You’ll be supporting full-cycle recruiting across software, ML/AI, and other high-tech functions. This is a hybrid role with minimum two days per week in the Singapore office; additional in-office days may be required based on operational needs.
You’ll act as both a hands-on recruiter and a trusted advisor to hiring leaders, guiding some of our highly talented engineers through the hiring process while delivering an exceptional candidate experience.
What you’ll do:
- Partner closely with engineering leaders to manage end-to-end recruiting for technical roles, from intake through onboarding.
- Lead kick-off meetings, stakeholder updates, and interview debriefs to ensure alignment and momentum on searches.
- Source, engage, and convert top technical talent, including hard-to-reach passive candidates, through creative outreach and deep knowledge of the market.
- Manage all recruiting logistics: interview scheduling, candidate travel, visa coordination, panel setup, and offer process.
- Drive best practices in ATS usage (Greenhouse), candidate documentation, and scorecard calibration.
- Provide market insights on talent pools, compensation trends, and competitor activity.
- Partner with HR on visa/work authorization processes and onboarding to ensure a smooth candidate transition.
- Collaborate globally across multiple time zones, with occasional support for U.S.-based hiring.
What we’re looking for:
- 3+ years of recruiting experience in corporate and/or search environments, with a focus on engineering and high-tech talent.
- Proven success hiring in areas such as machine learning, software engineering, or other advanced technology domains.
- Strong ability to influence and advise stakeholders, including senior leadership.
- Experience sourcing passive candidates using LinkedIn Recruiter, advanced Boolean, and other sourcing tools.
- Familiarity with applicant tracking systems (Greenhouse preferred) and structured interview scorecards.
- Highly organized, self-driven, and able to work independently while managing competing priorities.
- Excellent communication skills and a commitment to providing a best-in-class candidate experience.
- Professional proficiency in English (written and spoken) is required for collaboration with global teams and English-language documentation.
- Comfortable working across global time zones and adapting quickly in a fast-moving environment.
- Proficiency in Google Workspace (Docs, Sheets, Calendar, Drive).

Our journey is always people first.
We aren't just developing driverless cars; we're creating safer roadways, more equitable transportation options, and making our communities better places to live, work, and connect. Our team is made up of engineers, researchers, innovators, dreamers and doers, who are creating a technology with the potential to transform the way we move.
Higher purpose, greater impact.
We’re creating first-of-its-kind technology that will transform transportation. To do so successfully, we must design for everyone in our cities and on our roads.

Our team is behind some of the industry's largest leaps forward, including the first fully-autonomous cross-country drive in the U.S, the launch of the world's first robotaxi pilot, and operation of the world's longest-standing public robotaxi fleet. We’re driven to scale; we’re moving towards commercialization of our technology, and we need team members who are ready to embrace change and challenges.
