We're seeking a specialist engineering recruiter to lead engineering hiring at Omnea – not a generalist talent lead. We want someone who has deeply immersed themselves in engineering recruitment, understands the London market inside and out, and has played a key role in scaling an engineering team from 20 to 100+ engineers.
What You'll Do
- Lead end-to-end engineering hiring across Omnea's 10 engineering teams
- Source, engage, and recruit Senior product engineers in London's highly competitive market
- Build and maintain a warm pipeline of passive candidates—the best engineers are rarely on the market
- Shape and champion the engineering EVP
- Partner with engineering leadership to define and uphold a high hiring standard, even as we grow quickly
- Design and refine the hiring process to reduce time-to-hire without compromising on quality
- Think creatively about Omnea's presence to candidates, including brand, content, community, and events
- Own your pipeline metrics and know your numbers
What We're Looking For
- 3+ years in an engineering-focused agency
- 2+ years in-house at a respected, fast-paced London tech startup dedicated to engineering hiring
- Experience scaling an engineering team from around 20 to over 100 engineers
- At least 5 years of engineering hiring experience in total
- Deep knowledge of London's competitive engineering market
- A track record of hiring to a very high standard – e.g., Monzo, Attio, incident.io, PostHog, Paddle level
- Active contributions to an engineering EVP
- Ability to have informed, credible conversations with Senior and Staff-level product engineers about why Omnea is worth their time
This role isn't for you if
- You've only hired engineers as part of a generalist remit
- You haven't worked in-house at a high-standard London tech startup
- You require extensive process infrastructure to operate effectively
Interview Process
- Stage 1: Initial screen (30 mins, remote)
- Stage 2: Hiring manager screen (30 mins, remote)
- Stage 3: Take-home challenge followed by a challenge review (45 mins, remote)
- Stage 4: In-person with Head of Talent and CFO/COO, and coffee with an Omnea engineer
- Stage 5: Final interview with CEO & Co-Founder
Benefits and Working Conditions
- Competitive geo‐localised benefits – see UK and US benefits packages
- Work schedule: Tuesdays, Wednesdays & Thursdays in‐person at our offices
- We embrace diversity and encourage applications from all backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives
Diversity and Inclusion
At Omnea, we embrace diversity. To build a product that's loved by everyone, we're best served by a team with all sorts of backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives. We encourage you to apply even if your experience doesn't quite match the full job spec! And regardless of your race, religion, colour, gender, or anything else!
