Talent Acquisition Specialist - Product & Engineering

About the role

Validio is the agentic data management platform that automates data quality, lineage, and cataloging — so enterprises can finally trust the data behind their analytics, AI, and reporting. As Talent Acquisition Specialist – Product & Engineering, you own the operational recruitment of the people who build the platform our customers pay for. Recruiting engineers at a company that ships AI is not the recruiting job of five years ago. AI handles the repetitive work; what's left is judgment — which profiles to go after, how to read a candidate's actual work, and how to build a real understanding of what hiring managers actually need. What you'll do Own tech recruitment end to end — intake, sourcing, screening, process, offer Source proactively: engineers who ship don't sit in the inbound queue, so you go find them Turn a vague "senior backend engineer" into a calibrated profile you can find and close Build an AI-augmented recruiting motion — agentic sourcing, interview intelligence, LLM drafting — with your judgment on top of all of it Keep the candidate experience fast and sharp: clear communication, quick decisions, no black holes What you'll bring 4+ years recruiting technical roles, with searches you owned from brief to signed offer Strong sourcing craft, and the persistence to work a talent seam until it's dry Stakeholder management that holds up — you push back with evidence, and hiring managers thank you for it Genuine product understanding: you can hold your own in a first conversation with a senior engineer An AI-native way of working — LLMs and agentic tools are already in your daily loop Bonus points for Experience with our stack: Ashby, Metaview, LinkedIn Recruiter, and Claude Why Validio Founded in Sweden in 2019, we're trusted by data-driven enterprises like Nordea, Canva, Truecaller, Traveloka, and Deutsche Glasfaser.
