Senior Technical Recruiter

At Chainguard, we're on a mission to change how the world builds and secures software, and we're searching for a Senior Recruiter with 5+ years of experience sourcing and recruiting top-tier tech talent who can spot top-tier Product & Engineering talent faster than a suspicious package in a software repo. You'll own the entire recruiting lifecycle (think: sourcing, connecting, negotiating, and high-fiving), building real relationships and leveling up our candidate experience.

What you'll do

• Run full-cycle recruitment searches for primarily Product & Engineering roles across the U.S., with the flexibility to support hiring across our international business as needed.
• Partner with senior leaders and founders to define roles, align on hiring priorities, and set clear expectations for what "great" looks like globally.
• Build and manage pipelines that anticipate growth in domestic and international markets, drawing on an established network of top tech talent.
• Deliver a consistent, candidate-first experience across time zones and geographies.
• Advise leadership on talent trends, compensation benchmarking, and recruiting strategy at a market-expert level.
• Design and improve recruiting processes so they scale effectively across regions while staying human and flexible.

What we're looking for

• 5+ years of full-cycle recruiting experience, with a strong track record sourcing and closing top-tier Product & Engineering talent.
• Proven ability to partner with senior leaders or founders on high-priority, high-visibility hires.
• Deep sourcing expertise — able to build pipelines for hard-to-fill and competitive roles, not just work inbound flow.
• Skilled at navigating global hiring challenges — time zones, regulations, and local market dynamics.
• A trusted advisor to hiring managers and a thoughtful, respectful partner to candidates.
• Adaptable, curious, and energized by helping a startup expand globally.
• Agile and detail-oriented, thriving in a fast-paced environment.
• Proven commitment to hiring diverse, top-tier talent.
• Bonus if you're excited about open source, security, or finding great talent in unconventional places.
