Technical Recruiter - Engineering & Data

Dave vs. Goliath. We're Dave.

We believe everyone deserves access to their own money without predatory fees. Today, 12.4 million people use Dave to access their paychecks early, build credit, and take control of their finances. We're profitable, publicly traded (NASDAQ: DAVE), and growing 64% year-over-year.

As we scale, we need our hiring system to scale with us - without sacrificing quality or burning out the team. That's where you come in.

The Role

You'll own full-cycle recruiting primarily for Engineering and Data - the technical roles that power Dave's product development. Think Software Engineers, Data Analysts, Data Engineers, and similar positions, with opportunities to support other functions as the business grows.

This is hands-on, high-impact work. You'll build pipelines, run searches end-to-end, and be accountable for hiring outcomes. The volume is real, but the bar is high - we're building a world-class organization, which means every hire matters.

You'll work within a clear hiring system with defined standards and structured processes - the foundation that lets you move fast without sacrificing quality or candidate experience.

What You'll Own

• Full-cycle recruiting for Engineering and Data roles (SWE, Data Analysts, similar technical positions)

• Kickoffs and intake aligned to clear role definitions and hiring standards

• Pipeline building through smart sourcing - outbound, inbound, diverse channels

• Recruiter screens that surface both technical capability and cultural fit

• Managing candidates through structured, fair interview processes

• Offer coordination and closing - balancing speed, equity, and quality

• Using data and our ATS (Ashby) to track pipeline health and spot risks early

• Flagging issues when timing, alignment, or decisions get stuck

What We're Looking For

Experience:

• 4+ years of full-cycle technical recruiting for Engineering and Data roles.

• Demonstrated experience in high-velocity and high-volume recruiting environments

• Strong sourcing fundamentals - you know how to find technical talent without solely relying on tools. Boolean logic is something you utilize across a variety of platforms

• Experience managing end-to-end hiring processes independently, including, but not limited to: requisition kickoffs, sourcing, interviews, offer negotiation, and closing.

• Comfortable working within structured processes and evaluation frameworks

• Clear communicator with strong follow-through

• Bonus: Ashby or modern ATS experience

What makes someone successful here:

You see recruiting as real work worth doing well. You’re organized, judgment-driven, and effective within structured systems, without losing sight of outcomes. You build diverse pipelines, run fair processes, create strong candidate experiences, and show up as a collaborative, inclusive teammate.

What to expect:

This is a Recruiter role focused on hands-on execution within an established recruiting system. You'll own full-cycle searches end-to-end, but you'll execute within frameworks and processes that already exist rather than building them.

Here's what that looks like day-to-day: You'll run searches using our defined interview processes and evaluation standards. You'll partner closely with TA leadership on complex stakeholder situations, strategic recommendations, and process questions. You'll focus on what makes recruiting excellent - building strong pipelines, delivering great candidate experiences, hitting your metrics, and closing quality hires.

If you're coming from a Senior+ role, please take a moment to honestly assess whether that's what you're looking for right now.

This role is great for someone who: wants to do excellent full-cycle recruiting work with clear ownership and solid support, values working within strong systems rather than building them from scratch, and finds satisfaction in execution mastery and candidate relationships.

There's real growth potential here, but it starts with demonstrating impact in this scope first.

Why Join

Real ownership: Clear accountability for roles that directly support company growth. Your work makes scaling possible.

Strong team and system: Partner with experienced recruiters. Work within structured processes with good tooling (Ashby). You won't be figuring it out alone.

Room to grow: Growth at Dave isn’t a preset ladder - it’s about expanding influence, ownership, and problem space as the work (and your interests) evolve.

Mission and impact: Help build teams that create products used by millions of members. Your hires directly enable Dave's mission.

Don’t let imposter syndrome get in your way of an incredible opportunity. We’re looking for people who can help us achieve our mission and vision, not just check off the boxes. If you’re excited about this role, we encourage you to apply. You may just be the right candidate for this or other roles.

Why you’ll love working here:
