About the opportunity

We are looking for an experienced Senior Technical Recruiter to help Sydecar continue scaling our engineering and product teams during a pivotal stage of growth. This is a hands-on individual contributor role for someone who enjoys being close to the work while also helping shape how recruiting evolves as the company grows.

This role reports to the Head of People and will own full-cycle recruiting for high-priority technical and product roles. Sydecar already has a strong recruiting foundation in place, and this role is an opportunity to build on that work thoughtfully by refining processes, improving systems, and raising the bar on hiring quality.

This is a hybrid role based in San Francisco (FiDi) or New York (Flatiron), with in-office attendance two days per week.

What you'll be doing

• Own end-to-end recruiting for software engineering and product roles, from kickoff through close

• Partner with the People team and hiring managers on occasional non-technical roles, prioritizing based on business needs and capacity

• Partner closely with hiring managers to define success profiles and align on hiring strategy

• Build and maintain strong pipelines of passive candidates through proactive sourcing and long-term relationship building

• Act as a trusted talent partner by sharing market context, calibration guidance, and data-informed hiring recommendations

• Deliver a high-quality candidate experience through clear communication, thoughtful engagement, and strong follow-through

• Operate and continuously improve recruiting workflows and tools, including Ashby, LinkedIn Recruiter, Granola, and Juicebox

• Use recruiting data such as pipeline health, time to fill, source quality, and offer acceptance rates to guide decisions and improve outcomes

• Continuously improve interview practices and hiring processes in partnership with the People team and hiring leaders

What we're looking for

• 5+ years of in-house, full-cycle recruiting experience, including time in a rapidly growing startup environment

• Proven experience hiring software engineers and product managers

• Strong track record of sourcing, engaging, and closing passive candidates in competitive markets

• Demonstrated ability to build trusted, effective partnerships with hiring managers and senior stakeholders

• Data-driven mindset with the ability to use both metrics and qualitative insight to improve hiring outcomes

• Strong business acumen and curiosity to understand how Sydecar operates and grows

• Excellent communication, organization, and ownership in an evolving environment

Bonus if you have

• Experience improving or scaling recruiting processes, systems, or hiring infrastructure

• Intellectual curiosity about private markets, alternative assets, or venture investing

• Experience recruiting for fintech, infrastructure, or early-stage companies

Sydecar’s values

Our values are important to the way we live and work at Sydecar. They guide our priorities, behaviors and interactions.

Be Committed

As a team, we rise to meet challenges and recognize that we become stronger and develop character when facing adversity.

Be Excellent

We measure our success not just by what we achieve, but by how we achieve it—through integrity, creativity, elegance, and a commitment to continuous improvement. Excellence is not just doing things well—it's looking for ways to do them better.

Be Humble

Humility is our key to personal and professional growth. We appreciate that great ideas can come from anywhere, regardless of seniority, pedigree, or experience. We care more about collective outcomes than who gets credit or who does what. We try to not let our ego cloud our judgment.

Win Together

Winning is no accident. It is the result of collective hard work, perseverance, sacrifice, and most of all, loving what we do. Winning requires that we give extra—sometimes winning calls for late nights or extra effort, and we show up for clients and each other with urgency and heart. While excellence is a journey, winning is a destination.
