Posted on Jun 12, 2025

We’re looking for a Lead Tech Recruiter (to join our current solo recruiter!) and build the hiring engine that will shape the next generation of social products. You’ll be amo’s second recruiter and play a foundational role in scaling our tech and product teams, from vision to execution, outreach to offer.

You’ll help build a world-class team of mobile engineers, backend Rust developers, designers, and product minds, all while creating an unforgettable candidate experience that mirrors amo’s values: playfulness, depth, and integrity.

What you'll do

Partner deeply

  • Work side-by-side with founders and hiring managers to define what great looks like across roles.

  • Shape role definitions, scorecards, and interview plans across iOS, Android, Rust Backend, SRE, and beyond.

Own the full funnel

  • From outbound sourcing to closing, you’ll own end-to-end hiring for key roles.

  • You'll build scalable pipelines proactively, you won't be waiting for inbound.

Source like a pro

  • Go beyond LinkedIn. Find hidden gems. Engage with engineers who care deeply about performance, architecture, and craft.

  • Adapt your approach per profile: mobile engineers who optimize Metal shaders aren't found the same way as Rust backend developers who love zero-copy data pipelines.

Design exceptional processes

  • Implement clear, fast, candidate-first recruiting workflows.

  • Help us scale quality without adding bureaucracy, speed and excellence aren’t mutually exclusive here.

Make candidates feel something

  • Deliver a candidate experience that feels personal, respectful, and genuine. Our interviews should reflect the same care we put into our apps.

Bring insight

  • Share real-time market trends, salary benchmarks, and sourcing data with hiring managers to guide strategic decisions.

What we’re looking for

  • Experienced recruiting for technical roles (agency or in-house, ideally both).

  • Mastery of sourcing, you’re not afraid to go deep and get creative.

  • Ownership mentality, you don’t wait to be told, you act.

  • Strong communicator, with candidates and internal stakeholders alike.

  • High attention to detail, whether it’s scheduling an interview or crafting a cold message.

  • Based in Paris and available to work fully on-site, 5 days a week

(Strong) bonus points

  • You've hired for mobile engineering teams (especially iOS/Android).

  • You’ve worked in early-stage startups where you’ve had to build systems from scratch.

  • You understand the language of craftsmanship, whether it’s in code or candidate experience.

Why join now?

  • You’ll be shaping the foundation of amo’s team at one of the most exciting early-stage social startups in Europe.

  • You’ll have autonomy, support, and real impact, no handcuffs, no “sourcing monkey” roles here.

  • You’ll help define not just who we hire, but how we hire.

Life at amo

To ensure that everyone is set up for success within our way of working, we work together onsite 5 days a week.

We wanted to make sure coming to the office is as comfortable as possible for you:

  • We chose a location in central Paris, near Opera (Metro lines 3,8,9 and RER A).

  • We have a beautiful Parisian-style office with high ceilings, balconies, and huge windows. So a lot of natural light!

  • We reimburse your commuting expenses 100%.

Because life outside of work should also be stress-free, we cover:

  • Health care (100% coverage).

  • Maternity Leave, Paternity Leave, Second Parent Leave (salary maintained at 100%).

  • Vacation days: 8-9 weeks (total) per year

    • 5 weeks of paid time off (by French law)

    • 1-2 additional weeks (RTT, based on our company contract)

    • 11 bank holidays

We shut down entirely twice a year, two weeks in the summer and one week in the winter to allow everyone to truly recharge and to avoid prolonged slowdowns (especially in the summer). This enables everyone to actually disconnect and enjoy their vacation. No Slack, no email, no FOMO.

We love the diverse perspectives we get from having people from all over the world join us (53% of our team is international), and so we of course support relocation to Paris with:

  • Help and sponsor the visa process.

  • 1 month of Airbnb 100% covered by amo upon arrival.

  • Assistance in finding your permanent home.

  • Help with French paperwork like opening a French social security account, tax forms, and more.

  • French lessons to be fully set with your new Parisian life.
