Preply is a unicorn edtech platform (Series D, $150M) that connects 100,000+ tutors teaching 90+ languages to learners across 180 countries. The company is building human-led, AI-enhanced learning experiences at global scale.
You'll join Preply's high-performing Talent Acquisition team as a Senior Talent Acquisition Partner focused on Engineering hiring. This is a senior individual contributor role—not a management position—for someone who has outgrown pure execution and wants to own the most complex, highest-impact searches while raising the bar across the function.
Key responsibilities:
- Own end-to-end recruitment for niche, hard-to-fill Engineering roles (SRE, Security, senior Engineering Managers) where the market is thin and hiring bar is high
- Build credible partnerships with Engineering Directors, VPs, and Hiring Managers; push back on requirements and advise on realistic hiring strategies
- Execute targeted sourcing for passive, senior technical talent using LinkedIn Recruiter, GitHub, Stack Overflow, and custom approaches
- Track funnel health, conversion, and time-in-stage; diagnose blockers and flag systemic issues
- Contribute to calibration sessions, refine scorecards, and help maintain hiring bar consistency across a large interviewer panel
- Support process improvements, interview training, and employer branding initiatives benefiting the wider Engineering function
- Mentor less experienced TA Partners on difficult roles, offer strategies, and pipeline problem-solving
- Deliver exceptional candidate experience to a highly selective, in-demand talent pool (especially AI/ML specialists)
You'll work closely with the TA Manager for Engineering and help shape how the function sources, assesses, and improves over time. This role is ideal for someone with deep technical recruiting craft, stakeholder gravitas, and a track record of impact beyond their own pipeline.
