What you'll do

• Own the end-to-end hiring journey for roles across Engineering, Product, Design, and Data, maintaining a consistently high hiring bar as we scale.

• You will build out a structured market map of Spain's tech ecosystem to advance sourcing efforts that build sustainable pipelines that reduce time-to-fill for critical roles.
