Pallet is building AI agents to transform the physical economy and logistics industry—a $12 trillion global market. The company has raised $50M from top-tier investors including General Catalyst, Bessemer Venture Partners, and Bain Capital Ventures, achieving 700% revenue growth in under two years.
This is a founding technical recruiting role with true 0→1 ownership. You will be Pallet's first dedicated Senior Technical Recruiter, responsible for building the engineering organization as the company scales from ~100 to 200+ employees. This is not a support function—recruiting is treated as a core strategic business lever at Pallet.
You will own technical recruiting end-to-end, partnering closely with the Head of Talent, engineering leadership, and founders to hire across Product, Platform, FDE, and AI/ML roles. Your responsibilities include:
• Sourcing and closing senior, high-bar engineering talent in competitive SF and NYC markets
• Making your first hire within ~45 days and sustaining ~2 high-quality engineering hires per month
• Running complete end-to-end searches: role scoping, sourcing, pipeline management, interview coordination, and closing
• Protecting Pallet's technical hiring bar through rigorous screening and thoughtful candidate evaluation
• Building trust with senior engineering candidates via white-glove candidate experience and credible selling
• Using data and candidate feedback to diagnose pipeline or close issues and adapt strategy in real time
• Acting as a true strategic partner to engineering leadership, bringing structure and judgment without requiring hand-holding
• Increasing leverage across the technical recruiting system while remaining hands-on
You'll be embedded with engineering leadership, deeply understand the product and technical roadmap, and play a direct role in shaping the team building Pallet's AI agents. The impact is immediate, visible, and long-lasting. The role includes meaningful equity upside and the opportunity to set the foundation for technical recruiting as Pallet scales.
