Responsibilities
- Own the full hiring funnel for engineering roles across Lazer's Fintech practice, from intake to offer signed, with a particular focus on roles at the intersection of finance and AI
- Partner directly with Cofounders and Fintech leadership to translate strategy into a sharp, prioritized hiring plan
- Source proactively. The bar is high and most of our hires come from outbound, so you'll be in the trenches building lists, writing thoughtful outreach, and running sourcing sprints
- Build and run interview loops that move fast and protect quality, including writing rubrics for AI-heavy roles and coaching interviewers on how to assess applied AI work
- Use AI to compound your output. Build sourcing agents, automate the boring parts, and keep raising your own ceiling on what one recruiter can do
- Close candidates with substance. Lead reference calls, manage offer negotiations, and get the right people across the line
- Bring market signal back to the business: comp benchmarks for AI and fintech engineers, competitive intel, what we're losing candidates on, and what to change
- Help shape how we hire as we scale. The playbook you build here gets applied across the rest of the company
Requirements
- 5 to 7 years of full-cycle technical recruiting experience hiring software engineers, with a meaningful chunk of that time spent in fintech or adjacent financial infrastructure (payments, lending, capital markets, embedded finance, financial data platforms), ideally with exposure to AI-native or crypto-native teams
- A blended background across in-house and agency or embedded search. You've built pipelines from inside a product company and you've also run external search, so you operate well in both modes
- You actively want to use AI in your day to day recruiting work, not just tolerate it. Sourcing agents, automated outreach, AI-assisted screening, and AI-assisted candidate prep are tools you reach for first, and you're constantly experimenting with new ones
- Deeply AI-fluent on the candidate side. You can credibly evaluate engineers who are shipping with LLMs, agents, RAG, evals, fine-tuning, and modern AI infrastructure, and you can tell the difference between someone who's truly building with this stack and someone who's just adjacent to it
- A real, warm network of fintech and applied AI engineering talent across the US and Canada that you can tap on day one
- An exceptional closer who can articulate technical opportunities to skeptical senior engineers and read what actually motivates them
- A direct, low-ego operator who is comfortable with ambiguity and a fast-moving environment
- A strong written communicator. Your outreach gets opened and replied to because it sounds like a human who did the work, not a templated blast
Benefits
- Work From Anywhere: Choose your workspace — all you need is strong wifi and a passion for building!
