You'll work directly with our founders to:

• Own the full-cycle recruitment process, from sourcing to closing candidates.

• Build and maintain a strong pipeline of talent across engineering, product, GTM, etc.

• Ensure an outstanding candidate experience through clear communication and process improvements.

Requirements

• 1+ years of experience in engineering recruiting.

• Proven ability to source, engage, and close top-tier engineering talent.

• Ability to develop hiring strategies and execute on them independently.

• Start up experience or experience working in fast paced environments.

• Exceptional communication and relationship-building skills.

• Based in US or Canada.

How You’ll Grow

• Managing our recruiting stack including ATS platform (we use Ashby), sourcing tools, etc.

• Build and lead a recruiting team.

• Develop Infisical's brand and hiring processes and strategies from ground up.

Team, Values & Benefits

Our team brings experience from companies like Figma, AWS, and Red Hat. We operate primarily as a remote team but maintain a strong presence in San Francisco, where we have an office. We also get together in person throughout the year for off-sites, conferences, and team gatherings.
