ABOUT THE ROLE
We’re looking for an exceptional Technical Recruiter to own full-cycle recruiting for hard-to-fill engineering roles. You’ll report to the VP of People and be responsible for sourcing strategy, candidate quality, hiring manager partnership, and closing outcomes.
As a lean, fast-moving startup, this role will also flex to support hiring across other functions as business needs evolve. You’ll partner closely with founders and leaders, operate with high autonomy, and be expected to deliver results in a highly competitive talent market.
WHAT YOU’LL DO
- Own full-cycle recruiting from sourcing through offer acceptance across multiple roles and engineering specializations
- Partner closely with engineering and leadership to deeply understand technical needs, team context, and success profiles
- Source and engage passive engineering candidates through creative and targeted outreach
- Run structured, high-signal interview processes that balance speed with quality
- Deliver a strong candidate experience with clear, timely communication
- Use data to track pipeline health, identify bottlenecks, and improve hiring outcomes
- Close candidates in competitive situations, often against well-funded companies
WHAT YOU’LL BRING
- 4+ years of experience recruiting engineers in fast-growing tech companies
- Proven success hiring for difficult, competitive, or highly technical roles
- Strong sourcing skills — you enjoy the hunt and don’t rely on inbound alone
- High technical curiosity; you don’t need to code but can confidently engage with engineers
- Experience in startup or high-growth environments where speed and quality both matter
- Strong stakeholder management skills, with the ability to push back and drive alignment
- Clear, direct communication style with a bias for ownership and results
NICE TO HAVE
- Experience recruiting for infrastructure, platform, data, or backend-heavy teams
- Web3, blockchain, or cryptocurrency recruiting experience

- Remote-first flexibility: Work from wherever you’re most effective
- Competitive compensation & perks: Market-leading salary, meaningful equity, generous vacation, wellness budgets, and learning/travel support
