Sr. Technical Recruiter

Location: New York, NY (Hudson Square, in office 4 to 5 days/week)

About WithCoverage

WithCoverage replaces the traditional insurance brokerage with AI-supercharged risk management designed for the modern economy.

We partner with hundreds of high-growth, category-defining companies, including GoPuff, Eight Sleep, Bombas, Chomps, and Blank Street Coffee. Our clients span iconic consumer brands, hospitality leaders, GCs, advanced manufacturers, and next-generation defense contractors. They operate in complex risk environments and need a partner that can move at their speed.

Instead of a fragmented, manual brokerage stack, we have built a new category: elite risk advisors operating on top of proprietary technology. Our in-house Agency Management System gives our team and AI agents full visibility into policies, exposures, claims, billing, and commissions. This platform enables deep automation, better decisions, and a fundamentally higher standard of service.

WithCoverage was founded by JD Ross (co-founder of Opendoor) and Max Brenner (Bain, Compound). We have raised over $43M from leading investors including Sequoia, 8VC, Khosla Ventures and Crystal Venture Partners.

Our ambition is not to build a better brokerage. It is to redefine how risk is managed across the economy.

About The Role

As a Sr. Technical Recruiter, you will own full-cycle hiring for Engineering, Product, and Data, the teams building the proprietary technology that sets WithCoverage apart. You'll act as a true talent partner to our engineering and product leaders, bringing the judgment, market knowledge, and closing ability that comes from years of in-house recruiting at high-growth companies. You'll carry our most critical technical searches, including senior and leadership roles, while helping shape how technical hiring scales at WithCoverage.

Serve as a strategic advisor to the Head of Talent and technical hiring managers on role design, leveling, compensation, and ideal candidate profiles, pushing back with market data when needed
Lead proactive, creative sourcing of passive technical talent using LinkedIn Recruiter, GitHub, Gem, Juicebox, and your own networks, with a focus on engineers and product leaders from top startups and growth-stage companies
Pitch and close candidates with confidence, including walking candidates through startup equity (options, vesting, strike price, and how to think about upside) and navigating competing offers
Manage and optimize candidate pipelines in Greenhouse, ensuring an exceptional candidate experience at every stage
Design and run structured interview processes, including calibration sessions, interviewer training, feedback collection, and hiring decisions
Serve as a brand ambassador for WithCoverage, translating our technical roadmap and mission into a compelling narrative for candidates

Build and refine recruiting processes, scorecards, SOPs, and best practices as the engineering org scales
Mentor and raise the bar for other members of the Talent team as the function grows

A proven track record of sourcing and closing passive, senior technical talent in a competitive market
Comfortable and credible pitching equity, explaining how startup compensation works, and helping candidates evaluate offers
A sourcer at heart: you enjoy the hunt and don't rely solely on inbound
Hands-on experience with LinkedIn Recruiter, Greenhouse, Gem, and Juicebox (or comparable tools)
Strong technical fluency, enough to assess candidate profiles, hold credible conversations about engineering roles and stacks, and earn the trust of engineering leaders
Able to manage multiple technical requisitions simultaneously in a fast-paced environment
Strong stakeholder management skills with the ability to influence, advise, and push back with hiring managers and executives
Data-driven and process-oriented, while still being scrappy and adaptable when the situation calls for it
