• Owns end-to-end recruiting for the most technically demanding engineering roles. Executes creative sourcing strategies for deeply technical, hard-to-find talent (distributed systems, blockchain, cryptography). • Constructs robust pipelines with measurable metrics. Reverse-engineers pipeline math independently (screens, loops, offers needed to hit hiring goals). Runs experiments to improve efficiency and scales what works. • Independently owns hiring outcomes for high-stakes roles without hand-holding. Executes full-cycle recruiting with strong conversion metrics. • Partners with engineering managers and technical leads to calibrate on bar, refine interview loops, and close competitive offers. Escalates appropriately on process changes, bar adjustments, and stakeholder commitments. • Works cross-functionally with engineers, EMs, and executives, flexing communication style based on audience. Builds credibility with skeptical hiring managers through technical calibration. • Maintains tight feedback loop with leadership on progress, blockers, and learnings. Balances velocity with judgment on things that ripple across teams. • Takes feedback cleanly, gives it constructively. Adapts approach based on stakeholder needs and hiring manager input. • Mentors junior recruiters on pipeline strategy, technical calibration, and closing under pressure. Extracts playbooks from successes and teaches others to replicate.
