• Manage the end-to-end candidate experience from initial outreach through offer

• Improve hiring processes, calibration, and technical interview quality

• Contribute to talent market insights and hiring strategy

• 6+ Experience recruiting for software engineering roles in fast-paced or high-growth environments

• Demonstrated success hiring across full-stack, embedded systems, and/or firmware roles

• Strong understanding of software engineering fundamentals and technical hiring landscapes

• Experience partnering with engineering leads and hiring managers (director to senior IC level)

• Ability to operate independently while escalating edge cases appropriately

• Experience in robotics, AI, or deep tech environments preferred
