Own full-cycle recruiting for high-impact roles across Engineering, Cloud, Space, and beyond — hardware, software, and satellite communications domains.
Partner deeply with hiring managers on every search: clarify role definitions, design intentional interview loops, calibrate together on candidates, and revisit the loop when the signal isn't matching the bar.
Identify, improve, and own pieces of the hiring system — interview rubrics, scorecard design, sourcing playbooks, intake processes, candidate communications — not just execute the playbook you inherited.
Build AI-powered workflows into your daily practice: use Claude (we use Cowork), Ashby's AI features, Metaview, and the next tool you discover to source smarter, screen faster, and synthesize candidate signals more reliably.
Hit aggressive pipeline velocity and offer-acceptance targets while holding the quality bar — both matter, neither replaces the other.
Surface market insights, comp trends, and structural bottlenecks to hiring managers and leadership so we make better calls earlier.
Champion a candidate experience that reflects Skylo's mission and brand at every touchpoint — transparent communication, timely feedback, and a closing motion that reflects the seriousness of what we're building.

A CS degree, Information Systems, or comparable technical educational background
3-5 years of in-house technical recruiting at a startup or scale-up — primarily as a solo recruiter or as part of a small team building out a scaling org
Demonstrated partnership with hiring managers: examples of how you've shaped a role definition, built or evolved an interview loop, or pushed back on a search that wasn't going to work
Track record of process improvement — interview rubric overhauls, ATS workflow redesign, sourcing methodology shifts, candidate experience upgrades
Native fluency with AI in your daily workflow
Comfort hitting and reporting on KPIs (pipeline velocity, offer acceptance, time-to-hire) without losing sight of quality
Skill in identifying niche technical talent across software, hardware, and satellite communications domains
Experience closing complex offers by communicating mission, scope, and equity value — especially with passive candidates who weren't actively looking

Comprehensive benefits including medical, dental, vision, retirement plan
Monthly allowances for wellness and education reimbursement
A generous time off policy and holidays
Once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to be part of developing and running the world's first commercial, live direct-to-device satellite network and service
