Senior Technical Recruiter, Engineering

Why Hover wants you

Hover's engineering organization is nearly 100 people strong and growing, building enterprise and consumer AI products at the intersection of computer vision, 3D reconstruction, computational geometry, and modern product engineering. We're looking for a seasoned Technical Recruiter to own full-cycle hiring for this team and become the trusted talent partner to our Head of Engineering and his leadership group. This is a rare seat for someone who wants to shape not just who joins Hover's engineering team, but how Hover recruits — with real license to bring AI tools and modern practice into the way we hire, end to end.

You'll own full-cycle recruiting for Hover's Engineering organization — partnering directly with our Head of Engineering and his leadership team to build sourcing strategy, run structured interview loops, and close offers for roles spanning senior engineers through engineering leadership. You'll build and execute outbound sourcing campaigns using Linked In Recruiter, Juicebox, and AI-assisted sourcing tools, and you'll act as a strategic advisor to hiring managers by shaping hiring strategy, calibrating interview process, and using market data to guide decisions.

Beyond running the tools we already have, you'll have real room to build your own, whether that's a custom sourcing agent, a referral miner, or something else that makes the job faster and sharper. You'll also coach the engineering leaders you partner with, helping them grow into genuinely great interviewers and hiring partners in their own right, not just participants in someone else s process.

• Full-Cycle Ownership: Own full-cycle recruiting for Hover's ~100-person Engineering organization, currently supporting 10+ open roles.
• Hiring Manager Partnership: Partner directly with Hover's Head of Engineering and senior engineering leaders as a strategic hiring advisor.
• Sourcing Strategy: Build and run sourcing strategy across Linked In Recruiter, Juicebox (AI sourcing platform), referrals, and outbound campaigns that start with thorough market mapping.
• Hiring Excellence: Drive hiring manager calibration, interview debriefs, and data-informed hiring decisions.
• AI & Ops Innovation: Bring AI tools and workflow automation into day-to-day recruiting operations.

• 7+ years of deep experience in full-cycle technical recruiting supporting software engineering organizations across multiple levels (senior IC through engineering management)
• Strong sourcing expertise with a track record building pipelines for hard-to-fill technical roles like Computer Vision, Machine Learning, and other specialized engineering roles
• Experience as a strategic partner to hiring managers — shaping hiring strategy, not just executing search requests
• Background in high-growth or scaling technology companies, comfortable with ambiguity and shifting priorities
• Proficiency with modern recruiting tools, including an ATS (Greenhouse preferred), Linked In Recruiter, and outreach/CRM platforms (Juicebox, Gem, Ashby, or similar)
• Demonstrated, hands-on use of AI tools (e.g., ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, etc.) to improve sourcing, candidate engagement, and recruiting operations
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the judgment to represent Hover's brand directly to candidates
• Genuine curiosity about technology and engineering, with the ability to learn complex technical domains quickly and engage credibly with engineering candidates and leaders
• Passion for building exceptional engineering teams, with a proactive, high-quality approach to sourcing and a relentless focus on candidate experience
