Senior Manager, Technical Recruiting
What You'll Do:
CoreWeave's Talent Acquisition team is scaling recruiting and sourcing leadership to keep pace with our hyper-growth. This role owns technical/engineering recruiting for John Mancuso's org — bringing structure, consistency, and strategic direction to a team that's currently more distributed than our growth demands. You'll eventually report into our incoming Director of Business Recruiting as that leadership layer comes online.
About the Role:
As Sr. Manager, Recruiting, you'll lead a pod of technical and engineering-focused recruiters and sourcers, owning full-cycle hiring outcomes for some of CoreWeave's most competitive technical roles. You'll partner directly with senior engineering stakeholders to translate hiring needs into sourcing strategy, bring operational rigor to a team that's ready for it, and build the systems (pipeline reviews, capacity planning, reporting) that let us scale predictably. This is a build role: you're not stepping into a mature machine, you're building one.
In this role, you will:
Build and lead a high-performing pod of technical/engineering recruiters and sourcers
Partner directly with senior engineering leaders to turn hiring needs into effective pipeline strategy
Establish a consistent operating cadence — pipeline reviews, capacity planning, reporting — across the team
Drive measurable improvement in pipeline health, time-to-fill, and conversion rates using data
Coach and develop recruiters and sourcers, raising the bar on execution and judgment
Own end-to-end hiring outcomes for technical/engineering roles across the org
Partner with People, Comp, and HRBP stakeholders on leveling, offers, and calibration
Who You Are:
5+ years of full-cycle technical/engineering recruiting experience, including experience in a people-management or team-lead capacity
Proven experience leading a recruiting and/or sourcing team (pod, team, or org) in a high-growth environment
Demonstrated track record hiring technical/engineering talent (software engineers, applied scientists, infrastructure, or similar) at scale
Experience partnering directly with senior technical stakeholders (VP+ or equivalent)
Hands-on experience using recruiting data and metrics (pipeline conversion, time-to-fill) to drive process improvements
Able to work from the New York City area
Preferred:
Experience recruiting specifically within AI/ML or infrastructure engineering domains
Experience standing up or improving recruiting operations/tooling (ATS workflows, sourcing tech stack)
Experience partnering with People Business Partners on org design or workforce planning
Wondering if you're a good fit? We believe in investing in our people, and value candidates who can bring their own diversified experiences to our teams – even if you aren't a 100% skill or experience match. Here are a few qualities we've found compatible with our team. If some of this describes you, we'd love to talk.
You're energized by ambiguity and enjoy building structure where none exists yet
You're a "player-coach" — just as comfortable recruiting hands-on as you are coaching a team
You're curious about AI infrastructure and want to deepen your domain expertise
You bring data-driven rigor without losing the relationship-building side of recruiting
