We are looking for a Technical Recruiter with 3-5 years of experience who has been the first or early recruiter at a high-growth startup and knows how to build recruiting from the ground up. You will join a YC-backed AI startup in financial services to own full-cycle technical hiring across engineering roles as we scale rapidly post-Series A.
What will you be doing?
- Owning full-cycle recruiting for technical roles (IC through exec-level engineers)
- Sourcing, screening, and closing top engineering talent in a competitive market
- Managing 4-5 open roles simultaneously with a hands-on, high-intensity approach
- Building and scaling recruiting processes, employer brand, and sourcing strategies from scratch
- Partnering closely with first-time hiring managers and educating them on recruiting best practices
- 3-5 years of technical recruiting experience at a high-growth startup (Series B or earlier preferred)
- Recent startup experience (within the last 3-5 years), not just large established companies
- Hands-on executor who sources, coordinates, and moves candidates through the pipeline themselves
- Has recruited software engineers specifically (not just hardware or non-tech roles)
- High intensity and scrappiness: comfortable with chaos, ambiguity, and selling an early-stage company
- Experience with LinkedIn Recruiter and modern ATS tools
