You will own full-cycle recruiting for a mix of high-volume and specialized technical roles, partner with senior engineering and technical leaders, build and maintain talent pipelines, lead complex offer negotiations, and serve as a trusted advisor to hiring managers. This role requires 5+ years of full-cycle technical recruiting experience, strong fluency in technical concepts, and a proven ability to recruit across a range of technical roles and disciplines.
