About LiveKit
LiveKit is building the infrastructure layer for the voice-driven era of computing. Our platform gives developers everything they need to build, test, deploy, scale, and observe agents in production. Founded in 2021, LiveKit powers voice AI applications for OpenAI, xAI, Salesforce, Coursera, Spotify, and thousands of others, collectively facilitating billions of calls each year.
About This Role:
A lot of technical recruiting jobs at startups are a sprint: a big hiring push, a pile of reqs, then a hiring freeze and a reorg. This isn't that. Our engineering hiring is steady and it's going to stay that way, so we want someone who'd rather go deep with a handful of engineering teams than churn through whatever's on fire this week. The tradeoff: you'll be expected to actually understand what you're hiring for and how your work impacts the business overall. You'll be a Talent Business Partner to the LiveKit team.
You'll thrive as a Senior Technical Recruiter if you:
• are known as the go-to person for tackling tough problems
• are focused on polish, detail and quality
• are a fast learner, frequently picking up new tips, tricks, and skills
The best way to impress us is with thoughtful ways you'd implement AI in the recruiting process 😊
What You'll Do
• Own 8-10 engineering and technical searches end to end, from kickoff to signed offer
• Partner with engineering hiring managers on what the role really needs, and push back when the requirements don't match the market
• Source hard: find the infra, backend, SDK, and AI engineers who aren't looking, and give them a reason to talk to us
• Understand what candidates are motivated by and create a strategy to get them there
• Build pipelines for the roles we hire for again and again, so new reqs don't start from zero
• Run an honest, authentic and clear process emphasizing candidate experience that people talk about, even the ones we don't hire
• Help build the systems the Talent team runs on, from sourcing playbooks to interview kits
Who You Are
• 5+ years of full-cycle technical recruiting, mostly in-house
• You've owned senior and staff-level engineering searches and closed them
• You can hold a real conversation with an engineer about their work
• You source proactively and know how to build and sustain a strong bench.
• You've recruited for infrastructure, developer tools, open source, or AI companies
• You've built or rebuilt a recruiting process from scratch
• You know how to win top talent, even when competing against offers from big tech.
Nice to Have
• You've used Ashby and Gem (or have strong opinions about the tools you did use)
• Are Located in San Francisco
• Have a degree or certificate in computer science
• Have experience with executive recruiting
Our Commitment to You
• An opportunity to build something truly impactful to the world
• Competitive salary and equity package
• Health, dental, and vision benefits
• Flexible vacation policy
