- 10+ years in Talent Acquisition, with significant experience leading global TA functions at a fast-scaling technology company

- Deep experience hiring for software engineering and AI/ML roles, with direct exposure to infrastructure, cloud, or data center hiring a strong plus
- A track record influencing senior technical and executive leaders on hiring strategy, headcount planning, and org growth
- Experience building and scaling employer brand and sourcing strategy in highly competitive technical talent markets
- Strong command of TA metrics and data, you run the function like an operator, not on instinct alone
