About This Role:
Read the full description
A lot of technical recruiting jobs at startups are a sprint: a big hiring push, a pile of reqs, then a hiring freeze and a reorg. This isn't that. Our engineering hiring is steady and it's going to stay that way, so we want someone who'd rather go deep with a handful of engineering teams than churn through whatever's on fire this week. The tradeoff: you'll be expected to actually understand what you're hiring for and how your work impacts the business overall. You'll be a Talent Business Partner to the LiveKit team.
You'll thrive as a Senior Technical Recruiter if you:
* are known as the go-to person for tackling tough problems
* are focused on polish, detail and quality
* are a fast learner, frequently picking up new tips, tricks, and skills
The best way to impress us is with thoughtful ways you'd implement AI in the recruiting process 😊
What You'll Do
* Own 8-10 engineering and technical searches end to end, from kickoff to signed offer
* Partner with engineering hiring managers on what the role really needs, and push back when the requirements don't match the market
* Source hard: find the infra, backend, SDK, and AI engineers who aren't looking, and give them a reason to talk to us
* Understand what candidates are motivated by and create a strategy to get them there
* Build pipelines for the roles we hire for again and again, so new reqs don't start from zero
* Run an honest, authentic and clear process emphasizing candidate experience that people talk about, even the ones we don't hire
* Help build the systems the Talent team runs on, from sourcing playbooks to interview kits
Who You Are
* 5+ years of full-cycle technical recruiting, mostly in-house
* You've owned senior and staff-level engineering searches and closed them
* You can hold a real conversation with an engineer about their work
* You source proactively and know how to build and sustain a strong bench.
* You've recruited for infrastructure, developer tools, open source, or AI companies
* You've built or rebuilt a recruiting process from scratch
* You know how to win top talent, even when competing against offers from big tech.
Nice to Have
* You've used Ashby and Gem (or have strong opinions about the tools you did use)
* Are Located in San Francisco
* Have a degree or certificate in computer science
* Have experience with executive recruiting
Our Commitment to You
* An opportunity to build something truly impactful to the world
* Competitive salary and equity package
* Health, dental, and vision benefits
* Flexible vacation policy
