At Avoca, we believe compensation should reflect the value people bring and set them up to share in what we're building. Our total compensation package includes a competitive base salary, equity, and a comprehensive benefits suite covering medical, dental, and vision insurance, a company-sponsored 401(k), flexible PTO, and daily in-office meals. Final compensation is determined by experience, skills, and qualifications, and our recruiting team will walk you through the full details as you move through the process.

Avoca is transforming how home service companies engage with their customers. Our AI-powered conversational agents handle every high-value inbound call, from booking jobs, qualifying leads, and driving higher revenue, all at a speed and consistency unmatched by human call centers.
We're a Series B startup backed by Kleiner Perkins, Meritech Capital, General Catalyst, and other top-tier investors, with $125M raised and a $1B valuation. We grew 10x in 2025 and have scaled to 130+ employees in under two years across our NYC headquarters and Santa Barbara office.
In a $1T+ market where 85% of missed calls go to competitors, we're building the category-defining platform for AI-driven customer engagement, serving the largest brands in home services. With high-energy, in-office teams in both locations, every hire here has an immediate and visible impact.

We're looking for a Technical Recruiter to own full-cycle hiring for our Engineering and Product teams. You'll partner directly with hiring managers and leadership to build the technical bench that powers Avoca's next stage of growth. This is a high-ownership, high-visibility role at a company scaling fast — you'll help define our technical hiring bar, build repeatable processes from the ground up, and close candidates in a competitive market.

• Own full-cycle recruiting for technical roles (software engineering and technical product roles) from sourcing through offer close.
• Partner closely with engineering leaders and hiring managers to define role requirements, calibrate interview loops, and build scorecards.
• Proactively source and build pipelines of top-tier technical talent through outbound sourcing, referrals, and creative channels — not just inbound applicants.
• Act as a trusted advisor to candidates, clearly articulating Avoca's mission, momentum, and opportunity to win top talent against competing offers.
• Drive a fast, high-quality candidate experience end-to-end, including screening, coordinating interviews, and managing offer negotiations.
• Build and refine scalable recruiting processes, tools, and metrics as Avoca continues to grow headcount rapidly.
• Use data to track pipeline health, funnel conversion, and time-to-fill, and adjust strategy accordingly.
• Represent Avoca's employer brand across sourcing channels, networking events, and the broader technical community.

• 5+ years of full-cycle technical recruiting experience - ideally at high‑growth startups.
• Proven track record hiring software engineers, ML/AI talent, or similar technical roles at a fast‑scaling company.
• Strong sourcing chops — you know how to find and engage passive candidates, not just manage inbound.
• Excellent judgment in assessing technical talent and partnering with engineering leaders on hiring decisions.
• A sense of urgency and ownership; you thrive in a fast‑paced, high‑growth environment where priorities shift quickly.
• Sharp communication and negotiation skills, with the ability to sell candidates on Avoca's mission and trajectory.
• Comfortable operating with a high degree of autonomy and building process where none exists yet.
• A bias toward action and in-person collaboration — this is an in‑office role at our NYC headquarters.

• Experience recruiting at a company that scaled from Series B to Series C/D.
• Familiarity with modern sourcing and ATS tooling (e.g., Ashby, Linked In Recruiter, Juicebox).

At Avoca, you’ll be part of a team that’s building a category-defining company at the center of a massive market opportunity. We’re a fast‑moving, collaborative team with a culture designed for builders who thrive on speed, iteration, and impact.

Avoca provides equal employment opportunities to applicants and employees without regard to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, protected veteran status, or disability.
