We are looking for a highly strategic and execution-focused Staff Software Recruiter to help scale some of the most critical engineering organizations within the company. This person will own full-cycle recruiting for complex software engineering functions with a particular emphasis on Autonomy, Robotics, Embedded Software, Perception, Planning, Controls, Distributed Systems, and other highly specialized technical domains supporting next-generation aerospace and autonomous systems development.
This is not a traditional recruiting role. We are looking for someone who can operate as a true talent partner to engineering leadership, helping shape hiring strategy, influence workforce planning, drive prioritization discipline, and build scalable pipelines for some of the hardest-to-hire technical talent in the industry.
The ideal candidate thrives in high-growth, high-ambiguity environments and brings a strong track record of closing senior and niche software engineering talent while balancing speed, quality, and stakeholder partnership.
Full-time regular employee offer package:
Pay within range listed + Bonus + Benefits + Equity
Temporary employee offer package:
Pay within range listed above + temporary benefits package (applicable after 60 days of employment)
Salary compensation is influenced by a wide array of factors including but not limited to skill set, level of experience, licenses and certifications, and specific work location. All offers are contingent on a cleared background and possible reference check. Military fellows and part-time employees are not eligible for benefits. Please speak to your talent acquisition representative for more information.
###
Shield AI is proud to be an equal opportunity workplace and is an affirmative action employer. We are committed to equal employment opportunity regardless of race, color, ancestry, religion, sex, national origin, sexual orientation, age, marital status, disability, gender identity or Veteran status. If you have a disability or special need that requires accommodation, please let us know.
WHAT YOU’LL DO:
Own full-cycle recruiting for highly specialized software engineering roles across Autonomy, Robotics, Perception, Planning, Embedded Software, Distributed Systems, Simulation, Machine Learning, Infrastructure, and related technical domains
Build and execute proactive sourcing strategies for difficult-to-find technical talent across aerospace, defense, robotics, autonomous systems, automotive, AI/ML, and adjacent industries
Act as a strategic advisor to leadership on market trends, talent availability, compensation competitiveness, and hiring risks
Drive strong operational rigor across pipeline management, funnel health, data accuracy, and stakeholder communication
Help influence workforce planning and ensure hiring activity remains aligned to approved business priorities
Improve recruiting scalability through process improvements, documentation, interview calibration, and tooling optimization
Deliver an exceptional candidate experience while maintaining urgency and high hiring quality standards
Mentor junior recruiters and sourcers while helping elevate recruiting best practices across the organization
REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS:
10+ years of full-cycle technical recruiting experience, including significant ownership of complex software engineering searches
Proven success recruiting Software Engineers, Autonomy Engineers, Robotics Engineers, Embedded Software Engineers, Perception Engineers, Infrastructure Engineers, Machine Learning Engineers, or similar technical talent
Strong understanding of software engineering concepts, technical architectures, and engineering organizational structures
Experience partnering with senior engineering leadership in fast-paced or high-growth environments
Demonstrated ability to manage multiple complex searches simultaneously while maintaining strong hiring outcomes
Strong sourcing and market-mapping capabilities across highly competitive technical domains
Excellent communication, stakeholder management, and operational execution skills
Experience using ATS systems, sourcing platforms, and recruiting analytics to drive decisions and pipeline visibility
