The Role
Bobyard just doubled the team and we’re doing it again. This is a technical role inside recruiting. You'll own the systems, automations, and data pipelines that power hiring end-to-end.
The goal is simple: remove manual work from the recruiting loop so the team can operate faster, with better signal, at higher volume. You'll make deliberate build-vs-buy calls. Not everything needs a SaaS subscription — some problems are a Python script and a webhook.
You know the difference, and you default toward the cheaper, more controllable solution when it's the right one. What You'll Build - Sourcing automation: Pipelines that surface candidates before they're actively looking. Structured workflows across LinkedIn, GitHub, research corpora, and referral networks. - Screening infrastructure: LLM-assisted triage that filters for fit before a human reviews.
You'll own the prompts, the evaluation logic, and the quality checks that keep signal-to-noise high. - ATS integration: Ashby as system of record. You'll wire it to sourcing tools, comms, and scheduling so candidate state updates without manual pushing. - Funnel analytics: Define the metrics that matter (time-to-fill, source quality, offer accept rate), instrument the pipeline, and report with enough honesty to actually change behavior. - Internal tooling: Dashboards and lightweight interfaces so the team has real-time visibility without living in Ashby. Desired experience You've scaled business functions, not just supported them.
Multiple roles, multiple levels, parallel pipelines — without losing quality at volume. You wire tools into systems. ATS, sourcing, outreach, screening, scheduling — each integration removes a bottleneck, each automation compounds.
The recruiting engine grows faster than the headcount running it. Details Full-time · In-person · San Francisco Bay Area $120k–$160k base · 0.025%–0.05% equity Comp Philosophy We pay to win. Bobyard targets competitive top-of-market compensation because we hire people who ship and drive real impact — and we aim to reward that, including through variable pay tied to performance.
Individual compensation is determined by role, experience, and contribution, at Bobyard's discretion.
