Watney builds and deploys autonomous robotic systems that increase the speed and capacity of buildout, starting with data centers.\nWe believe the most important decision you can make is what you work on and who you work with. Watney builds and deploys autonomous robotic systems for the largest hyperscalers in the world. Come work with the former GSM for the iPhone, the architect of Uber's realtime pricing engine, and the engineer behind the world’s fastest EV racecar at ETH Zurich.\nAbout the Role\nWatney is looking for a Senior Recruiter to join our fast-growing talent function and help us build one of the most exceptional teams in robotics. You'll work closely with our founders and team to keep candidates moving efficiently through our process, making sure every person who touches Watney has an exceptional experience.\nThis is a hands-on, full cycle recruiting opportunity to scale Watney from 25 to 60+ by the end of the year. You will own full-cycle recruiting across multiple disciplines simultaneously: technical, GTM, operational, and leadership roles.\nWe're looking for someone who takes candidate experience personally, loves a well-run process, and is energized by working at a company that's doing something genuinely hard and important.\nWhat You’ll Do\nBuild and refine sourcing strategies that go beyond volume: creative outbound, referral networks, and community engagement.\n\nHelp shape Watney's recruiting function, employer brand and candidate experience from first touch to offer.\n\nWork cross-functionally with founders and operators to keep hiring running smoothly.\n\nMaintain clean, accurate records in our ATS (Ashby) and help build out our tracking infrastructure.\n\nCoordinate interviews, work trials, and candidate communications across all active searches.\n\nHelp draft and post job descriptions, assist with scheduling, and keep the pipeline moving without bottlenecks\n.\n\nYou May Be a Good Fit If You:\nHave 4+ years of experience as a full-cycle recruiter, ideally at a fast-moving startup or tech company.\n\nAre an exceptional top-of-funnel operator: you find candidates others miss, and you create pipeline in unique ways.\n\nAre obsessively organized and take pride in running a tight, candidate-friendly process.\n\nCommunicate clearly and warmly: candidates feel cared for, not processed.\n\nAre comfortable navigating ambiguity and shifting priorities without losing track of the details.\n\nLearn tools quickly and are comfortable in Ashby or a comparable ATS.\n\nAre genuinely curious about robotics, AI, or deep tech. You don't need to be an engineer, but you should be excited by what Watney is building.\n\nWe’re committed to building a diverse, inclusive team. At Watney Robotics, we welcome people of all backgrounds and identities, and we make hiring decisions based on skills, experience, and potential. If you’re passionate about robotics but don’t meet every requirement, we still encourage you to apply!\nCurious to learn more?\nFollow us here onX andLinkedIn","description_format":"text","description_chars":3166,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":4,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"United States","iso":"US","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":[],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-26T09:43:06Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":15,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.535,"p_room":0.28,"age_days":77,"expected_fill_days":37,"reasons":["conf:0","velocity","win:tail","crowd:"],"computed_at":"2026-10-13T05:45:00Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/watney-senior-recruiter","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/watney-senior-recruiter.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-13T14:45:56Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":22671,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-14T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":3812884},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=3812884"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fwatney-senior-recruiter"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fwatney-senior-recruiter"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fwatney-senior-recruiter"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/watney-senior-recruiter\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fwatney-senior-recruiter"}]}
