The company leverages over a decade of advanced research in robotics and machine learning, as well as a field-test forward ethos, to deliver combined capabilities for unit commanders. Our OverDrive autonomy stack enables ground vehicles to navigate and operate off-road in any terrain without GPS or direct operator control. Our intuitive OverWatch C2 interface provides commanders with precise coordination capabilities essential for mission success.\nOverland AI has secured funding from prominent defense tech investors including 8VC and Point 72, and built trusted partnerships with DARPA, the U.S. Army, Marine Corps, and Special Operations Command. Backed by eight-figure contracts across the Department of Defense, we are strengthening national security by iterating closely with end users engaged in tactical operations.\nRole Summary:\nWe are seeking a high-ownership, full-cycle Contract Technical Recruiter to help scale Overland AI during a critical phase of growth. This role will be responsible for driving hiring across our technical teams, partnering closely with our internal recruiter, hiring managers and leadership to identify and close exceptional talent.\nThe ideal candidate thrives in fast-paced, ambiguous environments and brings a strong ability to source, assess, and close candidates for highly technical roles. You will play a key role in shaping how we build the team-balancing speed, quality, and candidate experience. This position can be remote, or based in Seattle, WA.\nKey Responsibilities:\nOwn sourcing for engineering and technical roles across the company, including software, autonomy, perception, and robotics.\nMap the talent landscape for our core disciplines. Know which companies, teams, programs, and geographies have the people we need, and keep that knowledge current.\nIdentify and engage passive candidates through LinkedIn Recruiter, professional communities, referral networks, and creative outreach channels.\nBuild and maintain long-term candidate relationships so we have warm pipelines ready when roles open, not cold outreach every time.\nPartner with recruiters and hiring managers to translate hiring needs into sourcing strategies. Help calibrate on what great looks like for each role.\nDevelop market intelligence: compensation benchmarks, talent availability, competitor hiring activity, and emerging talent pools that inform our broader recruiting strategy.\nWrite outreach that sounds like a real person who understands what candidates actually work on, not a templated InMail.\nTrack sourcing metrics (response rates, passthrough rates, source of hire) and use data to refine your approach over time.\nMinimum Requirements:\n3 to 5 years of sourcing experience for technical roles, ideally in robotics, autonomy, defense, or related hardware/software industries.\nStrong Boolean search skills and hands-on experience with sourcing tools (LinkedIn Recruiter, SeekOut, HireEZ, ClearanceJobs, GitHub, or similar).\nExperience building candidate pipelines for hard-to-fill engineering roles, not just responding to inbound applicants.\nEnough technical literacy to understand the difference between a perception engineer and a controls engineer, and to have a real conversation with candidates about their work.\nComfort working in a small, fast-moving team where you'll have a lot of autonomy and ownership over your function.\nStrong written communication. Your outreach messages should be specific, personalized, and reflect genuine understanding of the candidate's background.\nA data-driven mindset. You track what's working, experiment with new approaches, and adjust based on results.\nDesired Experience & Qualifications:\nExperience sourcing for security-cleared positions or familiarity with ITAR/export control requirements in recruiting.\nBackground sourcing for robotics, autonomous vehicles, or perception/ML roles specifically.\nExperience with Ashby, Greenhouse, or similar ATS platforms.\nFamiliarity with the defense tech talent ecosystem: who's hiring, who's leaving, which programs are winding down.\nExperience using AI tools to improve sourcing workflows, candidate research, or outreach personalization.\nBenefits:\nOverland AI believes in creating a work environment that you look forward to embracing every day. This is a 9-month contract-to-hire position, with the goal of transitioning to full-time employment based on performance and mutual fit.\nHourly range for this position is $50 - $70 USD during the contract period, with potential for conversion to a full-time salaried role. \nUpon conversion to full-time, you will be eligible for our full benefits package, including:\nBest-in-class healthcare, dental and vision plans\nFlexible PTO\n401k with company match\nParental leave\n\nLocation:\nThis position is remote or located in Seattle, WA.\nOverland AI is an Equal Opportunity Employer. We do not discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion, creed, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, national origin, age, marital status, disability, genetic information, protected veteran or military status, or any other status protected by applicable law.\nThis position may involve access to export-controlled technology.
