## About the role

As Lead Tech Recruiter, you will be at the forefront of attracting and securing top technical talent for our data science, engineering, and product teams. Formation Bio is an AI-native pharma company, and this role is built for someone who thinks that way too. You will develop and execute recruiting strategies that reflect how AI is changing both the work our teams do and the way we find, evaluate, and win the people who do it.

## What they're looking for

- At least 5 years of technical recruiting experience, with at least 3 in-house at a tech startup, with bonus points for life sciences, health technology, or AI-focused companies
- A demonstrated obsession with AI and technology, not just as a nice-to-have but as a lens you bring to how you source, evaluate, and think about talent
- Fluency using AI tools (Claude Code, Codex, or similar) to make recruiting materially faster and more effective, with real examples of how you've done this
- Experience filling roles across levels, from senior engineers to management, with a track record of hiring people who had outsized impact after joining
- Experience as a genuine strategic partner to directors, VPs, and CTOs
- Strong project management skills and a track record of delivering process improvements that measurably raised the bar for hiring quality
