Job description

We are not here to blend in. We are here to redefine what observability means and how it is delivered.

groundcover has built a radically different approach to cloud-native observability that competitors can’t match.

As a part of our People, you won’t just sell and market a product, you’ll help reshape the narrative of the category so the world understands why groundcover is the clear, modern choice for engineering and operations teams.

groundcover is a fast-growing Series C startup delivering the industry’s most modern observability platform for cloud-native environments. Powered by BYOC and eBPF and designed for Kubernetes from day one, our platform delivers full stack observability with dramatically lower cost, operational overhead, and complexity.

As systems evolve toward AI powered services and LLM based applications, observability must evolve with them. groundcover is built for this reality, enabling teams to understand performance, reliability, and behavior across microservices, infrastructure, and AI workloads.

We’re not chasing category leaders - we’re redefining the category.

We’re a global people team that likes to grow and develop teams, support and build global people initiatives - and we do this together.

We’re looking for a Talent Acquisition Partner to join our team.

In this role, you’ll drive end-to-end recruiting focusing mostly on GTM roles maintaining speed, quality, and exceptional candidate experience at every stage. We are experiencing exciting, rapid growth, and this is a unique opportunity to truly make an impact and take part in building the engine that drives our Go-To-Market success and shaping our culture from the ground up.

Hybrid – Boston, MA / San Francisco, CA (Open to NY-based candidates)

What You’ll Do

• Full-Cycle Ownership: Own the full-cycle recruitment process across multiple roles, focus on GTM hiring.

• Candidate Experience: Serve as the genuine face of the company, delivering an exceptional, transparent, and engaging experience for every candidate you interact with.
• Hiring Partner to the US teams: Work side-by-side with the hiring managers to deeply understand team needs and define hiring strategies.
• AI-Powered Efficiency: Identify AI sourcing tools and technologies to improve talent discovery, research depth, and outreach personalization.
• Data-Driven hiring: Track and report on key hiring metrics and use insights to continuously optimize the process.
• Global Teamwork: Work closely with the global People team to share ideas, learn from each other, and help shape our talent strategy together.

Requirements

• 4-5 years of full-cycle recruiting experience, with a strong focus on GTM roles in high-growth SaaS or developer tools companies.
• Proven track record of sourcing and closing exceptional GTM talent with the creative sourcing skills needed to find and engage hard-to-find candidates.
• Be a People person. Exceptional interpersonal skills, with a proven ability to deliver an authentic, high-touch candidate experience and build trusted, strategic partnerships with hiring managers.
• AI tools proficiency: hands-on experience leveraging AI to improve sourcing efficiency, research depth, and outreach personalization.
• A data-driven approach, with experience tracking recruitment metrics and building pipeline reports to extract actionable insights and optimize hiring.
• Proficiency with ATS platforms and modern recruiting tools - Comeet ATS experience is a plus.
• In depth knowledge of US employment laws, comp & Ben benchmarks, ensuring our hiring practices are both competitive and compliant.

You’ll Thrive Here If You

• Want to build, not just maintain. You’re energized by the challenge of scaling an organization, growing our teams, and seeing the direct impact of your hires on the company's success.
• Are driven by hiring excellence, not just numbers. You treat candidate experience as a top priority and strive to create a seamless, high-touch process while ensuring we bring in top-tier talent that truly elevates our teams.
