You'll partner with engineering and revenue leadership to redefine what great FDE hiring looks like at scale, as part of a small, high-bar team with an uncompromising standard for quality of hire. If you're energized by ownership, creative problem-solving, and building hiring systems that scale, this role will stretch and level up your career.
