Senior Technical Recruiter

What We’re Looking For

We’re in search of a well-rounded Senior Technical Recruiter to play a critical role in building Lightning AI's BFT (best functioning team). We’re looking for somebody with start-up experience who understands how the different roles within a tech company fit together – ideally, you’ve worked across multiple teams, such as engineering, product and sales. You’ll be championing inclusive, equitable hiring processes and providing a best-in-class candidate experience, while building trust with teams throughout our organization. This role is hybrid (2 days per week) in San Francisco.

What You'll Do

• Full cycle recruiting for tech roles across the organization, with a focus on our AI software engineering, infrastructure, and product teams
• Sourcing, screening, and interviewing candidates
• Managing negotiations and offers
• Building a diverse pipeline of candidates, including those who are traditionally excluded from the tech space
• Helping to maintain and improve an equitable and scalable interview process
• Provide an exceptional experience for all candidates, whether they get to offer or not, with an emphasis on communication and responsiveness
• Be an active participant in online and in-person communities, helping to build our brand and your network

What You'll Need

• 7+ years of experience as a technical recruiter hiring software engineers, including experience in a high-growth tech company
• An enthusiasm for AI – you’re a regular user of new AI technology in work and in life
• A deep commitment to building an inclusive, equitable hiring culture
• Proactive communication – whether it’s to candidates, or your own hiring managers and team, you keep folks in the know 
• Bias to action - you’re comfortable with being pleasantly persistent to help move jobs and offers forward
• You’re a networker, and well connected within the Seattle tech community
• A respect for scalable processes, and a natural inclination to build and improve on those in place
• ATS expertise (we use Greenhouse, but Lever, or similar experience also counts)
• Phenomenal customer service skills, with a compassion for candidates in the job-seeking process
• Ability to remain calm under pressure and adapt to changing priorities
• High emotional intelligence and excellent communication skills with a track record of developing and maintaining cooperative working relationships with and among a diverse group of stakeholders at all levels
