About the Role Paraform is disrupting how companies hire — and we're looking for someone to help us hire the best people to do it. As our Founding Technical Recruiter, you'll own engineering and technical hiring end-to-end at a pivotal moment in our growth. This isn't a coordinator role or a req-filler — you'll be a true talent partner to our engineering and product leaders, shaping how we find and sell world-class technical talent on Paraform. You'll be hands-on sourcing, closing, and iterating on our process — while also laying the recruiting infrastructure that scales with us. What You'll Do * Own full-cycle recruiting for engineering, product, and design roles — from kickoff to close * Source proactively and build pipelines for hard-to-fill technical roles, with a bias toward finding non-obvious talent that others miss * Partner closely with hiring managers to deeply understand technical requirements, team dynamics, and what "great" actually looks like for each role * Define and continuously sharpen our interview process, scorecards, and candidate experience for technical hires * Build repeatable sourcing playbooks, calibration frameworks, and pipeline tracking that raise the bar over time * Serve as a genuine ambassador for Paraform's mission — you should be able to speak credibly about our product, our market, and why the best engineers should want to work here * Identify recruiting tooling, sourcing channels, and workflow improvements that increase quality and efficiency What We're Looking For * 3–5+ years of full-cycle technical recruiting experience, ideally with time spent in-house at a high-growth startup * Proven track record closing strong engineering candidates in a competitive market * Deep sourcing chops — you're not waiting on inbound; you know how to find people and get them interested * Strong technical literacy — you don't need to code, but you can hold a real conversation about tech stacks, system design, and engineering culture * High ownership mentality and comfort operating without a playbook * Builder mindset — excited to create process and structure where there isn't any * Familiarity with the recruiting industry or marketplace businesses is a plus (and genuinely interesting to us) ABOUT PARAFORM: Paraform is a marketplace modernizing one of the largest and most fragmented markets in the world: hiring. We partner with industry leaders like Cursor, Palantir, Windsurf, Decagon, Shopify, Coinbase, and Hightouch to hire world-class talent, and are growing quickly - 8×-ing revenue last year. Paraform is the first end-to-end AI recruiting marketplace that connects companies with thousands of specialized recruiters and AI agents that work together to fill roles faster and more accurately. Our mission is to make hiring fast, reliable, and scalable for every company in the world. At Paraform, we believe recruiting works best when the right people are working on the right problems, combining human judgment with AI that truly understands hiring. That’s why we’re building a new foundation for how companies hire, bringing together specialized recruiters and modern AI tools. We treat recruiters like entrepreneurs, not vendors – and we’re building the financial, operational, and technical infrastructure that powers their success. We are backed by the best investors and technology leaders: Felicis, A*, BOND, Liquid 2, DST Global, the founders of YouTube, Instacart, Canva, and more.
