Sr. Technical Recruiter

New York City

Sr. Technical Recruiter

Location: New York, NY (Hudson Square, in office 4 to 5 days/week)

About WithCoverage:

WithCoverage replaces the traditional insurance brokerage with AI-supercharged risk management designed for the modern economy. 

We partner with hundreds of high-growth, category-defining companies, including GoPuff, Eight Sleep, Bombas, Chomps, and Blank Street Coffee. Our clients span iconic consumer brands, hospitality leaders, GCs, advanced manufacturers, and next-generation defense contractors. They operate in complex risk environments and need a partner that can move at their speed.

Instead of a fragmented, manual brokerage stack, we have built a new category: elite risk advisors operating on top of proprietary technology. Our in-house Agency Management System gives our team and AI agents full visibility into policies, exposures, claims, billing, and commissions. This platform enables deep automation, better decisions, and a fundamentally higher standard of service.

WithCoverage was founded by JD Ross (co-founder of Opendoor) and Max Brenner (Bain, Compound). We have raised over $43M from leading investors including Sequoia, 8VC, Khosla Ventures and Crystal Venture Partners. 

Our ambition is not to build a better brokerage. It is to redefine how risk is managed across the economy.

Why Join Us:

  • Grow Faster – We’re scaling quickly, giving you significant opportunities to learn, lead, and shape your career and the company's future.
  • Work That Matters – We protect the world’s most innovative brands: consumer icons, hospitality leaders, next-gen defense contractors, and US manufacturers.
  • Redefine an Industry – Insurance is one of the largest, slowest-moving markets. We rewrite the playbook with proprietary technology, automation, and AI.
  • Financial Rewards – We hire the best and invest in you. That means competitive comp, meaningful equity, and excellent benefits. We believe strongly in internal promotion and lay out a plan for everyone's career growth.

About The Role

As a Sr. Technical Recruiter, you will own full-cycle hiring for Engineering, Product, and Data, the teams building the proprietary technology that sets WithCoverage apart. You'll act as a true talent partner to our engineering and product leaders, bringing the judgment, market knowledge, and closing ability that comes from years of in-house recruiting at high-growth companies. You'll carry our most critical technical searches, including senior and leadership roles, while helping shape how technical hiring scales at WithCoverage.

What You'll Do

  • Own end-to-end recruiting for Software Engineering, Product Management, Data Science/Engineering, and adjacent technical roles, from intake through offer and close, including senior IC and leadership searches
  • Serve as a strategic advisor to the Head of Talent and technical hiring managers on role design, leveling, compensation, and ideal candidate profiles, pushing back with market data when needed
  • Lead proactive, creative sourcing of passive technical talent using LinkedIn Recruiter, GitHub, Gem, Juicebox, and your own networks, with a focus on engineers and product leaders from top startups and growth-stage companies
  • Pitch and close candidates with confidence, including walking candidates through startup equity (options, vesting, strike price, and how to think about upside) and navigating competing offers
  • Manage and optimize candidate pipelines in Greenhouse, ensuring an exceptional candidate experience at every stage
  • Design and run structured interview processes, including calibration sessions, interviewer training, feedback collection, and hiring decisions
  • Serve as a brand ambassador for WithCoverage, translating our technical roadmap and mission into a compelling narrative for candidates
  • Track and report on recruiting metrics (time-to-fill, pass-through rates, offer acceptance rate, pipeline health), and use them to drive improvements in hiring quality and speed
  • Build and refine recruiting processes, scorecards, SOPs, and best practices as the engineering org scales
  • Mentor and raise the bar for other members of the Talent team as the function grows

Who You Are

  • 5 to 10 years of full-cycle technical recruiting experience, with the majority spent in-house recruiting for Engineering and Product roles
  • Experience at a startup or growth-stage company, ideally through a period of rapid scaling
  • A proven track record of sourcing and closing passive, senior technical talent in a competitive market
  • Comfortable and credible pitching equity, explaining how startup compensation works, and helping candidates evaluate offers
  • A sourcer at heart: you enjoy the hunt and don't rely solely on inbound
  • Hands-on experience with LinkedIn Recruiter, Greenhouse, Gem, and Juicebox (or comparable tools)
  • Strong technical fluency, enough to assess candidate profiles, hold credible conversations about engineering roles and stacks, and earn the trust of engineering leaders
  • Able to manage multiple technical requisitions simultaneously in a fast-paced environment
  • Strong stakeholder management skills with the ability to influence, advise, and push back with hiring managers and executives
  • Data-driven and process-oriented, while still being scrappy and adaptable when the situation calls for it
  • Passionate about building diverse, high-performing technical teams

Preferred (not required):

  • Recruiting experience within insurtech, fintech, or other regulated industries
  • Experience hiring engineering or product leadership (Manager, Director, or Head of level)
  • Experience using AI or automation tools to improve sourcing or recruiting workflows

For candidates based in New York City, the pay range for this position at the start of employment is expected to be between $140,000 and $170,000/year.
