Technical Recruiter

Avoca is transforming how home service companies engage with their customers. Our AI-powered conversational agents handle every high-value inbound call, from booking jobs, qualifying leads, and driving higher revenue, all at a speed and consistency unmatched by human call centers.

We're a Series B startup backed by Kleiner Perkins, Meritech Capital, General Catalyst, and other top-tier investors, with $125M raised and a $1B valuation. We grew 10x in 2025 and have scaled to 100+ employees in under two years across our NYC headquarters and Santa Barbara office.

In a $1T+ market where 85% of missed calls go to competitors, we're building the category-defining platform for AI-driven customer engagement, serving the largest brands in home services. With high-energy, in-office teams in both locations, every hire here has an immediate and visible impact.

As our first in-house Technical Recruiter, you will own end-to-end recruiting for our product-building roles (Product Engineer, Frontend Engineer, FDE, Data, Design, and adjacent roles). This is a highly execution-driven role requiring speed, structure, and judgment in a high-growth, in-office NYC environment.

You’ll be responsible not only for filling roles, but for building and running scalable recruiting systems. You will source and close elite EPD talent through data-driven optimization and exceptional candidate experience–while partnering closely with engineering and product leadership as we rapidly expand headcount in 2026.
