Role Summary

We are hiring a Senior Technical Recruiter to build our New York engineering presence. You will own sourcing-heavy recruiting for senior software engineers and technical hires, helping establish the recruiting motion, candidate network, and local market presence that will scale the office over time. This is a builder role, partnering closely with engineering leadership to define hiring priorities, shape pipelines, and close exceptional technical talent in highly competitive markets.

Who You Are

• You have a sourcing-first mindset: you don't wait for inbound, and you know how to turn cold outreach into real pipelines and hires.
• You have strong judgment on technical signal and can calibrate quickly with engineering leaders.
• You communicate crisply and operate with urgency—candidates and stakeholders always know what’s next.
• You build from scratch and thrive in startup ambiguity, turning loose inputs into repeatable recruiting systems and playbooks.
• You bring operational rigor: clear funnels, measurable goals, reliable follow-through, and scalable recruiting processes.
• You balance high standards with strong candidate experience and thoughtful stakeholder management.
• You create a candidate experience that is fast, clear, and high-touch without sacrificing standards.
• You use AI and automation thoughtfully to scale your work and reduce repetitive operational overhead.
• You are energized by helping build something new and establishing a strong technical hiring presence in a new market.

• Help establish and grow Twenty’s engineering brand and talent presence in the New York market.
• Partner with engineering leaders to define hiring strategy, interview design, scorecards, and candidate calibration.
• Source across outbound channels, technical communities, referrals, events, and targeted market research.
• Keep recruiting pipelines moving with strong process management, fast feedback loops, and clear communication.
• Improve recruiting assets including outreach messaging, candidate prep materials, and closing narratives.
• Apply AI-driven workflows and tooling to augment sourcing, coordination, and recruiting operations with strong judgment.
