  • 10+ years of recruiting experience with deep experience hiring software engineering, AI/ML or other highly technical talent.

  • Proven track record building and leading technical recruiting for a high-growth technology company while remaining hands-on with critical searches.

  • Demonstrated success hiring senior engineers, technical leaders and other scarce talent through proactive headhunting.

  • Experience building, managing and raising the performance of technical recruiting teams.

  • Ability to work directly with founders and engineering leaders, challenge assumptions and translate company priorities into executable hiring plans.

  • Strong judgement on talent, high execution speed and clear accountability for hiring outcomes.

Nice to Have
  • Experience leading technical recruiting at an AI company, AI-native startup or high-growth technology company.

  • Direct experience recruiting AI researchers, ML engineers, applied AI engineers and senior engineering leaders.

  • Strong existing networks across global AI and engineering communities.

The city has emerged as a tech powerhouse, recently ranked among the best in the U.K. for tech careers — especially for software developers. It also leads the U.K. with the highest percentage of software development jobs advertised.
