Senior Technical Recruiter

Meet Slingshot

At Slingshot Aerospace, we’re on a mission to make space safer and more secure for everyone. Our work directly impacts global security, disaster response, climate monitoring, and the critical infrastructure that connects our world. We’re a team of builders, thinkers, and problem-solvers who believe that the next generation of space operations will be powered by better data and smarter software.

We move fast, we’re not afraid to fail, and we believe the best ideas can come from anywhere—whether you’re in engineering, sales, product, or operations. If you want to work on something that truly matters, with people who care deeply about the impact we’re making and help shape the future of an industry that’s just getting started, you’re in the right place.

As a Senior Technical Recruiter, you’ll own full-cycle recruiting for some of Slingshot’s most critical technical roles across Engineering and Technology. You’ll partner closely with engineering leaders to understand what their teams are building, translate complex technical needs into thoughtful recruiting strategies, and find exceptional talent in highly competitive markets.

This is not a role where you’ll simply take a job description and execute against it. We’re looking for someone who can become a trusted advisor to technical leaders, challenge assumptions when needed, bring talent market insights and data to the table, and independently drive searches from kickoff through close.

You’ll operate in an environment where priorities can shift quickly and the path forward is not always perfectly defined. You should be comfortable working through ambiguity, gathering the right information, assessing tradeoffs, and using data and sound judgment to make informed decisions. We want someone who knows when to move independently and when a situation requires additional partnership or escalation.

Strong processes matter to us. You’ll be expected to understand and consistently follow our recruiting practices while also recognizing opportunities to make them better. The right person understands that speed and process are not mutually exclusive and knows how to move quickly without sacrificing quality, consistency, candidate experience, or good judgment.

We’re building a team of sharp, creative people who love solving hard problems. We value curiosity over ego, initiative over waiting for permission, and people who genuinely care about doing great work. Bring your expertise, your fresh ideas, and your drive. We’ll bring the rocket fuel.
