As a Senior Talent Acquisition Partner, Technical at vCluster Labs, you aren't just filling open requisitions, you are the architect of our engineering capability across Europe. In this role, you will serve as the primary ambassador to the technical community, identifying and attracting the builders who will shape the future of vCluster. You will have the unique opportunity to partner directly with Engineering and Product leadership, as one of vCluster Labs' first TA hires on the ground in Europe. As a Senior Talent Acquisition Partner, Technical, your role will include: Full Cycle Technical Recruiting: Own the end to end hiring process for Engineering, Product, and Technical roles globally. You will guide candidates from the initial talent screen through the offer stage, ensuring a seamless flow. Regional Technical Expertise: Serve as our first EMEA based technical recruiter and build the practices needed to hire engineering talent across the region. You will stay closely aligned with the US based People Ops and Engineering teams while adapting to local market norms. Strategic Sourcing: Proactively source and engage passive talent from the open source, Kubernetes, and developer tool communities, including hard to find software engineers. You will build high quality pipelines so we do not rely solely on inbound applicants for critical technical roles. Data Driven Execution: Champion our structured interview process. You will ensure scorecards are utilized effectively to reduce bias, maintaining strict data integrity within our ATS, Ashby, to inform hiring decisions. Candidate Experience: Drive an exceptional experience by ensuring transparent communication. You will treat candidates with customer centric speed, ensuring decisions are made in days, not months. Partnership: Collaborate with hiring managers to define technical requirements and ideal talent profiles. You will act as a true consultant on market trends and closing strategies for hard to fill engineering roles, not just an order taker. This role could be a fit for you if you bring: Experience: You have 5+ years of full cycle recruiting experience, specifically for technical roles such as Software Engineering, DevOps or Platform, and Product, within a high growth tech startup. Technical Fluency: You speak the language. You understand the difference between a container and a cluster, and you are comfortable discussing technologies like Kubernetes, Go, and Terraform with candidates. A Track Record on Hard Roles: You have closed genuinely hard to find engineering talent before and know how to build a pipeline when the obvious channels come up empty. Location and Reach: You are based in Germany and ready to be one of vCluster Labs' first hires on the ground in Europe, working across European and US time zones as needed. A Builder Mindset: You are comfortable operating in ambiguity and enjoy refining processes to make them more efficient, especially as you stand up new technical hiring practices for the region. A Data Centric Approach: You value results over tasks. You use data and analytics to track pipeline health and inform decision making. High EQ and Active Listening: You are an effective communicator who genuinely listens to understand the perspectives of both candidates and hiring managers. Bonus points for: ATS Proficiency: Experience with Ashby. Domain Expertise: Experience recruiting for open source technology, developer tools, or Kubernetes focused companies. Global Reach: A background in hiring for distributed, remote first engineering teams. HR Generalist Background: Experience beyond recruiting, such as HR operations, employee relations, or onboarding, that gives you a broader view of the employee lifecycle.
