Senior Technical Recruiter

is building the essential technology infrastructure for the everyday economy: the businesses, organizations, and services that make real life work, and that mainstream tech has largely left behind. We acquire, operate, and grow vertical market software companies. They are niche, founder-built businesses serving industries that are often overlooked and too profitable to ignore.

Our model is simple: we seek out founders who have built their business by spending years understanding their market and prioritizing their customers' specific needs. We buy great businesses, invest in their continued growth, and hold them permanently, accelerating that growth with an AI-native platform built specifically for vertical market software. No mandate to cut, flip, or roll up into something unrecognizable.

We are not a financial firm. We are technology entrepreneurs and operators who believe the most important businesses in the world are already running quietly in industries most people never think about. Our job is to find them, support the people who built them, and make them better.

Beacon is backed by a diverse base of investors, with $550M+ raised to date, including General Catalyst, Lightspeed, D1 Capital, CPMG, the family offices of the founders of Stripe, DoorDash, and Ramp, and evergreen funds built for the long game.

About the Role

Fresh off a $225M Series C, we're acquiring companies at pace and the hiring demand that comes with it is real. We're looking for a Senior Technical Recruiter who can operate at that velocity without sacrificing quality. You'll own full-cycle recruiting across engineering and product for Beacon and its portfolio companies, working directly with technical leaders to build teams in markets like San Francisco, Toronto, and New York.

What You'll Be Doing

• Full-cycle ownership. From first outreach to signed offer across engineering, product, and adjacent functions. You run the process; you don't hand it off.

• Strategic partnership. You'll work directly with engineering and product leaders to build hiring strategies that fit today's market, not last year's playbook.

• Creative sourcing. LinkedIn is the floor, not the ceiling. GitHub, niche communities, your own network, and AI-assisted tooling are all in play.

• Operational rigor. We use Ashby and we take our data seriously. Clean pipelines, tight feedback loops, and disciplined process are non-negotiable.

• The close. You know how to navigate comp conversations and competing offers without losing your composure or your candidate.

• Brand building. You'll help tell the Beacon story in the markets we're hiring in and make candidates want to be part of what we're building.

What You Bring

• 7+ years of technical recruiting experience with a track record of senior engineering hires that you're proud of.

• Comfort in high-growth, fast-changing environments. You don't need a manual; you're happy to write one.

• Technical fluency. You can calibrate on engineering talent without needing a hiring manager to hold your hand.

• Communication that's polished and authentic, whether it's cold outreach or a high-stakes offer call.

• Self-direction. You know how to prioritize, manage your time, and deliver without being supervised.

• Hands-on experience with Ashby or Greenhouse.

• BA/BS degree.

Bonus Points

• You've recruited PMs and understand what makes a great one.

• Agency background. You know what urgency feels like and you don't need to manufacture it.

• An active Bay Area network in the startup/tech ecosystem.

• You've built interview rubrics and calibration processes from scratch because you believe in a fair, data-driven bar.

Our Values at Beacon Software

• : We acknowledge that the path to getting to the right answer involves being wrong along the way. We have strong beliefs which are weakly held. We actively seek new ideas and believe we can learn from anyone at any time.

• : We are truth seeking in our approach to business problems. Business is a repeat game and we believe that human relationships generate alpha. We understand that trust is earned over a lifetime and can be lost in an instant.

• : We play to win. We hold ourselves to high standards and will not be outworked. We take pride in having a deep sense of responsibility to ourselves, each other, our partners, and our customers. We believe to whom much is given much is expected.

• : We seek to build a generational software company. This will take decades. We manage our expectations and those of our partners to take advantage of the 8th wonder of the world - compounding growth.

How We Use AI in Our Hiring Process: To ensure transparency, we want candidates to know that Beacon Software uses Artificial Intelligence and AI-enabled tools to assist with screening, reviewing, organizing and highlighting profiles and applications that match the key requirements for each role.

AI does not make hiring decisions: Every application is reviewed by a member of our team, and all decisions throughout the process are made by humans. We use AI to support efficiency and consistency, not to replace human judgment. We are committed to a fair, thoughtful, and equitable experience for every candidate.
