Technical Recruiter

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.

Responsibilities

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.

Requirements

5+ years of full-cycle technical recruiting experience; 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).
