Responsibilities
- Own full‑cycle recruiting for technical GTM roles across India — Solutions Architects, Forward Deployed Engineers, and Field Engineering leadership — from first outreach to close.
- Partner with Field Engineering and Sales leaders as a true strategic advisor on sourcing strategy, market mapping, competitive intelligence, comp positioning, and talent insights.

- Build and sustain engaged talent pipelines that can keep pace with aggressive hiring goals and our continued APJ expansion.
- Create closing strategies that win against the most competitive offers in the market and manage stakeholder expectations with data.

- A track record of scaling teams at a high‑growth company — you know what it takes to hire fast without dropping the bar.
- High energy, grit, and a relentless work ethic — you get stuff done and you don't wait to be told how.
- An "AI builder" mindset: genuinely curious about the technology, hands‑on with new tools, and able to speak credibly to deeply technical candidates.
- Comfort with chaos — you stay calm, prioritize ruthlessly, and thrive when the goalposts move and the pressure is on.
- The ability to build strategic partnerships across the business and influence senior stakeholders with data and conviction.
- A creative, resourceful approach to sourcing — you don't rely on the obvious channels and you love finding talent others can't.
- Strong ownership and a bias for action; you treat your reqs like they're your own business.
