Technical Recruiter

About The Team

The Tech & Core People team enables VTEX's growth by building world-class teams. We partner with leadership to scale the company in a structured, data-informed, high-bar way, and because we hire some of the best technical talent in the market, we hold our own craft to the same standard: strong processes, sharp critical thinking, and real ownership over outcomes. We're also rebuilding what recruiting looks like in the age of AI; actively, not waiting to see how it shakes out.

About The Role

Recruiting exists here for one reason: to find people who will actually perform once they're in the seat — not just to fill it. The pipelines, the funnels, the processes are all in service of that one outcome.

In this role, you'll own complex technical hiring end-to-end, with a focus on impact, quality, and scale. You'll work closely with leadership and hiring managers to shape strategy, sharpen how we assess people, and make the whole process faster and smarter — increasingly with AI carrying the parts that used to eat your week, so your judgment goes where it actually matters.

What you'll do:

• Own recruiting processes end-to-end, from intake to offer, with high quality, speed, and a strong candidate experience;
• Design assessment and selection that genuinely predicts on-the-job performance, not résumé pattern-matching;
• Build creative, scalable, data-informed sourcing strategies that produce high-performing pipelines;
• Put AI to work across the hiring process: test new tools, build better workflows, and free your judgment for the parts that need a human;
• Partner with hiring managers and leadership to challenge assumptions, clarify what "great" really looks like, and improve decisions;
• Use funnel data to find bottlenecks, prioritize effort, and influence stakeholders with evidence;
• Continuously improve our processes, tools, and ways of working, keeping complex stakeholders aligned on status, risks, and trade-offs;
• Write hiring plans and job descriptions tied to business priorities, role complexity, and long-term team needs.

Who You Are

You bring real intellectual horsepower, and you think in structure. You can take an ambiguous, messy problem, break it into parts, reason from first principles, and reach a decision you can defend. And you're fast: you pick up new tools and new ways of working quickly, and you'd rather ship and iterate than wait for perfect.

You run toward AI, not away from it. When a new tool shows up, your instinct is to pull it apart and figure out how it works. You see the shift happening in recruiting as the most exciting thing to happen to this job in a decade, a chance to help redefine what a recruiter even is.

You thrive in structured, high-expectation environments, you're energized by hard problems, and "good enough" doesn't sit right with you. You raise the bar for yourself, your team, your processes, and your results.

You likely bring:

• A strong track record recruiting for complex Engineering roles (Management, Front-end, Back-end, Full-stack, Security and Data);
• A critical, analytical mind: you connect information, question assumptions, and make well-reasoned decisions;
• Structured thinking and the ability to stay clear-headed in complex or ambiguous situations;
• Real curiosity about AI and a habit of using it: you already bring AI tools into your own work, and you want to go deeper;
• Agility: you learn new tools and skills fast and adapt as the work changes;
• A builder's instinct for process: you notice inefficiency and proactively design smarter, more scalable ways of working;
• The ability to use data and funnel metrics to inform strategy, find bottlenecks, and improve hiring outcomes;
• High standards for assessment quality, documentation, structured processes, and candidate experience;
• Strong stakeholder management: you build trusted relationships and keep partners aligned through complexity;
• A deep sense of ownership and accountability, with a track record of going beyond expectations to deliver results;
• Excellent written and verbal communication, adapted to different audiences (candidates, peers, leaders, executives);
• Fluency in Portuguese and English.
