- Build a proactive sourcing engine that reaches people who are not actively looking
- Partner with leaders to understand the business need behind each hire and define what exceptional performance looks like
- Turn our hiring philosophy into useful scorecards, interview formats, competencies, and disqualifiers
- Improve interviews so they reveal authentic ability, judgment, ownership, curiosity, and working style
- Use work reviews, live demonstrations, technical discussions, and “show me” prompts where they reveal more than traditional interview questions
- Build long-term relationships with exceptional people before we have an open role
- Build onboarding that helps new hires understand Expo, our products, customers, culture, and expectations quickly
- Partner with managers on clear ramp plans and expectations for new hires
- Help create lightweight systems for feedback, performance, compensation, and career development

Skills
- You are a builder who happens to work in recruiting. You create systems, experiment, use technology and AI, and personally jump into hard problems
- You have recruited exceptional technical talent at a high-growth technology company
- You can earn credibility with engineers, product leaders, and GTM builders because you are genuinely curious about their craft
- You are excellent at finding people who are not applying, developing relationships with them, and bringing them from first conversation through close
- You have strong judgment about people and can distinguish someone who interviews well from someone who will create sustained impact
- You are comfortable challenging a hiring manager, reopening a search, or leaving a role open when the talent bar has not been met
- You know recruiting is a team sport. You make hiring managers, interviewers, founders, and employees active participants in identifying and closing great people
- You understand that great recruiting starts before a candidate enters the funnel. Building great products, doing great work, and sharing that work publicly creates the reputation that attracts exceptional people. You help Expo build that reputation
- You prefer evidence over interview theater. You want to see what someone has built, how they think, how they make decisions, and how they work
- You can move comfortably between recruiting strategy and the details of sourcing, interview preparation, candidate experience, closing, and onboarding
- You communicate clearly, give candid feedback, and care deeply about building an exceptional company
- Expo is hiring across the United States
- Experience with developer tools, infrastructure, open source, or deeply technical products is especially valuable
