Our team is sharp, motivated, and deeply committed to Rogo’s mission. We take ownership of complex problems and stay relentlessly focused on our users. If you thrive in a fast-paced environment, demand excellence, and want to help build the future of finance, we invite you to join us.

About the Role

We’re hiring an Engineering Recruiter to build the technical teams behind Rogo’s AI-native products for finance. As part of our founding San Francisco team, you’ll partner directly with our CTO and SF-based engineering leaders to grow the office and hire the engineers who will shape our next phase of growth.

You’ll own critical technical searches end-to-end and serve as a strategic partner to engineering leadership—shaping hiring priorities, defining what great looks like, and turning ambitious growth plans into exceptional hires. This is a hands‑on opportunity to build both a team and the recruiting practices that support it.

• Own critical technical searches: Drive full‑cycle recruiting across engineering disciplines, from search strategy and sourcing through assessment, offer negotiation, and close.

• Find and engage exceptional engineers: Map talent markets, build targeted pipelines, and develop relationships with engineers who aren’t actively looking. Craft outreach that connects their interests to the technical problems we’re solving.

• Advise engineering leadership: Bring market intelligence and pipeline insights to hiring decisions. Challenge assumptions, calibrate candidate profiles, and help leaders navigate tradeoffs.

• Build a rigorous interview process: Partner with interviewers to design assessments that reveal technical ability, judgment, and ownership. Drive clear feedback and timely decisions while maintaining a high bar.

• Close competitive candidates: Understand what matters to each candidate and partner with leadership to build a compelling case for joining Rogo.

• Strengthen our engineering presence: Build relationships in the SF technical community and help engineering leaders tell Rogo’s story through networks, events, and candidate conversations.

• Improve how we hire: Use recruiting data to identify bottlenecks and improve results. Manage agency partners where needed and deliver a thoughtful, responsive candidate experience throughout.

• 5+ years of technical recruiting experience, with a track record of hiring exceptional engineers for high‑growth technology companies

• Experience owning complex technical searches and closing candidates with competitive offers

• The credibility and judgment to advise senior engineering leaders and influence hiring decisions

• Strong technical fluency and the ability to understand engineering teams, skill sets, and candidate motivations

• Creative sourcing skills and a track record of building relationships with passive technical talent

• High ownership, strong execution, and comfort bringing structure to ambiguous hiring needs

• A disciplined, data‑informed approach to managing multiple searches

• Excitement about building our SF office alongside the engineering leaders and teams based there

• Experience recruiting in the Bay Area; AI/ML hiring experience is a plus

• You are ambitious. You have fun solving problems that others think are impossible.

• You are curious. You find joy in learning about AI, technology, and finance.
