Job description

Upwind is a next-generation Cloud Security Platform that leverages runtime context to identify and prioritize critical risks, providing precise insights and efficient cloud security management. Unlike traditional tools, Upwind uses runtime data proactively for risk prioritization and posture insights, ensuring teams focus on what truly matters. With industry-leading efficiency and eBPF-powered sensors, Upwind delivers comprehensive capabilities, including agentless cloud posture discovery, real-time threat protection, and integrated API security. We’re in a period of significant global growth. There’s an enormous amount to build, improve, and shape, and every hire has the opportunity to change the trajectory of the company.

About the Role

We’re looking for an exceptional Talent Acquisition Partner to join our growing global Talent team. This is not a role for someone who needs a fixed set of requisitions, one function, or one geography to be successful. We’re looking for a recruiter who thrives in a fast-moving environment, can shift gears quickly, and is excited to go wherever the business needs them most. One quarter, you may be building a GTM team in the US. The next, you could be supporting a critical leadership search, helping scale a new region, or partnering with another member of the global TA team on a completely different function. You’re agile, low ego, highly resourceful, and comfortable with ambiguity. You know how to prioritize when everything feels important, and you don’t wait for a perfect process or playbook before taking action. You know how to identify hard-to-find talent, engage passive candidates, build pipelines from scratch, and create momentum in competitive markets. This is an opportunity for someone who wants broad exposure, meaningful ownership, and the ability to directly influence how a global company scales. This is a remote U.S.-based role, with a preference for East Coast-based candidates.

What You’ll Do

• Own full-cycle recruiting across multiple functions, levels, and geographies.
• Flex across the business as hiring priorities evolve, quickly learning new markets, talent pools, and candidate profiles.
• Build high-quality pipelines from scratch through proactive sourcing, creative market mapping, referrals, networking, and modern AI-powered recruiting tools.
• Partner closely with hiring managers and leadership to deeply understand business needs, challenge assumptions, calibrate profiles, and drive hiring decisions.
• Operate with urgency and ownership, identifying bottlenecks and proactively moving searches forward rather than waiting for direction.
• Become a trusted talent advisor to the business, bringing market insights, candidate intelligence, and recommendations that help teams make better hiring decisions.
• Deliver a thoughtful, high-touch candidate experience from first interaction through close.
• Build and nurture long-term talent networks rather than approaching every search as a one-time transaction.
• Partner seamlessly with our global Talent team across the US, Israel, EMEA, and APJ, jumping in to support critical hiring needs wherever they emerge.
• Help us continuously improve how we recruit, from sourcing strategies and tooling to processes, reporting, and ways of working.
