Technical Recruiting Manager

About Us:

Here at Ambience, we never set out to be just another scribe. We’re building the AI intelligence platform that restores humanity to healthcare and drives meaningful ROI for health systems across the country.

Our technology helps providers focus on delivering great care by removing the administrative burden that pulls them away from patients and away from their most impactful work. Ambience delivers real-time coding-aware documentation and clinical workflow support across ambulatory, emergency and inpatient settings at the top health systems in North America.

Our teams operate relentlessly with extreme ownership to build the best solutions for our health system partners. We value candor, positivity and deep thought — and we expect a lot from each other because we know the problems we’re solving truly matter.

Ambience was ranked #1 for Improving the Clinician Experience in the KLAS Research Emerging Solutions Top 20 Report, recognized by Fast Company as one of the Next Big Things in Tech, named one of the best AI companies in healthcare by Inc., and selected as a LinkedIn Top Startup in 2024 and 2025. We’re backed by Oak HC/FT, Andreessen Horowitz (a16z), OpenAI Startup Fund, and Kleiner Perkins — and we’re just getting started.

We’re looking for a mission-driven Technical Recruiting Manager to build and scale Ambience’s technical hiring engine. In this hybrid hands-on and managerial role, you’ll partner closely with engineering and product leaders to drive headcount planning, role scoping, and allocation across software, ML, platform, infrastructure, and security. You’ll own end-to-end recruiting—designing high-signal processes, elevating candidate experience, and executing closing strategies that consistently attract world-class technical talent.

You’ll also mentor and coach hiring managers, acting as a strategic advisor, strengthen interviewing capabilities, and bring operational rigor and data-driven decision-making to our talent systems. This role is ideal for someone who thrives in ambiguity, moves with urgency, and combines technical fluency with people leadership to help scale a high-performing technical organization.

• Own end-to-end recruitment for high-priority technical roles across Engineering and Machine Learning, including headcount management, role allocation, prioritization, and overall talent strategy.

• Partner closely with hiring managers to align on ideal candidate profiles, define MOCs, and drive clarity in role scoping—ensuring high-signal, efficient processes that deliver the right hiring outcomes.

• Design scalable, repeatable recruiting processes—including structured interviews, events, rubrics, scorecards, and interviewer enablement programs.

• Implement tooling, automations, and workflows in Ashby to increase speed, quality, and signal across the hiring funnel.

• Collaborate with sourcers and hiring managers to build high-impact sourcing strategies across channels—including AI tools, referrals, communities, social platforms, outbound programs, event-based hiring, and creative networking.

• Create compelling content, engagement materials, and activation campaigns, supported by talent maps and market insights that inform workforce planning and ensure pipeline health.

• Lead candidate communication with thoughtful, transparent, and personalized touchpoints that uphold a best-in-class experience.

• Develop tailored closing strategies that effectively communicate Ambience’s mission, technical challenges, and long-term career trajectory.

• Serve as a trusted advisor to engineering, product, and executive leaders on hiring strategy, headcount planning, and organizational design.

• Provide data-driven insights on pipeline health, talent trends, and process improvements—delivering clear executive summaries and recommendations.

• 10+ years of full-cycle technical recruiting experience, preferably 5+ years in high-growth startup environments, with a track record of hiring across backend, full-stack, platform, infrastructure, security, and ML.

• Demonstrated leadership capability, including at least 2 years formal management and effectively influencing executive stakeholders.

• Strong understanding of modern software engineering and machine learning domains, enabling credible and high-signal technical assessments.

• Able to communicate fluently with engineers and technical leaders to align on requirements, evaluate fit, and drive sound hiring decisions.

• Adept at building recruiting systems, processes, documentation, and workflows from the ground up in ambiguous, fast-scaling environments.

• Brings a bias toward action—experimenting, iterating, and refining rapidly based on data and results.

• Skilled at storytelling and selling top talent on Ambience’s mission, technical roadmap, and long-term opportunities.

• Effective at influencing executives, aligning cross-functional stakeholders, and presenting clear, data-backed recommendations.

• Deep commitment to fairness, inclusion, and transparency throughout every stage of the hiring process.

• Creates thoughtful, trust-building interactions that leave candidates with an exceptional impression of Ambience.
