About the Role: As a Senior Technical Recruiter / TA Partner, you will own full-cycle recruiting for complex, high-impact Engineering and AI positions. You will lead searches for Senior Software Engineers, AI Engineers, Machine Learning Engineers, and other specialized technical talent, partnering closely with Engineering leaders to understand their teams, technical requirements, and hiring priorities. You will bring a hands-on sourcing approach, strong technical recruiting judgment, and market intelligence to build exceptional pipelines and deliver high-quality hires.

The ideal candidate is an experienced technical recruiter who can independently manage difficult Engineering searches, engage passive technical talent, and advise hiring managers on realistic talent profiles, competitive markets, and effective selection processes.
