The Role
We’re seeking an HR Business Partner to play a key role supporting Sigma’s technical organization. You’ll work with engineering leaders across Software Engineering, Infrastructure, AI, Product, Design, and Security to shape how a fast-growing technical org is structured, led, and developed, to support the goals of the business. You’ll also stay hands-on in running the people programs behind that work.
This role and Sigma’s culture suit someone who moves easily between strategy and execution. One day you might advise a VP on changes to their org design, and the next you’re working through a sensitive employee relations issue. You’ll bring your experience and learnings to figure out what works at Sigma, rather than reusing a past playbook.
Please note, this role is on-site four days per week in our San Francisco office, located in the Financial District.
What You'll Do
- Work with technical leadership to translate priorities into people plans that support and enable teams to execute on their goals and roadmap.
- Partner with leaders on org design work, team dynamics, and leadership effectiveness. Flag talent risks and opportunities early, using data to inform your insights and recommendations.
- Coach managers through sensitive situations, including performance issues, team dynamics, and employee relations. Run investigations with Legal when needed.
- Own core people programs for your business areas: performance/talent reviews, compensation cycles, employee engagement, and talent development. Run each one with both operational rigor and business context, from the first proposal through communication and rollout.
- Partner with Talent, People Ops, and Legal to build programs that reflect your client groups’ needs, and keep leaders informed about changes that affect their teams.
- Use AI tools, including Sigma itself, to reduce manual work and speed up insight in recurring people processes.
What We're Looking For
Required:
- 5+ years of progressive HRBP experience, including significant time supporting engineering or other technical teams at a high-growth software company.
- Broad HR expertise across performance management, employee relations, org design, talent development, and compensation.
- Experience advising senior engineering leaders at the VP level and the ability to influence decisions in ambiguous, high-stakes situations.
- A working understanding of how engineering organizations scale, including team structures, career ladders, and the people challenges that come with fast growth.
- Comfort with data: you can pull together people metrics, spot trends, and turn them into a recommendation leaders will act on.
- Sound judgment that balances business outcomes with employee experience, risk, and long-term scalability.
- Strong written and verbal communication, including facilitating groups and leading difficult conversations at every level.
- Working knowledge of US employment law and immigration processes and experience partnering with legal counsel to manage risk.
- Hands-on experience using AI tools to make HR work faster or better.

The base salary range for this position is $150,000 to $185,000, in addition to equity and benefits.
