Why we need you

Our current team is small and we want to triple it this year. The ambitious part isn't the number - it's finding the right people. People who want to work on hard, interesting problems and actually change something in the world.

You'd join a small People & Talent team: Dani, Nicole, Lyn.

What you'll be doing day to day

• Run technical hiring end-to-end: from first convo to offer, you're managing multiple roles at a time.

• Source like it matters: outbound is core - you'll be consistently building pipeline. Junction isn't a household name, so your message needs to stand out.

• Build our network in European eng: we want to be known, you'll help us build it up - through content, community, intros, events, whatever works.

• Keep momentum: chase feedback, unblock decisions, and keep great candidates moving through the process.

• Partner closely with hiring managers: get clear on what we actually need, build sensible interview plans, and keep the bar high.

• Treat candidates well: fast process, clear comms, even a "no" should feel respectful of their time.

• Tighten how we hire: we've got the base - you'll help sharpen scorecards, calibration, and feedback loops. Just enough structure to make good decisions without slowing everyone down.

• Feedback what you're seeing with data: comp expectations, candidate feedback, where we're losing people, and what we should change.

Requirements

• Technical recruiting experience: you've hired senior talent at an early stage company at a high bar. You can hold a real conversation about the problem space and get them excited about it.

• High agency operator: you don't wait around. You figure it out, follow through, and keep things moving.

• In it to build something: you want ownership, you want the responsibility, and you want to look back in two years and point at the team you helped build.

• Care about every hire: we're tackling an ambitious problem and every hire shapes the trajectory of the business.

• Sourcing first mindset: you actually like outbound and get energy from it. You know which companies have great teams, what they're working on, and what their engineering culture is like.

• Strong judgment: you know what great looks like, and you can back up your call with reasoning.

What this role isn't

• You don't want to source: outbound is a big part of the job, even with a pipeline in place.

• You want a fully polished process on day one: the foundation is good, but there's still work to do on calibration, brand, and network building.

• You prefer high volume recruiting: we care more about great hires than speed for the sake of it.

• You want to recruit across every function: this role is focused on technical roles.

• You're looking for a people manager role: this is an individual contributor role, you'll be hands on in the work.
