Technical Recruiter

ABOUT KOJO It's time to build. Whether it's creating more housing, upgrading our infrastructure, or adapting to climate change, one thing is clear: the construction industry is at the center of solving our biggest problems. We’re making buildings cheaper and easier to build by transforming the way commercial construction companies buy their materials. Join us. Founded in 2018, Kojo is now one of the fastest-growing construction technology companies in the world. Construction accounts for $10 trillion in global spend annually and we can’t live without its output - our roads, schools, hospitals, and offices. Despite this, there’s been very little innovation over the past 70 years in how materials - which constitute up to 40% of project costs - are bought and sold. This is our opportunity.

About the Role LATAM engineering hiring isn't the quiet, cost-driven move it used to be. More and more AI and software companies are standing up permanent engineering centers across the region, and senior placements have overtaken junior ones. We're doubling down on LATAM technical talent with a Mexico City office in 2027. This is a chance to own technical recruiting for that build, and sharpen our technical recruiting motion as that bet gets bigger. This hire will be the sole technical recruiter at Kojo with real authority over how we compete for engineering talent in one of the fastest-moving, least-understood talent markets in tech right now. You partner directly with engineering leadership, work alongside a recruiting coordinator so the logistics don't fall on you alone, and partner with our Director of Talent to hold an increasingly heightened talent bar that determines who builds Kojo's product. What you'll own - Run full-cycle, white-glove recruiting for Kojo's LATAM engineering org, plus occasional NA-based technical searches when they come up. - Build an evergreen, competitive outbound pipeline of A+ engineers, identifying high-talent-density teams and coaching hiring managers on how to go after passive candidates the rest of the market isn't reaching. - Hold the bar high enough that engineering leadership trusts every name you bring them, and say so when a panel is about to settle. - Keep Ashby clean enough that anyone on the team can trust it without a second look. - Work AI-natively: Claude, Granola, Ashby, LinkedIn Recruiter's AI features, and emerging sourcing tools are part of how you source, screen, and manage pipeline day to day, not an occasional shortcut. Representative Projects - Built the outbound engine behind Kojo's first wave of LATAM engineering hires, senior-heavy from day one, with next to no inbound volume to lean on. - Closed a senior engineer against a competing offer from a company paying well above what the market usually requires. - Earned enough trust with an engineering leadership team that they started asking for you by name. About You You've watched LATAM engineering hiring go from a quiet advantage to one of the most contested plays in tech, and you want to be the person who masters it while everyone else is still catching up. This is the kind of role that turns into a specialty, and a reputation. If you'd rather build the pip…
