Technical Recruiter

The Role

We're looking for a Technical Recruiter to own full-cycle hiring for our Engineering and Product teams. You'll partner directly with hiring managers and leadership to build the technical bench that powers Avoca's next stage of growth. This is a high-ownership, high-visibility role at a company scaling fast — you'll help define our technical hiring bar, build repeatable processes from the ground up, and close candidates in a competitive market.

What You'll Do

Own full-cycle recruiting for technical roles (software engineering and technical product roles) from sourcing through offer close.

Partner closely with engineering leaders and hiring managers to define role requirements, calibrate interview loops, and build scorecards.

Proactively source and build pipelines of top-tier technical talent through outbound sourcing, referrals, and creative channels — not just inbound applicants.

Act as a trusted advisor to candidates, clearly articulating Avoca's mission, momentum, and opportunity to win top talent against competing offers.

Drive a fast, high-quality candidate experience end-to-end, including screening, coordinating interviews, and managing offer negotiations.

Build and refine scalable recruiting processes, tools, and metrics as Avoca continues to grow headcount rapidly.

Use data to track pipeline health, funnel conversion, and time-to-fill, and adjust strategy accordingly.

Represent Avoca's employer brand across sourcing channels, networking events, and the broader technical community.

What We're Looking For

3+ years of full-cycle technical recruiting experience - ideally at high-growth startups.

Proven track record hiring software engineers, ML/AI talent, or similar technical roles at a fast-scaling company.

Strong sourcing chops — you know how to find and engage passive candidates, not just manage inbound.

Excellent judgment in assessing technical talent and partnering with engineering leaders on hiring decisions.

A sense of urgency and ownership; you thrive in a fast-paced, high-growth environment where priorities shift quickly.

Sharp communication and negotiation skills, with the ability to sell candidates on Avoca's mission and trajectory.

Comfortable operating with a high degree of autonomy and building process where none exists yet.

A bias toward action and in-person collaboration — this is an in-office role at our NYC headquarters.

Familiarity with modern sourcing and ATS tooling (e.g., Ashby, LinkedIn Recruiter, Juicebox).
