About Hevo:
At Hevo Data, we’re building the future of data infrastructure for AI. Over 2,000 companies across 40+ countries trust Hevo to power their analytics. As a deep tech company, our engineering team solves some of the hardest problems in data integration, scale, and reliability. We’re looking for a Principal Recruiter who goes beyond keyword matching. We want someone who can understand the technology, assess candidates based on their past technical projects/work, and match them to the role we’re hiring for.
👉 If you can speak the language of engineers and help us identify the very best, let’s talk.
Job Responsibilities:
- Partner with engineering leaders to understand what a great candidate for that role looks like in each technical role (SDE-4, Staff Engineer, Principal Engineer).
- Evaluate candidate fitment by reviewing their past work, technical contributions, and problem-solving approaches.
- Conduct structured technical conversations to pre-assess candidates before formal interviews.
- Build and nurture long-term pipelines of deep-tech engineers in Backend, Frontend, DevOps, and Data Infra.
- Apply a systematic approach to target, network and engage with passive talent pools.
- Deliver an engaging candidate experience and be the brand ambassador for Hevo in this community of users.
Desired Candidate Profile:
- 10+ years of technical recruiting experience with a focus on senior engineering roles.
- Ability to understand engineering depth—you don’t need to code, but you should be able to evaluate whether a backend engineer has built for scale, or if a DevOps engineer has automated infra at complexity.
- Track record of closing Staff/Principal-level hires at product or deep-tech companies.
- Ability to assess candidates beyond resumes—by understanding their technical impact and role fit.
- Excellent storytelling skills to articulate Hevo’s vision to top engineers.
- Passion for technology and curiosity to dive into systems design, distributed infra, and cutting-edge data problems.

The Company
What We Do
Hevo is an Automated Unified Data Platform that helps companies understand their users and customers better.
Using Hevo, companies can build a 360-degree view of their customers by combining data from multiple disparate data sources and applications including sales CRM, advertising channels, marketing tech, financial system software, and customer support products.
Data and information stored in these applications are often siloed, and it's difficult for companies to get a complete view of their customers and business metrics. Hevo solves this problem for its customers.
