About the Role

Watney is looking for a Senior Recruiter to join our fast-growing talent function and help us build one of the most exceptional teams in robotics. You'll work closely with our founders and team to keep candidates moving efficiently through our process, making sure every person who touches Watney has an exceptional experience.

This is a hands-on, full cycle recruiting opportunity to scale Watney from 25 to 60+ by the end of the year. You will own full-cycle recruiting across multiple disciplines simultaneously: technical, GTM, operational, and leadership roles.

We're looking for someone who takes candidate experience personally, loves a well-run process, and is energized by working at a company that's doing something genuinely hard and important.

What You’ll Do

  • Build and refine sourcing strategies that go beyond volume: creative outbound, referral networks, and community engagement.
  • Help shape Watney's recruiting function, employer brand and candidate experience from first touch to offer.
  • Work cross-functionally with founders and operators to keep hiring running smoothly.
  • Maintain clean, accurate records in our ATS (Ashby) and help build out our tracking infrastructure.
  • Coordinate interviews, work trials, and candidate communications across all active searches.
  • Help draft and post job descriptions, assist with scheduling, and keep the pipeline moving without bottlenecks.

You May Be a Good Fit If You

  • Have 4+ years of experience as a full-cycle recruiter, ideally at a fast-moving startup or tech company.
  • Are an exceptional top-of-funnel operator: you find candidates others miss, and you create pipeline in unique ways.
  • Are obsessively organized and take pride in running a tight, candidate-friendly process.
  • Communicate clearly and warmly: candidates feel cared for, not processed.
  • Are comfortable navigating ambiguity and shifting priorities without losing track of the details.
  • Learn tools quickly and are comfortable in Ashby or a comparable ATS.
  • Are genuinely curious about robotics, AI, or deep tech. You don't need to be an engineer, but you should be excited by what Watney is building.
