About the Role

Nebius is seeking a Head of Engineering Recruitment to lead and transform our global engineering hiring function. You will build a repeatable, high-quality recruitment engine to attract, assess, and hire senior and highly technical engineering talent at scale, particularly in the UK and US.

What You'll Do

  • Lead, scale, and develop a global team of engineering recruiters across multiple regions.
  • Own end-to-end engineering recruitment delivery for highly technical roles across infrastructure, platform, systems, and product engineering.
  • Diagnose and strengthen the top of the engineering hiring funnel, improving attraction, sourcing, and early-stage quality for senior and hard-to-hire roles.
  • Partner closely with senior engineering leadership to understand technical needs and translate them into clear role definitions and hiring strategies.
  • Improve candidate calibration by role type and seniority to reduce process elongation and increase hiring efficiency and quality.
  • Raise the bar on hiring standards by defining technical and behavioural benchmarks and aligning assessment processes.
  • Build and continuously improve hiring processes, assessment frameworks, and candidate experience to support scale without sacrificing quality.
  • Increase engagement and accountability of hiring managers in top-of-funnel work and hiring outcomes.
  • Use data, market insight, and reporting to guide hiring decisions, capacity planning, location strategy, and continuous improvement.
  • Design and evolve the engineering recruitment team’s structure, capabilities, and operating rhythm to ensure reliability and consistency at scale.

What We're Looking For

  • Significant experience leading engineering recruitment teams in fast-growing technology companies.
  • Proven track record hiring senior and highly technical engineering talent beyond referral-driven networks.
  • Strong understanding of engineering disciplines, technical hiring challenges, and competitive global talent markets.
  • Experience managing global or multi-regional recruitment teams.
  • Ability to partner credibly and effectively with senior engineering and technology leaders.
  • Data-driven mindset, with experience using metrics and insight to improve hiring quality and outcomes.
  • Hands-on leadership style, comfortable operating in ambiguous, rapidly scaling environments.
  • Experience building, rebuilding, or scaling in-house engineering recruitment functions.

Nice to Have

  • Experience in AI, cloud, infrastructure, or other deep-tech environments.
  • Familiarity with UK and US engineering talent markets and distributed engineering teams.
  • Experience hiring engineers from large technology companies and FAANG-adjacent environments.

Team & Environment

You will manage a distributed team of recruiters and partner closely with senior engineering leadership. The role operates within a dynamic and collaborative work environment that values initiative and innovation, focused on cutting-edge AI cloud infrastructure.

  • Opportunities for professional growth within Nebius.
  • Flexible working arrangements.
  • A dynamic and collaborative work environment that values initiative and innovation.
