Senior Technical Recruiter (with Engineering Background)

Bamboo Works is expanding, and we’re looking for a Senior Technical Recruiter with a deep understanding of software development and technical roles. Someone who isn’t just familiar with tech... but lives and breathes it.

This is not a standard recruiting role. We’re seeking someone who can assess talent at a technical level, ideally with a background in engineering or computer science. You should be able to recognize code quality, evaluate real capabilities, and help us ensure that only top-tier talent reaches our clients.

If you're someone who understands code, architecture, and software development at a deep level — and you’ve either worked in engineering before or studied it academically — then you might be exactly who we’re looking for.

Location: Remote

Type: Part-Time/Full-time

Responsibilities

You won’t just be sourcing developers — you’ll be qualifying them at a technical level many recruiters can’t.

Source and screen highly technical candidates globally across engineering, data, DevOps, and other specialized roles

Review portfolios, GitHub repositories, technical tests, and other work samples to assess hands-on capability

Conduct in-depth technical interviews to evaluate candidates beyond CVs and keywords

Provide clear, concise assessments on each candidate’s technical strengths and potential fit

Collaborate with the internal team to continuously refine and improve technical recruitment processes

Spot true technical excellence (and identify red flags).

Assess real-world capabilities — not just buzzwords and CV fluff.

Quality-first approach: you’d rather send 2 exceptional profiles than 10 average ones

Clear communication: you can explain technical strengths and weaknesses in plain English for non-technical stakeholders

Requirements

Solid technical foundation: degree in computer science, engineering, or related field — or professional experience in tech

Ability to understand and evaluate code, software architecture, and real-world problem-solving ability

3+ years of experience in technical recruitment, with a strong track record of hiring for complex tech roles

Confident in sourcing and assessing talent globally across different time zones and cultures

Strong written and verbal communication skills, especially when translating technical evaluations into plain language

Nice to Haves

Prior experience working as a developer or in a technical role before moving into recruitment

Experience designing or implementing technical assessments for engineering candidates

Passion for remote work, distributed teams, and the future of global hiring

Recruitment Process

Application submission (which will include a 2-5 minute intro video of yourself)
