Senior Technical Recruiter

About the role
We’re hiring a Senior Technical Recruiter to help scale our engineering and technical teams in a fast paced, high-growth start-up. This role is ideal for someone who thrives in early-to-mid stage environments, enjoys building from scratch, and acts as a true thought partner to hiring managers. You’ll own full-cycle recruiting for critical technical roles and help establish hiring foundations that balance speed, quality, and candidate experience as the company scales.

What you’ll do

• Own end-to-end recruiting for technical roles across engineering, infrastructure, data, and product-adjacent teams.
• Partner closely with engineering leaders to define roles, calibrate scope and seniority, and align on hiring priorities.
• Design and execute proactive sourcing strategies for hard-to-fill roles using outbound, referrals, and targeted market mapping.
• Screen candidates with a strong technical lens, assessing both depth of expertise and ability to succeed in a startup environment.
• Act as a trusted advisor to hiring managers, providing guidance on talent market conditions, compensation expectations, and tradeoffs.
• Manage candidate experience from first touch through offer close, ensuring clear communication and strong engagement.
• Drive process improvements across candidate outreach, interviewing, calibration, and closing to support fast but thoughtful hiring.
• Track pipeline health, identify hiring risks early, and communicate clearly with stakeholders.
• Partner with People and Finance Teams to support headcount planning and scalable recruiting practices.

What we’re looking for

• 5+ years of technical recruiting experience, ideally within B2B SaaS startups or high-growth tech companies.
• Proven ability to hire senior and specialized technical talent (backend, platform, infrastructure, machine learning).
• Strong outbound sourcing skills and comfort engaging passive candidates.
• Ability to understand complex technical roles and translate them into compelling candidate narratives.
• High ownership mindset with the confidence to challenge assumptions and influence decisions.
• Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills.
• Comfortable working in ambiguity, shifting priorities, and lean team environments.
• Passion for building teams and processes, not just filling roles.

Plenful perks

• Comprehensive Benefits Package: Enjoy unlimited PTO, fully covered health insurance (medical, dental, and vision),  meal stipend, health & wellness stipend, 401(k) matching, and stock options.
• Mission-Driven, World-Class Team: Join an exceptional group of professionals aligned around a meaningful mission and committed to making an impact.
• Opportunities for Growth: Strengthen your partnership expertise through collaboration with experienced, high-performing leaders across the organization.
• Flexible Fully Remote Work Environment: Fully remote opportunity with opportunities to get together for in person meet-ups.
