About the Role

Our team is seeking a Lead Technical Recruiter who has spent real time in the codebase and understands why the nuances of platform engineering and distributed systems actually matter. You are likely an engineer by trade who found a second calling in talent and can speak the same language as our candidates and dive deep into the intricacies of tech profiles without breaking a sweat.  You will act as a partner across our IT, Platform, Data Security, Engineering, Product, and Algos teams to find the best-in-class builders who thrive at the intersection of Tech and Retail.  Because you understand the technology as well as the talent, you will also take the lead in piloting and implementing AI within our hiring engine. You are someone who can strategically integrate AI to automate the mundane, sharpen our sourcing precision, and architect a modern workflow that stays ahead of the curve.

You're excited about this opportunity because you will…

• Own the full-cycle technical engine. You’ll drive the end-to-end process—from collaborating on specialized job specs to sourcing and closing mid-level and senior talent—across our most technical teams.

We’re excited about you because…

• You have 6+ years of experience navigating the technical talent landscape. You’ve spent the bulk of your career embedded within high-growth tech teams, successfully closing complex roles across Platform, Data Security, and AI/ML. You don’t just know the titles but you know the dependencies between the teams.
• You have a foundational background in engineering. Whether you started your career as a dev, have a CS degree, or spent years in a deeply technical role before transitioning to talent. This technical literacy is your "superpower" when vetting talent.
• You’ve mastered the art of the technical close. You know how to engage senior engineers and architects because you speak their language. You understand their motivations—from tech stack scalability to the challenges of distributed systems—and yo
