HRIS & Talent Acquisition Systems/Tools Engineer

We are looking for a Developer who focuses entirely on recruiting systems, tools, and infrastructure. This person will sit at the intersection of engineering, Talent Acquisition, and HRIS, and will own how our recruiting tech stack works end to end. They will translate recruiter and candidate pain into scalable solutions, design automations that remove manual work and elevate solutions to drive time to fill, candidate experience, and recruiter productivity.

If they hate inefficiency, and can talk to engineers and recruiters in the same hour, they will be happy here.

You are successful in this role when recruiting leaders see you as their product and engineering partner, not just their technical support.

  ChatGPT, and other productivity tools.

• Enable smarter decision making through end-to-end insights that show ROI, support tradeoffs, and guide investment and disinvestment in tools and processes
• Support tech-forward growth so that new regions, teams, and tools can be onboarded without reinventing processes each time
• Detect inefficiencies early by spotting bottlenecks and redundancies before they impact recruiters or candidates and eliminate repetitive tasks
• Provide insights on systems health that cover adoption, error rates, and automation impact
• Incorporate recruiter feedback into system design and proactively propose solutions, not just administer the tool
