Job Description
EchoMark is on a mission to enable the seamless flow of private information. We pioneered an entirely new way to combat the rapidly growing threat of insider leaks and keep private information private. We now serve the largest organizations in the world, and we even help protect national secrets to help defend our democracy.
Customer demand for EchoMark is exploding. We’re now ready to significantly expand our tight-knit team while still maintaining the excellence and culture that define our success.
We are looking for the right person to join us as a founding recruiter. You will work directly with our co-founder and CEO, someone who deeply values building the right team. You'll be hands-on in the trenches: building process, sourcing top-tier candidates for engineering, product, sales, marketing, and operations. You will shape a candidate experience that's fast, thoughtful, and founder-led while demanding the excellence instilled in everything done at EchoMark. You will be a KEY part of Team EchoMark and our success.
What You'll Own
- Carry the torch of our culture–purpose, excellence and hard work–and act as a filter to ensure we stay true to those values as we expand the team
- End-to-end recruiting across critical technical (backend, infrastructure, AI/ML, etc.) and non-technical (product, sales, marketing, biz ops, etc.) roles
- Build and refine foundational hiring processes, from scorecards and sourcing strategy to closing mechanics
- Partner closely with the founders to shape interview loops and hiring decisions
- Proactively build a referral-first sourcing strategy, while owning outbound pipeline development
- Ensure a white-glove candidate experience that reflects our culture and moves quickly
- Select and set up tools to manage your workflow (ATS, scheduling, comms)
- Act as the internal recruiting operations architect-- lightweight, high-signal, founder-calibrated, data-driven
- Establish early hiring brand standards and messaging frameworks to engage technical talent
You'll thrive here if you…
- Have 3-6+ years of full-cycle technical recruiting experience, ideally with time at an early-stage startup
- Are confident recruiting across deep technical roles (e.g., distributed systems, infra)
- Can build trust with technical founders and speak their language when it comes to assessing talent
- Love referral and outbound-driven pipelines, and know how to keep them warm and productive
- Care deeply about precision, velocity, and candidate experience
- Have worked without recruiting coordination support before–and are totally comfortable with scheduling yourself
- Can be scrappy and do not need a stack of tools/resources to succeed
- Are energized by early-stage growth and can lead process autonomously
- Deliver results as an individual AND together as a team
Location: Seattle HQ, in the office with the team
