BackOps is hiring its first in-house technical recruiter to build out the engineering and product teams as the company scales. BackOps builds agentic AI that automates supply chain operations—rethinking infrastructure from the ground up rather than wrapping AI around legacy tools. The company is ~50 people, Series A-funded by Theory Ventures, Gradient, Construct Capital, and 10VC, and headquartered in San Francisco.
In this full-cycle recruiting role, you will own end-to-end technical hiring across engineering, product, and adjacent technical functions. You'll report to the Head of People & Talent and have autonomy over your sourcing strategy, interview design, and candidate closing approach. The role is high-volume and requires relentless sourcing of passive candidates—inbound alone won't fill the pipeline. You'll partner closely with hiring managers to calibrate hiring bars, run structured interview loops, and track funnel metrics like time-to-fill and offer-accept rates. You'll represent BackOps authentically to candidates, telling the company's story and closing with conviction.
You'll manage multiple technical searches simultaneously while maintaining quality and candidate experience. Success means consistently surfacing high-caliber passive candidates, winning offers against competing companies, and improving your own recruiting metrics over time.
The ideal candidate has 4–7 years of full-cycle recruiting experience, with meaningful time at early-stage or high-growth startups. You have a proven track record hiring engineers, infrastructure specialists, and product managers with a high, well-calibrated bar. You're a relentless sourcer who hunts rather than waits, a strong closer with a track record of winning candidates, and a clear communicator who can authentically represent company mission and culture. You're based in or willing to relocate to San Francisco and can commit to at least 3 days per week in the office.
