> Founding Technical Recruiter to own full-cycle recruiting for AI/ML, engineering, data, and design roles at a fast-growing B2B fintech startup. Build recruiting processes, sourcing pipelines, and employer brand from scratch while partnering directly with the CEO.

## Job Description

## What You'll Do
- Own full-cycle recruiting for technical roles: run searches end-to-end across Engineering, AI/ML, Data, and Design—from kickoff and sourcing through interviews, references, and closed offers.
- Source proactively and creatively: build pipelines of exceptional senior+ engineers and researchers through outbound, referrals, communities, events, and channels other recruiters haven't thought of yet.
- Partner with leadership as a trusted advisor: work directly with the CEO and hiring managers to define role scope, success profiles, and evaluation criteria—and be a consistent voice for quality throughout the process.
- Build the recruiting function from scratch: stand up our processes, interview frameworks, scorecards, and ATS hygiene; establish the metrics and reporting that keep hiring fast and honest.
- Deliver an exceptional candidate experience: every candidate—hired or not—should leave the process thinking more of Stuut than when they entered it.
- Champion Stuut's story in the market: represent our product, traction, and technical bar to passive candidates and position Stuut as the place ambitious engineers want to build.
- Use data to get better every week: track pass-through rates, diagnose bottlenecks, and iterate on sourcing and process based on what the numbers tell you.

## You Might Be a Fit If You…
- Have 4+ years of full-cycle recruiting experience with a focus on technical roles, ideally in-house at a fast-growing, product-led startup.
- Have owned searches for senior and staff+ engineering talent and can establish instant credibility with technical leaders and candidates.
- Have strong sourcing chops—you're comfortable building pipelines for hard-to-fill roles rather than waiting on inbound.
- Have worked somewhere with a very high talent bar and understand the subtle indicators that separate good from great technical talent.
- Are data-driven: you use pipeline metrics to prioritize your time, spot problems early, and make the case for change.
- Operate with autonomy—you're used to leading searches end-to-end and prioritizing your own workload without direction.
- Are excited to build a function, not just fill seats: processes, employer brand, and hiring infrastructure that scale.
- Want to work in person, at speed, alongside the founders in our SF or NYC office.
