About the role

Responsibilities

• Own hiring strategy, execution, and tracking of Fluidstack's Product and Engineering org.
• Build the annual delivery plan while staying hands-on closing critical searches yourself.
• Lead and scale a talent acquisition function across multiple business units and technical domains.
• Partner directly with senior hiring managers to forecast headcount, map talent needs, and align hiring strategy to business objectives.

Requirements

You have 5+ years in engineering and product hiring in a hyper-growth environment. You lead a team and set strategy but stay in the work. You take the hard searches, model great execution, and don't delegate your way out of accountability.

You build for the year but can lead quick pivots. You anticipate hiring needs and map talent landscapes so your team never starts a critical role from zero. You measure what matters (pipeline conversion, source quality, time-to-hire) and use it to manage performance and make decisions. You give clear, honest feedback and build trust by being straight with your team, not easy on them.
