefulness, speed, and quality.

The U.S. hourly range for this contractor position is $64 USD/hour. Actual offers may be higher or lower than this range based on a variety of factors, including your work location, job-related experience, and education.

We would love for you to join us! Please reach out even if your experience doesn't perfectly match the job description. We can always explore other options after starting the conversation. Your background and passion will set you apart, especially if your career path is different.
