Technical Recruiting Jobs (NOW HIRING)

The people we hire determine what Zipline is capable of building. As a Technical Recruiting Manager, you'll lead a team responsible for hiring the engineers and technical leaders building the future of autonomous logistics.

You'll partner directly with engineering leadership to understand where the business is going, anticipate talent needs before they become hiring plans, and develop recruiting strategies that enable Zipline to execute on its most ambitious goals. You'll coach recruiters to operate as trusted advisors-not coordinators-who bring market expertise, sound judgment, and relentless execution to every search.

This role is about much more than managing recruiters. You'll build a high-performing recruiting organization that consistently identifies exceptional talent in highly competitive markets, raises the quality of hiring across the company, and continuously improves how we recruit. Every hire matters, and every recruiting decision has long-term implications for the trajectory of the company. We're looking for someone who believes recruiting is one of the highest leverage functions in a growing company and is excited to build the team responsible for finding the people who will define Zipline's future.

• Lead and develop a team of Technical Recruiting Partners, setting a high bar for execution, judgment, and accountability.
• Partner with engineering and program leaders to translate business priorities into long-term hiring strategies and talent plans.
• Coach recruiters to identify exceptional people-not just qualified candidates-and build teams that raise the technical and cultural bar across Zipline.
• Bring deep knowledge of the competitive engineering talent landscape to influence hiring strategy, organizational planning, and executive decision-making.
• Continuously improve how Zipline hires by strengthening recruiting processes, interview quality, calibration, and operational rigor.
• Build a recruiting organization that scales with the company while maintaining an exceptional hiring bar.

• 2+ years of people management experience leading and developing recruiters while building a culture of ownership, urgency, and continuous improvement.
• 8+ years of experience recruiting technical talent in high-growth, high-performance environments.
• Ability to work in ambiguous environments, using judgement and data to make sound decisions in a fast moving organization.
• Strong business judgment and the ability to influence senior leaders through data, market insights, and thoughtful recommendations.
• Deep understanding of the competitive engineering talent landscape and a track record of hiring exceptional technical talent.
• Exceptional sourcing instincts and the ability to recognize people who will outperform on paper qualifications alone.
• Excellent communication skills and the ability to build trust with executives, hiring managers, recruiters, and candidates alike.
• A bias toward action and a desire to solve hard problems with talented, mission-driven people.

• Experience recruiting across engineering, manufacturing, supply chain, operations, aviation, robotics, autonomy, hardware, software, or logistics organizations.
• Experience with Greenhouse, LinkedIn Recruiter, GEM, Goodtime, Google Suite.
