Job Summary
We are looking for a highly experienced Technical Recruiter (7–10 years) who has extensive experience hiring senior engineering talent for SaaS and product platforms.
This is not a traditional recruitment role.
You will act as a deep technical screening specialist, capable of:
- Understanding real engineering depth
- Asking probing, investigative questions
- Differentiating between superficial vs production-level experience
Your goal is to ensure that only high-quality, technically strong candidates reach the final engineering rounds.
Key Responsibilities
- Conduct deep technical screening for candidates across:
- Backend, Frontend, Full Stack, QA Automation, DevOps
- Evaluate candidates beyond resumes:
- Real-world experience, system thinking, and problem-solving depth
- Ask sharp, investigative questions to uncover:
- Depth vs buzzwords
- Ownership vs execution
- Shortlist only top 10–15% candidates
- Provide structured feedback (strengths, risks, recommendation) to leadership
- Support HR team by improving technical screening frameworks
Required Experience
- 7–10 years in Technical Recruitment
- Proven experience hiring for:
- SaaS / product engineering teams
- Strong track record hiring:
- Senior Developers, Tech Leads, Architects, QA Automation Engineers
- Experience working closely with engineering leadership teams
Technical Hiring Expertise (Must-Have)
You are not expected to code, but you must have strong practical understanding (through hiring experience) across modern product engineering stacks:
- Backend & APIs: Node.js ecosystem, JavaScript/TypeScript, API design (REST/GraphQL), integrations
- Frontend: React.js, modern JS frameworks, scalable UI architecture
- Architecture: Microservices, distributed systems, event-driven systems, system design basics
- Databases: Relational (MySQL/PostgreSQL) and NoSQL (MongoDB/DynamoDB) fundamentals
- Cloud & DevOps: AWS/GCP environments, CI/CD pipelines, Docker, basic Kubernetes awareness
- Testing: QA automation ecosystems (Playwright/Selenium), API testing, test frameworks
- Performance & Security: Caching, monitoring, authentication (OAuth/JWT), production readiness
👉 You should be able to evaluate depth, not just tools, across the above areas.
What Makes You a Strong Fit
- You have hired for product companies, not just service roles
- You can identify strong engineers within 30–45 minutes
- You ask deep technical questions, not checklist-based screening
- You understand how real systems are built, scaled, and deployed
- You are comfortable being maintaining a high bar and giving clear, honest feedback on candidates
Who This Role Is NOT For
This role is not suited for high-volume, keyword-based hiring profiles or those without hands-on experience screening for product or SaaS engineering teams.
Success Metrics (3 Months)
- Within 90 days, measurably improve shortlist-to-offer ratio and time-to-first-qualified-candidate, with engineering leadership spending significantly fewer hours on early screening.
Domain Knowledge
Familiarity with hiring for fintech, lending, or mortgage technology teams is a strong plus. Prior experience in regulated or document-heavy industries is valued.
LOCATION: Embassy Park, Manyata Tech Park, Bangalore
WORK MODE: Work from Office
EMPLOYMENT TYPE: Contractual (Duration to be discussed during interview)
SALARY RANGE: Best in Industry
