Senior Recruiter, Engineering

About the role

We're seeking a specialist engineering recruiter to lead engineering hiring at Omnea - not a generalist talent lead. We want someone who has deeply immersed themselves in engineering recruitment, understands the London market inside and out, and has played a key role in scaling an engineering team from 20 to 100+ engineers. You'll work directly with engineering leadership, enjoying full autonomy over the hiring process. You'll own sourcing, pipeline management, the hiring process, and the candidate experience from start to finish. This is a high-impact, high-visibility role. Every hire you make will directly influence the company's trajectory.

Responsibilities

• Lead end-to-end engineering hiring across Omnea's 10 engineering teams
• Source, engage, and recruit Senior product engineers in London's highly competitive market
• Build and maintain a warm pipeline of passive candidates-the best engineers are rarely on the market
• Shape and champion the engineering EVP
• Partner with engineering leadership to define and uphold a high hiring standard, even as we grow quickly
• Design and refine the hiring process to reduce time-to-hire without compromising on quality
• Think creatively about Omnea's presence to candidates, including brand, content, community, and events
• Own your pipeline metrics and know your numbers

Requirements

• 3+ years in an engineering-focused agency
• 2+ years in-house at a respected, fast-paced London tech startup dedicated to engineering hiring
• Experience scaling an engineering team from around 20 to over 100 engineers
• At least 5 years of engineering hiring experience in total
• Deep knowledge of London's competitive engineering market
• A track record of hiring to a very high standard-think Monzo, Attio, incident.io , PostHog, Paddle level
• Active contributions to an engineering EVP
• Ability to have informed, credible conversations with Senior and Staff-level product engineers about why Omnea is worth their time
• This role isn't for you if:
• You've only hired engineers as part of a generalist remit
• You haven't worked in-house at a high-standard London tech startup
• You require extensive process infrastructure to operate effectively

Additional Information

Our Mission At Omnea, we're reinventing how enterprise businesses operate, starting with the most painful parts: procurement - where a single purchase can drag on for months, trigger 50+ emails , and pull in Finance, Legal, Security, and IT just to get something approved. We've raised $75M from Khosla Ventures, Insight Partners, and Accel to change that. Our AI-native platform connects every person, step, and system so buying is fast, safe, and efficient - one place to request, automated approvals and renewals, real-time supplier risk, and complete spend visibility. The opportunity is massive. Every enterprise on the planet has this problem and nobody has solved it . We've 10x'd ARR to double-digit millions in 18 months and are trusted by global enterprises like Spotify, MongoDB, Monzo, and Albertsons. We're now the 4th fastest growing startup in Europe & the Sunday Times' #1 Best Medium Sized Tech Company To Work for. Our team previously scaled Tessian ( cybersecurity tech, backed by Sequoia, Balderton, Accel , acquired post-Series C), and our team includes ex-founders operators who've grown unicorns, shipped world-class products, and executed at the highest levels. You'll work alongside leaders like Ben , Abs , Sabrina , and Rebe . Find out more about the team and life at Omnea here .
