Technical Recruiter, Hivemind

We are looking for a highly strategic and execution-focused Staff Software Recruiter to help scale some of the most critical engineering organizations within the company. This person will own full-cycle recruiting for complex software engineering functions with a particular emphasis on Autonomy, Robotics, Embedded Software, Perception, Planning, Controls, Distributed Systems, and other highly specialized technical domains supporting next-generation aerospace and autonomous systems development.

This is not a traditional recruiting role. We are looking for someone who can operate as a true talent partner to engineering leadership, helping shape hiring strategy, influence workforce planning, drive prioritization discipline, and build scalable pipelines for some of the hardest-to-hire technical talent in the industry.

The ideal candidate thrives in high-growth, high-ambiguity environments and brings a strong track record of closing senior and niche software engineering talent while balancing speed, quality, and stakeholder partnership.

Build and execute proactive sourcing strategies for difficult-to-find technical talent across aerospace, defense, robotics, autonomous systems, automotive, AI/ML, and adjacent industries

Act as a strategic advisor to leadership on market trends, talent availability, compensation competitiveness, and hiring risks

Drive strong operational rigor across pipeline management, funnel health, data accuracy, and stakeholder communication

Help influence workforce planning and ensure hiring activity remains aligned to approved business priorities

Improve recruiting scalability through process improvements, documentation, interview calibration, and tooling optimization

Deliver an exceptional candidate experience while maintaining urgency and high hiring quality standards

Mentor junior recruiters and sourcers while helping elevate recruiting best practices across the organization

10+ years of full-cycle technical recruiting experience, including significant ownership of complex software engineering searches

Proven success recruiting Software Engineers, Autonomy Engineers, Robotics Engineers, Embedded Software Engineers, Perception Engineers, Infrastructure Engineers, Machine Learning Engineers, or similar technical talent

Strong understanding of software engineering concepts, technical architectures, and engineering organizational structures

Experience partnering with senior engineering leadership in fast-paced or high-growth environments

Demonstrated ability to manage multiple complex searches simultaneously while maintaining strong hiring outcomes

Strong sourcing and market-mapping capabilities across highly competitive technical domains

Excellent communication, stakeholder management, and operational execution skills

Experience using ATS systems, sourcing platforms, and recruiting analytics to drive decisions and pipeline visibility

Ability to operate strategically while remaining highly execution-oriented
