Stealth-mode Battery Startup is hiring a Senior Technical Recruiter

Shape the future of technical hiring at a fast-growing energy innovation company. As a Senior Technical Recruiter, you’ll build recruiting infrastructure from the ground up to support rapid scaling—from 70 to more than 120 team members—while directly owning full-cycle hiring for key technical positions.

What You’ll Do

  • Develop efficient, repeatable hiring workflows that uphold quality and equity across engineering, operations, and general & administrative functions.
  • Lead the selection and optimization of recruiting tools, including an ATS (Ashby), scheduling platforms, and sourcing technologies.
  • Collaborate with People Operations to ensure hiring practices reflect compliance standards and organizational values.
  • Create interview playbooks, train hiring managers, and define decision-making frameworks to improve consistency and speed.
  • Source and engage passive candidates, especially in specialized technical domains such as battery and manufacturing engineering.
  • Translate complex technical requirements into effective search strategies and candidate assessments.
  • Track key metrics—including time-to-fill and pipeline health—and use data to refine strategies and remove bottlenecks.
  • Deliver a thoughtful candidate experience from first contact through offer negotiation and close.

What We’re Looking For

  • Minimum of 8 years of full-cycle recruiting experience, with at least 3 years in high-growth or startup environments.
  • Proven success in designing or overhauling recruiting systems to support scale.
  • Strong collaboration skills with executive leaders and technical hiring managers.
  • Exceptional judgment, communication, and organizational abilities.
  • Ability to work independently in fast-moving, evolving environments.

Work Environment & Benefits

This role operates in a hybrid model, with options to work onsite in San Jose, CA, or remotely within the U.S. with periodic in-person collaboration. You’ll enjoy flexible hours, unlimited PTO, comprehensive health coverage, and retirement planning through a 401k. The company fosters a builder culture rooted in transparency, impact, and work-life balance, with strong emphasis on documentation and process excellence.

Compensation includes a salary range of $160,000–$200,000, competitive equity, and a full benefits package. We are an equal opportunity employer and welcome applicants of all backgrounds.
