2+ years of full-cycle technical recruiting experience, with a strong preference for candidates who've been part of a startup's journey from early stage to high-growth

Proven ability to hire software engineers in fast-moving, ambiguous environments where the playbook is still being written

Experience building trusted partnerships with hiring managers, where you're seen as a strategic advisor who challenges assumptions and improves outcomes, not just someone who sources resumes

A track record of creative sourcing — you know how to find talent that others miss and aren't afraid to try unconventional approaches

Strong instincts for assessing technical talent beyond credentials, particularly the ability to identify engineers who can navigate ambiguity and communicate effectively with customers

Data-driven mindset with experience using recruiting metrics to diagnose problems and drive improvements

Exceptional communication skills and the ability to articulate a compelling vision to skeptical or passive candidates

Comfort with technology-agnostic recruiting — you're not fazed when candidates don't fit neat boxes, and you understand that mindset matters more than specific languages or frameworks

Excitement about doing whatever it takes to close great candidates, whether that means creative outreach, rapid interview coordination, attending events or hiring surges

Preferred

Experience recruiting for customer-facing technical roles like consulting engineers, forward deployed engineers, solutions architects, or technical account managers

Background at a company that builds custom software or takes a consulting approach to product development

Significant autonomy to shape how recruiting works at Northslope as we scale

The opportunity to define your own career path as we grow, whether that's moving into people leadership, becoming the go-to expert for a specific geography or candidate profile, or carving out an entirely new role

A small, tight-knit team where your work directly impacts our ability to execute on our mission

Occasional travel (less than 10% of your time) for company offsites where you'll connect with the broader team and help build our culture
