• Experience recruiting in complex, hardware-adjacent environments, such as hardware and software, robotics, IoT, or manufacturing-driven companies.

• Strong technical acumen: you go deep enough to evaluate real signal, whether that's through technical conversations, portfolio review, or knowing what good code actually looks like.

• Sound judgment under pace: you move fast without sacrificing candidate experience or the technical bar.

At Base, Talent is one of the highest-leverage functions in the company. We believe the quality of our team determines the quality of everything we build, so hiring isn't a support function, it's a core part of our strategy.

Our team partners directly with leaders across Engineering, Operations, Product, Growth, Finance, Legal, People, and beyond to identify exceptional talent and build the teams that will define the future of Base. We own the hiring process end-to-end, challenge assumptions, raise the bar, and move with urgency.

We're building a Talent organization that combines exceptional judgment with operational excellence. We care deeply about candidate experience, hiring quality, and creating scalable systems that help the company grow without compromising on talent density.
