About the Role

We're looking for an exceptional Technical Recruiter to own full-cycle recruiting for hard-to-fill engineering roles. You'll report into the VP of People and be responsible for sourcing strategy, candidate quality, hiring manager partnership, and closing outcomes.

As a lean, fast-moving startup, this role will also flex to support hiring for other functions as business needs and market conditions evolve. You’ll partner closely with founders and leaders across the company, operate with a high degree of autonomy, and be expected to deliver results in a competitive talent market.

What You'll Do

• Own full-cycle recruiting from sourcing to offer acceptance across multiple roles & engineering specializations

• Partner with engineering and leadership to deeply understand technical needs, team context, and success profiles

• Source and engage passive engineering candidates through creative outreach strategies

• Run structured, high-signal interview processes that balance speed with quality

• Maintain strong candidate experience and clear, timely communication throughout the process

• Use data to track pipeline health, identify bottlenecks, and continuously improve outcomes

• Close candidates in competitive situations, often against well-funded competitors

What You'll Bring

• 4+ years of experience recruiting engineers in fast-growing tech companies

• Proven success hiring for difficult, competitive, or highly technical roles

• Strong sourcing chops. You enjoy the hunt and don’t wait for inbound

• High technical curiosity. You don’t need to code, but you can hold your own with engineers

• Startup or high-growth experience where speed and quality both matter

• Excellent stakeholder management skills. You can push back when needed and drive alignment

• Clear, direct communicator who values quality and follow-through

• A bias for action, ownership, and results

Nice to Have

• Experience recruiting for infrastructure, platform, data, or backend-heavy teams

• Web3, blockchain, or cryptocurrency recruiting experience

Why Helius?

• High-impact work: Partner directly with senior engineering leaders to build critical infrastructure powering next-generation applications. Your work will materially shape the team and the product.

• Real ownership: Own and influence how we hire engineers end-to-end. You’ll help define success profiles, sourcing strategy, and hiring process, not just execute against reqs.

• Remote-first flexibility: Work where you’re most effective with a flexible, fully distributed team.

• Competitive comp & perks: Market-leading salary, meaningful equity, generous vacation, wellness budgets, and support for learning and travel.

• Mission-driven team: Join ambitious builders who move fast, take ownership, and are shaping the future of decentralized apps.
