The Role This is Share's first internal recruiting hire. You will lead and own the entire talent function and work directly alongside the founders in an engineering-heavy company, ensuring the company attracts, hires and retains global top talent across both technical and non technical roles; with the majority of our hiring focused on deeply technical profiles across network, systems and software engineering.

Own the ATS, maintain clean data, build process playbooks, and create the recruiting operating system Share will scale on. We currently use Ashby. Founder partnership. Act as a thought partner to the founders on hiring philosophy, compensation strategy, and how we approach top-of-funnel. You will have a strong point of view and share it. What We're Looking For 2-5 years of full-cycle recruiting experience, either in-house at a startup or at a boutique search firm. Demonstrated experience hiring deeply technical candidates (network, systems and software engineers). Hands-on experience running an ATS end-to-end (Ashby, Greenhouse, Lever, or equivalent). Strong sourcing instincts. Ability to build and own an employer brand narrative. Comfort operating with ambiguity and moving fast in a lean, founder-led environment.
