Talent Acquisition Manager scaling international hiring systems for high-growth tech teams.
What I'm looking for
I help founders and high-growth companies scale internationally by combining the right people, operational structure, and global execution. I’ve supported teams across Europe, North America, LATAM, EMEA, and APAC—building distributed hiring engines and scalable workforce structures aligned to long-term growth.
In my current role as a Talent Acquisition Manager, I lead end-to-end recruiting for YC-backed, venture-backed, and high-growth tech startups and scale-ups—partnering with founders, CTOs, and Engineering leaders. I own full-cycle hiring across Software Engineering, Platform & Infrastructure (including SRE/DevOps), Data, AI/ML, and GPU/CUDA roles, with a strong focus on senior and niche profiles.
I’m equally focused on what makes hiring sustainable: designing and continuously optimizing TA processes and hiring frameworks that are scalable, candidate-centric, and data-driven. Earlier, I led recruiting operations at scale (building pipelines from scratch, improving client experience playbooks, and using analytics with Tableau/SQL/BigQuery) and managed operational teams—so I bring both talent strategy and execution discipline to every engagement.
