Talent Engineer

Bobyard just doubled the team and we’re doing it again.

This is a technical role inside recruiting. You'll own the systems, automations, and data pipelines that power hiring end-to-end. The goal is simple: remove manual work from the recruiting loop so the team can operate faster, with better signal, at higher volume.

You'll make deliberate build-vs-buy calls. Not everything needs a SaaS subscription — some problems are a Python script and a webhook. You know the difference, and you default toward the cheaper, more controllable solution when it's the right one.

Comfortable with APIs, scripting, and data pipelines. You've built automations that run in production — not just prototypes. You have opinions about where LLMs are useful and where they break. You prefer shipping a tool over running a process manually.

Recruiting background not required. Systems mindset and high ownership are.
