Talent Partner & Systems Builder (Tech focus) (w/m/d)

As our Talent Partner & Systems Builder, you will help shape how Flinn grows from 60 to more than 120 people over the next 15 months. Working in a People team of three, you will lead hiring initially across engineering and product roles while helping us evolve how we attract, assess, and hire exceptional people. Many of our best hires come through our network, referrals, and communities. As we expand across Vienna, Berlin, NYC, and beyond, one of the challenges you will help us solve is how to scale that advantage into new markets and talent communities. We're looking for someone who wants to rethink talent acquisition from first principles: what does hiring look like when start treating it as a product problem? What can you build, automate, or completely replace?

Responsibilities

Shape how a fast-growing company builds their talent engine with an opportunity to start from first principles and work with a product approach and experiments to see what brings the most impact; Lead end-to-end hiring across (for now mostly) engineering and product roles; Help us turn our culture, networks, and reputation into a sustainable hiring advantage; Experiment with AI, automation, and new tools to remove repetitive work, improve hiring quality, and build systems that scale; Use candidate conversations, sourcing, and market research to deepen our understanding of talent markets, organisational design, and how exceptional teams are built; Ensure every search leaves us with a stronger process, stronger network, or better understanding of the market

Requirements

Nice to have

Experience hiring senior engineering and other difficult-to-fill roles; A track record of building something, whether a process, community, function, product, or business; Experience outside recruiting is a plus; Strong judgment, pragmatism, and a genuine desire to make the system better, not just fill the role
