Senior Engineering Recruiter

Tiger Data, formerly Timescale, is a company that empowers developers and businesses with a leading PostgreSQL platform. They are seeking a Senior Engineering Recruiter to manage full-cycle recruiting for engineering roles, partner with hiring managers, and create effective interview plans during a high-growth period.

Responsibilities:

• Owning full-cycle recruiting for engineering roles across the business, from intake and calibration through sourcing, interview process design, offer, and close
• Maintaining a high bar for every hire. We are a small organization, and every hire can make a positive or negative impact on our goals. This responsibility cannot be taken lightly
• Partnering closely with hiring managers to define role scope, align on candidate profile, and build practical, high-signal interview plans
• Coaching interviewers and hiring teams on structured interviewing, candidate evaluation, and how to maintain a high hiring bar while moving with urgency
• Personally driving outbound sourcing strategy and execution across multiple roles; we do not have dedicated sourcers, so this role is expected to source heavily and consistently
• Managing candidate pipelines with intensity and precision, ensuring strong conversion at every stage from first outreach through offer acceptance
• Creating an excellent candidate experience, especially with high-demand engineering talent who expect responsiveness, clarity, and strong selling throughout the process
• Using AI tools effectively to improve recruiter productivity, sourcing research, communication quality, interview preparation, and pipeline management, while applying sound judgment and maintaining a high-quality candidate experience

Requirements:

• Significant full-cycle recruiting experience hiring for technical and engineering roles in a high-growth startup or scale-up environment
• Strong business partnering skills and know how to work effectively with hiring managers, interviewers, and leaders who need both support and challenge
• Excellent at building structured interview plans that improve signal quality and reduce noise in the process
• Personally owned heavy sourcing and know how to identify, engage, and convert top engineering talent without relying on a separate sourcing team
• Know how to move with urgency while staying organized, responsive, and sharp on details
• Can manage multiple searches at once without losing momentum or candidate quality
• Comfortable using AI in a practical way to work faster and better, and can distinguish between smart leverage and lazy recruiting
• Believe that organizations are best when they're diverse and inclusive, and you're committed to ensuring that everything we do at TigerData reflects this belief
