Senior Recruiter

At Aurora, we are solving one of the most complex engineering challenges of our generation. The societal and economic impact of autonomous technology is massive, and the level of scale we are operating at requires an incredibly functional, predictable recruiting engine. But the Aurora Driver doesn't build itself; it is built by the best. And our Talent Acquisition team finds them.

• Data Literacy: Ability to interpret recruitment analytics, understand funnel metrics, and use data to predict outcomes, resolve bottlenecks, and advise hiring managers.


• Technical Execution: Proven ability to interpret market data/compensation layouts and utilize modern recruitment tools (ATS, LinkedIn Recruiter).


• Self-Direction: Demonstrated capacity to work independently and collaboratively to build high-performing teams for complex, integrated technology.


• Problem Solving: A customer-focused mindset regarding delivering quality to hiring managers and a willingness to reason, isolate, and resolve hiring bottlenecks.


• Continuous Learning: Possesses a natural curiosity for emerging technologies, actively experimenting with and leveraging AI tools to optimize day-to-day workflows, maximize efficiency, and elevate work quality.

Desirable Qualifications
