Technical Recruiter

About the Role:

As a Technical Recruiter, you will partner with our Engineering, Product, and Design (EPD) team to bring extraordinary technical talent to Ambient.ai. You will be a unifier, a culture ambassador, and a trusted partner to your hiring teams and candidates. As a Talent team member, you’ll have a profound impact as we grow the organization.

What You'll Do:

• Partner strategically with Engineering teams to define talent needs, hiring plans, and sourcing strategies

• Own full-cycle recruiting from initial sourcing and screening through candidate closing

• Integrate AI-powered sourcing platforms (e.g., Juicebox) and workflows to accelerate candidate research, outreach, and insights

• Build domain knowledge across software engineering disciplines to effectively assess technical talent

• Deliver exceptional candidate experiences while navigating equity conversations and startup growth dynamics

• Track recruiting metrics, funnel performance, and market intelligence to guide hiring decisions

  What You'll Bring:

• Technical recruiting track record: 3+ years of technical recruiting experience, with a proven track record of sourcing, engaging, and hiring top-tier engineering talent

• AI fluency: Hands-on experience using AI-powered sourcing platforms (Juicebox, SeekOut, or equivalent) and AI assistants (ChatGPT, Claude, etc.) to draft outreach, summarize candidate profiles, conduct market research, and streamline recruiting workflows

• Full-cycle ownership: A successful track record sourcing and closing technical roles from entry-level to director across a range of engineering disciplines

• Candidate experience: The ability to build genuine, positive relationships with candidates, hiring managers, and business partners across cultures and time zones

• Recruiting stack expertise: Experience with Ashby, Juicebox, LinkedIn Recruiter, Metaview and curated platforms such as AngelList — and an eagerness to evaluate and adopt new tools

• JD & interview design: Ability to craft compelling job descriptions and structured interview guides in partnership with hiring managers

• Equity fluency: A strong understanding of equity for venture-backed companies, with the ability to articulate its value clearly to candidates

• Startup DNA: Previous experience at a startup or high-growth environment; you thrive with ambiguity and can take charge without a playbook

• Data-driven mindset: Highly organized, metrics-focused, and comfortable building and presenting recruiting dashboards and pipeline reports

• Communication excellence: Phenomenal written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to engage respectfully and effectively with candidates from many different countries and backgrounds

• Influence & partnership: Proven ability to advise and push back on hiring managers, shape stakeholder decisions, and drive alignment across cross-functional teams

Why join us:

• We are creating an entirely new category within a 120+ billion-dollar physical security industry, and we're looking for team members who share our mission to prevent every security incident possible

• We have an impressive customer roster of F500 companies, including Adobe, TikTok, and SentinelOne

• Regular full-time employees receive stock options for the opportunity to share in the success of our company

• We offer flexible time off to rest and recharge, including Winter Break (time off between Christmas and New Year's for most roles depending on customer demand)

We’ve found that in-person time meaningfully supports collaboration, creativity, and team alignment. Our talent, engineering, product, design, and marketing teams work from our Redwood City office three days a week. All other Bay Area employees join on Fridays to stay connected and close out the week together.
