Technical Recruiter

About The Role

As our first Technical Recruiter, you'll partner directly with our CTO to build our engineering team across Frontend, AI/ML, Data, Platform, and Security. This is a true 0→1 role where you'll own the entire recruiting function and build the foundation for our talent operations. You'll be embedded with our NYC-based engineering team, participating in onsite hiring loops and building deep relationships with the team you're hiring for.

• Source relentlessly – build pipeline for hard‑to‑fill technical roles through creative outreach, Boolean mastery, and tapping into technical communities (60%+ of the job).
• Own full‑cycle recruiting from sourcing through offer, partnering with our CTO on closing.
• Design and execute recruiting operations—Greenhouse optimization, interview training, metrics/reporting, candidate experience standards.
• Participate in onsite hiring loops as an interviewer and recruiting expert.
• Build sourcing playbooks and repeatable processes for our core engineering profiles.
• Occasionally recruit for non‑engineering roles (PM, possibly GTM later) as business needs dictate.
• Serve as talent advisor to hiring managers on role definition, leveling, compensation, and interview design.
• Track and optimize recruiting metrics—pipeline quality, time‑to‑fill, source of hire, offer acceptance rates.
• Build employer brand and recruiting presence in NYC's technical community.

• 3‑5+ years of full‑cycle technical recruiting experience, preferably at Series A/B startups.
• Exceptional sourcing skills – track record of finding passive candidates through compelling outreach, creative channels, and building relationships in technical communities.
• Experience building recruiting operations from scratch (you’ve been the first or second recruiter before).
• Versatility across engineering domains—comfortable recruiting for AI/ML, security, platform, and frontend engineers even if you haven’t done all of those before.
• High ownership and comfort with ambiguity—you don’t need a recruiting coordinator or heavy process infrastructure to be effective.
• Data‑driven approach to recruiting with experience tracking and optimizing key metrics.
• Startup mentality: ready to wear multiple hats, jump into unfamiliar territory, and move with urgency.
• Owner mentality: take end‑to‑end ownership of hiring outcomes, not just activities.
• Strong judgment on trade‑offs between speed and building for scale.
• Excellent communication skills and ability to partner effectively with technical leaders.

• Experience recruiting at fast‑growth startups or companies with strong engineering cultures.
• Background building recruiting presence and networks in NYC's technical community.
• Track record of driving creative sourcing strategies that differentiate in competitive markets.
• Previous experience in healthcare or complex enterprise systems.
• Familiarity with AI/ML hiring landscapes.

• Shape recruiting and culture at a critical inflection point (12 → 50 people).
• Partner directly with technical leadership on high‑impact hiring decisions.
• Build recruiting operations your way without legacy constraints.
• Be embedded with an exceptional engineering team in NYC.
• Join a team that values impact, velocity, and technical excellence.
