Hinge Health seeks a strategic Lead Talent Partner to own full-cycle recruiting for the Software Engineering organization. This is a high-impact, visible role partnering closely with senior engineering leaders to translate business priorities into clear talent strategies and deliver exceptional hiring outcomes in a high-bar environment.
You will own end-to-end recruiting for technical talent, serving as a thought partner to engineering leadership. Key responsibilities include: defining role scope, level, and search strategy based on business needs and market reality; building and managing high-quality pipelines for competitive markets; leading searches across senior individual contributors, staff engineers, engineering managers, and other hard-to-find technical profiles; conducting talent mapping for critical and future-looking engineering needs; using recruiting data and funnel insights to diagnose bottlenecks and improve hiring efficiency; leading calibration conversations around level, compensation, and candidate fit; ensuring excellent candidate experience through clear communication and high-touch process management; influencing longer-term headcount planning with market insights; refining job descriptions and interview process design; and raising the bar on engineering recruiting through best-practice sharing and stakeholder coaching.
You are a strategic partner, not an order-taker. You influence senior stakeholders, push on assumptions, and guide teams toward better hiring decisions. You bring strong engineering recruiting judgment, understand how to assess talent across different levels and technical domains, and are highly data-driven, using funnel metrics and market signals to identify issues and improve outcomes. You navigate high-bar technical hiring with credibility among engineering leaders, are thoughtful in calibration conversations, and comfortable advising on tradeoffs between talent quality, speed, and market reality. You care deeply about candidate experience and know that high standards and high humanity go together. You are agile, organized, and energized by high-expectation environments.
Required: 5+ years of full-cycle recruiting or talent partnership experience with meaningful support for Software Engineering or closely related technical functions; track record partnering with senior hiring managers on complex hiring goals; demonstrated success recruiting passive technical talent in competitive markets; strong experience using recruiting data to influence decisions and solve hiring challenges; excellent written and verbal communication skills with ability to build credibility quickly and handle challenging stakeholder dynamics.
Preferred: experience recruiting in fast-paced, high-growth, or mission-driven environments; supporting senior engineering leaders through org design or workforce planning; hiring across technical levels including senior ICs, staff engineers, and engineering managers; improving interview process design and candidate experience; familiarity with healthcare, digital health, AI, platform, or infrastructure environments.
