Job description

The Role

We're looking for a Technical Recruiter to join our Talent Acquisition team, focused exclusively on Engineering hiring. You'll be a strategic partner to hiring managers across Software Engineering, Data Engineering, Platform, and AI/ML — owning full‑cycle recruiting for some of the most technically complex and high‑impact roles at the company.

This isn't a coordinator role or a checkbox‑filler. You'll engage deeply with engineering leaders, build pipelines in markets where top talent is fiercely contested, and be a genuine ambassador for Sigma's mission and engineering culture.

What You’ll Do

• Own full‑cycle recruiting for engineering roles including Software Engineers (Frontend, Backend, Full‑Stack), Data Engineers, Platform/Infrastructure Engineers, and AI/ML Engineers
• Partner closely with Engineering leadership and hiring managers to deeply understand technical requirements, team dynamics, and business priorities — and translate those into sharp job positioning and sourcing strategies
• Build and maintain proactive talent pipelines through creative sourcing: LinkedIn, GitHub, conference networks, referral programs, niche communities, and more
• Craft compelling outreach that cuts through the noise and speaks to engineers authentically
• Lead structured interview processes and ensure a consistent, high‑quality candidate experience from first touch to offer
• Use data to drive decisions, tracking pipeline metrics, conversion rates, time‑to‑fill, and offer acceptance trends to continuously improve recruiting performance
• Contribute to employer branding efforts, including engineering blog content, tech meetups, and university partnerships
• Stay current on compensation benchmarks and partner with People Ops to make competitive, equitable offers
• Champion diversity and inclusion in every stage of the hiring funnel

What We’re Looking For

Required

• 3–6 years of full‑cycle technical recruiting experience, ideally at a high‑growth SaaS or data/AI company
• Demonstrated success hiring for software engineering roles in competitive markets (SF Bay Area, NYC, or remote)
• Strong sourcing skills across multiple channels; you don’t just wait for applicants
• Ability to understand and articulate technical concepts well enough to have credible conversations with engineers and hiring managers
• Data‑driven mindset: you track your funnel, know your numbers, and iterate based on results
• Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills; you can push back thoughtfully when needed
• Experience with modern ATS platforms (Greenhouse, Lever, or equivalent)

Nice to Have

• Experience recruiting for Data Engineering, AI/ML, or Platform/Infrastructure roles
• Familiarity with the cloud data warehouse ecosystem (Snowflake, Databricks, BigQuery, etc.)
• Background in both agency and in‑house recruiting
• Experience building or scaling a recruiting function at a Series B–D company
• Knowledge of equitable hiring practices and structured interviewing frameworks

Compensation

Base Salary Range: $125,000 – $140,000 USD (depending on experience and location) plus equity, annual bonus eligibility, and comprehensive benefits.

Benefits

• Equity
• Flexible time‑off policy – take the time you need!
• Paid bonding time for all new parents
• Traditional and Roth 401(k)
• Commuter and FSA benefits
• Lunch program
• Dog‑friendly office

Work Environment

In‑office work environment in all our offices in SF, NYC, and London.
