  • Experience recruiting technical talent across software and product engineering disciplines, including frontend/web applications, backend services, cloud infrastructure, software integration, test infrastructure, and distributed systems.
  • Strong understanding of software engineering concepts and technologies, including Python, APIs, Git, Docker, CI/CD, automated testing, Linux, and cloud-based systems.
  • Ability to understand and translate complex technical requirements into effective sourcing strategies, including specialized areas such as mission-control and ground software, telemetry and command systems, mission planning and scheduling, payload tasking and monitoring, data routing, and automation.
  • Familiarity with recruiting for specialized software environments involving embedded C/C++, RTOS, secure web applications, satellite operations, flight dynamics, or AI/ML applications.
  • Proven ability to build and maintain strong talent pipelines for highly competitive, niche technical positions.
  • Ability to effectively pitch Loft’s mission, culture, and technical challenges to highly specialized, passive candidates.
  • Experience conducting phone screens, assessing technical alignment, and managing candidate communication throughout the full interview lifecycle.
  • Proficiency with ATS tools (Lever preferred), including maintaining accurate and up-to-date pipelines.
  • Collaborative mindset and ability to partner closely with hiring managers and the internal recruiting team, providing market insights and recommendations to improve hiring outcomes.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills.

Nice to Haves:

  • Experience recruiting within the space, satellite, aerospace, robotics, autonomous systems, or adjacent deep-tech industries.
  • Direct experience recruiting for mission-control software, satellite ground systems, flight software, embedded systems, or AI/ML engineering roles.
  • Experience recruiting internationally, particularly across US and European technical talent markets.
  • Prior work in or close partnership with startup or high-growth technology companies.
  • Background in agency recruiting or experience managing multiple specialized technical searches simultaneously.
  • Familiarity with ITAR, EAR, and compliance considerations relevant to US-based space and defense hiring.
  • Skilled at using social platforms like LinkedIn to enhance employer brand and attract niche technical talent.
  • Comfort reporting on recruiting metrics, pipeline health, and sourcing performance.

At Loft, we value respectful debate and people who aren’t afraid to challenge assumptions. We strongly encourage you to apply, even if you don’t check all the boxes.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
