Senior Talent Acquisition Partner

We are building a new in-house recruiting function during a period of rapid growth across North America and Europe and looking for a Senior Technical Acquisition Partner who is motivated to help build from the ground up. This is a great opportunity to shape how we attract, engage, and hire world-class. AI mission-focused, talent in one of the most competitive markets today.

You will spend most of your time recruiting in the areas of AI, software engineering, embedded systems, product engineering/design, and Dev Ops.

You'll have real autonomy to partner directly with hiring managers and business stakeholders, while still operating as part of a cohesive, collaborative Talent team. You'll also work cross-functionally with business support functions — including People Ops, HR Business Partners, Security, Finance, and IT — to ensure every hire is seamless from first touch to first day and beyond.

This role is ideal for a full‑lifecycle recruiter who thrives in ambiguity, is energized by building rather than maintaining, and takes pride in delivering an exceptional candidate experience — even under high‑volume, high‑growth pressure.

• Own the full-cycle recruiting process including sourcing, attraction, screening, submission, interview scheduling, offer negotiation, and offer letter administration.
• Work across the areas of AI/ML, Software Engineering, Forward Deployed Engineering, Product Engineering/Design, and Dev Ops in both the Commercial and Public Sector spaces.
• Partner directly with hiring managers and business stakeholders to understand hiring needs, define role requirements, and build effective sourcing and interview strategies.
• Proactively source and build talent pipelines for highly specialized, competitive technical talent, using creative and diverse sourcing channels.
• Deliver a consistently high‑quality candidate experience at every touchpoint, acting as an ambassador for the company brand in a competitive talent market.
• Help implement new recruiting processes, workflows, and best practices as an early member of a newly formed in‑house TA team.
• Collaborate cross‑functionally with business support functions — People Ops, HRBPs, Security, Finance, and IT — to ensure smooth requisition approvals, background checks, compliance steps, and onboarding handoffs.
• Manage offer negotiations and extend offer letters, balancing candidate expectations with internal compensation frameworks.
• Maintain compliance with EEOC regulations and other applicable employment laws throughout the recruiting lifecycle.
• Track and report on recruiting metrics to inform hiring strategy and continuously improve process efficiency.
• Act as a trusted advisor to hiring managers on market trends, talent availability, and competitive positioning within the AI and technical talent space.
• Support the scaling of the recruiting function as hiring volume and team structure evolve across North America and Europe.

• 5+ years of full‑lifecycle recruiting experience, with a strong track record recruiting for technical roles.
• Demonstrated experience recruiting in one or more of the following spaces: AI/ML, Software Engineering, Forward Deployed Engineers, Product Management, Product Design, and/or Dev Ops.
• Experience working within the Public Sector and highly cleared positions up to TS/SCI FSP.
• Ability to manage a high‑volume requisition load while maintaining candidate experience quality and attention to detail.
• Proven ability to partner directly with hiring managers and senior stakeholders as a strategic advisor, not just an order‑taker.
• Experience building or actively contributing to recruiting processes in a growing or newly formed team environment.
• Strong sourcing skills across multiple channels (Linked In Recruiter, Boolean search, Git Hub, niche technical communities, etc.).
• Solid working knowledge of EEOC compliance and general employment law as it relates to recruiting practices.
• Excellent communication, negotiation, and stakeholder management skills.
• Comfortable operating with autonomy while collaborating within a broader TA team structure.
