Technical Recruiter

About Savvy Wealth:

Wealth management is a $545 billion industry in the US, yet remains archaic and inefficient with low technology penetration. 75% of financial advisors don’t offer digital communication beyond email, and 62% still build financial plans manually in Excel. This leads to a poor client experience and results in financial advisors spending over 70% of their time on non-client facing, manual work.

Savvy is changing that. We’re building the most advisor-centric platform in wealth management: a digital-first solution that modernizes human financial advice. Advisors who partner with Savvy tap into AI-powered software, automated sales and marketing, and seamless back office workflows to scale faster and spend more time with clients.

We’ve raised over $105M to date from Thrive Capital, Index Ventures, Canvas Ventures, Mark Casady (former LPL Financial CEO), and other top-tier investors. Our team is made up of repeat founders and operators who’ve helped build Airbnb, Square, Brex, Carta, Facebook, $200B+ RIAs, and more.

Savvy is at a pivotal point in its growth trajectory, having established strong product-market fit in providing a modern platform to financial advisors. We’ve surpassed $5.1 billion in AUM in less than three years, grown 600%+ in the last 18 months, and are entering the next phase of the company which involves rapid expansion of our product offering and continued revenue growth. Come help us scale!

The Role:

This is an opportunity to join Savvy at a high-growth inflection point and own a meaningful portion of our technical hiring motion. As a Technical Recruiter, you will run full-cycle recruiting across our Engineering, Product, and Design organizations while serving as a strategic partner to our Lead Technical Recruiter on senior and complex searches.

This role is ideal for someone who has moved beyond the fundamentals of recruiting and is ready to operate with real autonomy — owning searches end-to-end, building durable pipelines for hard-to-fill technical roles, and developing genuine hiring manager partnerships. You'll bring a point of view to searches, push back when needed, and consistently raise the bar on pipeline quality.

You'll be a core part of a lean, high-performing recruiting team and will have direct visibility into how we scale from 100 to 200+ people.

Responsibilities:

Full-Cycle Technical Recruiting

• Own full-cycle recruiting for engineering, product, and design roles from intake through close.

• Build strong hiring manager relationships — align on role requirements, calibrate on candidate profiles, and manage expectations on timeline and market.

• Run structured screens, manage interview loops, deliver timely feedback, and support offer and closing conversations including compensation.

• Maintain an exceptional candidate experience and rigorous ATS hygiene throughout every search.

Strategic Sourcing & Pipeline Development

• Build and manage high-quality outbound pipelines for technical roles across all levels, including senior and staff engineering searches.

• Develop and execute creative sourcing strategies across LinkedIn Recruiter, Juicebox, GitHub, and other platforms relevant to engineering and product talent.

• Identify patterns across pipelines and proactively surface insights to hiring managers and the Lead Technical Recruiter.

• Conduct calibrated screens that assess technical background, scope of experience, and genuine motivation — not just surface-level fit.

Execution & Operations

• Track and report on pipeline KPIs including response rates, pass-through rates, time to slate, and offer acceptance.

• Maintain clean, structured ATS workflows and candidate data with no prompting.

• Contribute to recruiting projects across tooling, employer branding, referrals, structured interviewing, and process improvement.

• Partner with the broader recruiting team on cross-functional initiatives as the technical hiring motion scales.

Must Have:

• 3–5 years of recruiting experience, with meaningful time spent in technical recruiting at a venture-backed startup or agency supporting tech clients.

• Demonstrated ability to own full-cycle technical searches independently, including engineering and product roles.

• Strong sourcing foundation with proven ability to build outbound pipelines for competitive technical talent.

• Comfort navigating compensation conversations and closing candidates at the senior IC level.

• Excellent written communication — you write outreach that doesn't sound like outreach.

• Highly organized with strong process discipline and ATS hygiene.

• Able to operate with autonomy in a fast-moving, ambiguous environment and know when to escalate.

Nice to Have:

• Experience recruiting for fintech, wealthtech, or other complex technical domains.

• Familiarity with structured interview design, scorecards, or take-home assessments.

• Experience with Ashby, LinkedIn Recruiter, Gem, Juicebox, or similar tools.

• Prior experience on a small recruiting team where you owned a disproportionate share of the technical hiring motion.

Benefits:

• Competitive salary and equity package

• Unlimited PTO + paid company holidays

• Access to holistic medical, dental, and vision plans

• Company 401(k), Commuter, and HSA/FSA plans

• NYC office in the heart of Manhattan

• Lunch and snacks provided in the office

• Access to virtual mental health care (Spring Health), vision related benefits (XP Health), and health concierge (Rightway) to help you find the right care

• Access to counseling for stress management, dependent care, nutrition, fitness, legal, and financial issues (Guardian WorkLifeMatters EAP)
