About The Role

As a People Technology Engineer (Recruitment), you will turn complex recruitment requirements into seamless digital experiences, ensuring our systems from SmartRecruiters and candidate scheduling tools to Workday Recruiting are scalable, secure, and intuitive for every candidate and hiring manager. You will own the functional health of our talent acquisition domains, ensuring our hiring tools evolve alongside the business. Crucially, you won't just be maintaining the current state; you will have a seat at the table in evaluating new tech, piloting emerging tools, and actively deciding the future architecture of our recruitment tech stack. This is an engineering‑mindset role where you will apply technical rigor to functional configuration, system logic, applicant workflows, and security design.

How We Work

We apply engineering principles to People Tech. You’ll be part of a team that values documentation, peer reviews, and scalable architecture. We empower teams to make decisions and take ownership. We value clear outcomes, strong cross‑functional partnerships, and measurable impact.

What will you be working on?

  • Functional Configuration: Lead the hands‑on configuration of Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) like SmartRecruiters, onboarding modules, automated scheduling tools, and Workday recruitment touchpoints, building complex hiring processes and custom validations.
  • Domain Ownership: Take responsibility for the reliability and performance of specific recruitment and talent acquisition tools, ensuring they have appropriate support, documentation, and logic.
  • Stakeholder Consultation: Partner with Talent Acquisition leaders and hiring teams to design and implement technology solutions that optimise candidate experience, increase operational efficiency, and maintain compliance.
  • Operational Excellence: Manage and resolve complex technical support queries via Jira, identifying root causes in the recruitment pipeline and implementing long‑term functional fixes.
