Job Summary
Conduct end-to-end recruiting for Engineering, Product, GTM, and G&A roles by personally sourcing, assessing, and closing exceptional candidates while building a proactive sourcing engine for those not actively looking. Partner with leaders to define performance expectations, translate hiring philosophy into scorecards and interview formats, and improve assessments using live demonstrations and technical discussions to reveal authentic ability. Design and improve onboarding processes, ramp plans, and lightweight people systems for feedback, compensation, and career development.
