Senior Technical Recruiter (San Francisco, CA)

Reporting to the VP, Talent Acquisition and Technology, you'll own full-cycle technical recruiting for some of the most impactful roles at MrBeast — spanning software engineering, data science, machine learning, product, and technical operations. You'll work directly with engineering managers, senior ICs, and leadership to translate ambitious technical roadmaps into real hires, quickly and thoughtfully.

This role is well-suited for someone who enjoys complexity, moves with urgency, and is genuinely excited about recruiting at a company that looks nothing like a traditional tech employer — but competes for the same talent.

What You’ll Do

Own Technical Hiring End-to-End

• Lead full-cycle recruiting for engineering, data science, ML, product, and technical operations roles.


• Partner with hiring managers and technical leads to define what "great" actually looks like for each role, beyond the job spec.


• Design and run tight, well-structured interview processes that assess both technical depth and the judgment required to thrive here.


• Close candidates by clearly articulating the scale, ownership, and unique impact of what we're building.

Find Technical Talent in Unconventional Places

• Proactively source engineers, data scientists, and technical PMs using advanced sourcing techniques across LinkedIn, GitHub, and niche technical communities.


• Build pipelines for roles that require both technical rigor and the ability to operate in a fast-moving, creative organization.


• Identify talent before they're looking. Tap into open source contributors, hackathon networks, and technical communities tied to our product areas.


• Stay current on trends in AI/ML, content tech, and digital products to credibly engage top technical candidates.

Be a Strategic to Technical Leaders

• Act as a trusted advisor to engineering and product managers, delivering honest market feedback and competitive intelligence on technical talent.


• Help technical leaders make confident, fast hiring decisions and bringing structure without bureaucracy.


• Translate roadmap priorities into hiring strategies, and flag risks before they become blockers.


• Balance speed, quality, and culture alignment as the company's technical direction continues to evolve.

Build Technical Recruiting for Scale

• Develop and improve technical interview frameworks, assessment approaches, and hiring rubrics as teams grow.


• Introduce consistency and rigor without slowing down the teams you serve.


• Use data, pattern recognition, and sound judgment to continuously raise the bar — and help others do the same.


• Help build a recruiting function that can scale with the company's technical ambitions.

What You’ll Bring

• 5–8+ years of full-cycle technical recruiting experience, ideally within high-growth tech companies, media tech, or startups scaling engineering teams.


• A strong track record of hiring senior engineers, data scientists, ML practitioners, and technical product managers in competitive markets.


• Exceptional technical sourcing skills — fluent in GitHub, LinkedIn Recruiter, Boolean, and non-traditional sourcing strategies for hard-to-find profiles.


• Enough technical literacy to have credible conversations with engineers about their work, assess role-fit signals, and evaluate candidate quality beyond a resume.


• Comfort with ambiguity, fast-changing priorities, and leaders who think big and move fast.


• Strong instincts for talent, potential, and cultural alignment and not just credentials and tenure.


• Clear communicator, strong closer, and someone who takes real pride in the caliber of the teams they help build.


• Genuine curiosity about creator platforms, content technology, audience-scale products, and building things people actually care about.
