Technical Recruiter

Job description

TECHNICAL RECRUITER WHO WE ARE Our mission is to make the world programmable. Sight is one of the key ways we understand the world, and soon this will be true for the software we use, too. We’re building the tools, community, and resources needed to make the world programmable with artificial intelligence. Roboflow simplifies building and using computer vision models. Today, over 1M+ developers, including those from half the Fortune 100, use Roboflow’s machine learning open source and hosted tools. That includes counting cells to accelerate cancer research, improving construction site safety, digitizing floor plans, preserving coral reef populations, guiding drone flight, and much more. Our team is small relative to our impact, and we believe our users’ success is our success (not the inverse). A team member summarized: “Roboflow is a company full of giant brains and tiny egos.” We find software has a multiplier effect on all roles (not only product and engineering), so Roboflow employs developers across the company in design, sales, customer support, marketing, and beyond. We’re supported by great customers and investors, having raised over $63 million from Google Ventures, Y Combinator, Craft Ventures, Sam Altman, Lachy Groom, and other leading software investors.

You prefer owning outcomes to completing tasks, and you're motivated by helping exceptional people find work where they can have outsized impact. You're fascinated by how strong technical organizations are built. You enjoy understanding what makes great engineers, product managers, designers, and researchers effective—and helping hiring teams identify those signals early. We are less concerned with the number of years you've spent recruiting than with the impact you've had. You know recruiting is not simply about filling open positions. Exceptional hiring compounds across an organization for years. You approach recruiting as a strategic function that helps shape the future of a company. You are constantly asking, “How can this be better?” Whether improving sourcing approaches, candidate experience, interview design, or recruiting systems, you look for opportunities to raise the bar. You understand how strong product and technical teams operate. You can distinguish genuine technical depth from interview performance and help hiring managers identify candidates who raise the bar rather than merely fill a role.

Success in this role means consistently identifying and hiring exceptional builders, creating candidate experiences that reflect Roboflow’s values, and improving the systems that help us scale hiring without sacrificing quality.
