Building such a team is no accident; it requires exceptional people and a thoughtful, high-integrity recruiting process. That’s why we care deeply about every candidate's experience and every hire.

Building a team like this doesn’t happen by accident—it requires exceptional recruiting and a deeply thoughtful candidate experience. That’s why recruiting is a first-class function at Nominal.

As a Technical Recruiter at Nominal, you’ll be a core partner to leaders across Engineering, Product, Growth, and Operations, helping build some of the most technically ambitious teams in hardware-adjacent software. You’ll own end-to-end hiring for 3–5 critical roles at a time

• Type 2:
  Creative, narrative-driven, and excited to invent new ways to reach mission-aligned talent
