We're hiring a Product Recruiter to own hiring for Product Delivery across Engine — from Product Manager to Product Design and Growth, senior ICs to Leadership. You'll partner directly with our C-level leaders and cross-functional Directors to build the org that is responsible for defining how our products look, feel, and function for years to come.
This is a hands-on seat. You'll be building the sourcing motion, interview process, and hiring bar for design at Engine from the ground up. Portfolio calibration, evaluation rubrics, stakeholder alignment, market mapping — you'll shape all of it. If you like inheriting a playbook, this isn't the role. If you like writing one, keep reading.

- Partner with Product, Marketing and Growth leaders as a true talent advisor
- Redesign the Product Design hiring process at Engine: rubrics, interview loops, portfolio review standards, calibration sessions, and scorecards
- Develop deep market maps of the design community and build long-term pipelines of exceptional creative talent
- Use data to influence hiring decisions, forecast pipeline health, and hold the bar on quality
- Manage senior stakeholders — including C-level and Director-level partners — with clarity, speed, and confidence
- Represent Engine's brand and mission to top-tier candidates, from first outreach to signed offer
- Flex into GTM recruitment and other areas as priorities shift
- 6+ years (or deep expertise) of full-cycle recruiting experience, with a strong preference for in-house environments
- Deep experience hiring Product Managers, Product Design, Growth/Marketing, and adjacent talent
- A track record of building recruiting processes and functions from 0 to 1 — you've done this before and you know what "from scratch" actually feels like
- A sharp eye for design quality and confidence running portfolio reviews and design-specific evaluation loops
- Strong stakeholder management chops — you can hold a room with C-level and Director-level partners, push back when needed, and move things forward
- The ability to influence with data — pipeline metrics, funnel analytics, market benchmarks, and comp data are how you make your case
- Speed and resilience — you move fast without dropping the ball, and you thrive in ambiguity
- Willingness and ability to pivot into Product hiring as needed
