Senior Technical Recruiter

We are looking for a Senior Technical Recruiter with 6-10 years of experience to own full-cycle recruiting for our San Francisco R&D team, hiring exceptional robotics, hardware, and software engineers. You'll be joining a founding TA team at a company building the world's first off-grid power plant for data centers — partnering directly with co-founders and engineering leadership to bring in the best talent at startup speed.

What will you be doing?

- Own full-cycle recruiting for robotics, hardware, and software roles in the SF R&D office — sourcing, closing, and everything in between

- Build deep outbound pipelines of passive candidates — the engineers we want are rarely on the market

- Partner directly with the CTO and engineering leads as a trusted talent advisor, navigating ambiguous and fast-changing headcount needs

- Close top candidates against competitive offers using creative strategies including office visits and events

- Represent TAR's culture and mission as the first point of contact for candidates — setting the tone from day one

Key Requirements

- 6+ years of recruiting experience with 4+ years of closing candidates from offer through signed acceptance

- Direct experience hiring mechanical, electrical, hardware, robotics, or software engineers

- Must be based in San Francisco with an established local network in the Bay Area engineering community

- Startup or high-intensity company experience (e.g., Tesla, Zipline, Physical Intelligence, Enduro) — not purely big tech

- Strong communicator who can hold their own with senior engineering leadership and co-founders
