From interface design to API implementation, we provide the platform to go from sketch to product in a category-defining collaborative experience. Our North Star is to take the friction out of bringing digital ideas to life, making room for your ideas and productivity.\nDevelopers from some of the biggest companies in the world are using WunderGraph to design and streamline their API environments. We raised our Series A ($7.5 million USD) in March 2025, being backed by eBay, Karma Ventures, and Aspenwood Ventures.\nThe culture we are creating together is extremely important to us. Read here how we are Building the Company We Always Wanted to Work In.\nWe invite everyone that wants to join us to understand our Core Beliefs and if you want to make an impact, have your voice heard, and work in a no-BS organization where you can get stuff done, look no further and apply today so we can chat.\nABOUT THE ROLE\nOur Senior Talent Partner has moved into the Head of People and Talent role, so we're looking for someone to take over day-to-day hiring processes for the whole company. We're growing across every team, and you'll be the person who makes sure each of them gets great people when they need them.\nThis is a full-cycle role first. You'll own searches end to end, from shaping the brief with a hiring manager to closing the offer. Roughly half your roles will be in engineering and half in other functions, so one week you're calibrating an engineering loop and the next you're hiring for sales or operations. A lot of the people we want aren't looking, so you'll find many of them yourself.\nThe other part of the job is building a talent community around WunderGraph. We're an open-source company with a real developer community, and hiring should draw on that. Events, content, memes, a community experiment that might not work: you'll have room to try things, and we'd rather you tried.\nOne thing this isn't - a sales role. We don't need someone to push candidates over the line. We need someone who tells our story honestly and specifically enough that the right people lean in and the wrong ones opt out early. That includes the less glamorous parts, like a small distributed team and meetings that stretch into your evening so we can work with the US.\nTEAM INTEGRATION\nReports to: Head of People and Talent\n\nCollaborates closely with: every hiring manager across engineering and non-engineering teams, plus the CEO, COO, VP of Sales and our engineering principals on key hires\n\nActs as each hiring manager's partner on a search, not an order-taker: shaping the brief, setting the bar together, and holding the process to it\n\nROLE OBJECTIVES\nYou are succeeding if:\nHiring managers across engineering and non-engineering teams get strong shortlists when they need them, not a quarter later.\n\nRegardless of source, the candidates are some of the best talent around, rather than people who happened to apply - and you can recognise the difference.\n\nEvery search you run has a clear brief, a consistent structured process, and no candidate waiting more than 3 days to hear from us.\n\nThe people you hire are still here and doing well a year on. We scaled sustainably, not just quickly.\n\nA talent community exists around WunderGraph that didn't before: people who know us, follow what we do, and raise their hand when the right role opens.\n\nCandidates keep telling us ours is the best hiring process they've been through, including the ones we don't hire. You keep it that way as we hire more.\n\nHiring managers trust your judgement enough to change their minds when you push back on a brief, and leadership trusts the plan because your hiring metrics are clear.\n\nOur hiring processes are better because you changed them, not just because you ran them.\n\nROLE TASKS\nThe role focuses on, but is not limited to:\nFull-cycle recruiting\nRunning multiple searches at once across engineering and non-engineering teams, from intake to accepted offer, prioritised by urgency\n\nRunning role kickoffs with hiring managers to agree outcomes, competencies and the interview loop\n\nWriting job profiles and adverts with the People team, tailored to each audience\n\nPre-screening candidates and sharing shortlists with a clear recommendation\n\nCoordinating interviews and running debriefs, with blind scorecards in Ashby before any group discussion\n\nKeeping every candidate updated, with no one waiting more than 3 days to hear from us\n\nManaging offers and closing candidates honestly, without pressure, ensuring each conversation with the candidates is meaningful and insightful for both us and the candidate.\n\nSourcing\nFinding and engaging people who aren't looking, through sourcing, open-source projects, communities, meetups and conferences\n\nHeadhunting directly for senior and hard-to-fill roles\n\nWriting outreach specific enough to each person that they actually reply\n\nKeeping warm pipelines for roles we hire repeatedly\n\nStakeholders and reporting\nAdvising hiring managers on market realities: who's available, what they expect, and what that means for the brief\n\nKeeping leadership updated with clear hiring metrics and progress\n\nEscalating blockers early, with a proposed fix\n\nTalent community and employer marketing\nBuilding a community of people who know WunderGraph before they ever see a job post\n\nRunning creative, low-budget activity: events, content, community-led hiring, the odd meme that lands\n\nWorking out what worked, and dropping what didn't\n\nHiring process\nImproving our interview loops, tasks and scorecards, including for technical roles\n\nDocumenting our recruitment workflows so they don't live in one person's head\n\nKeeping hiring compliant across the countries we hire in, and handling contracts, background checks and documentation with the People team where needed\n\nKeeping our hiring data and Ashby setup useful for planning, not just record-keeping23w\n\nROLE REQUIREMENTS\nYou've run full-cycle recruiting for both technical and non-technical roles, and can walk through searches you owned from brief to accepted offer.\n\nYou're a strong sourcer. You find people who aren't looking, and your outreach gets replies because it's written for the person reading it.\n\nYou tell a company's story in a way that makes the right candidates lean in: honest, specific, never a hard sell.\n\nYou keep several very different searches moving at once without letting candidate experience slip.\n\nYou work independently and keep things moving when the path isn't clear, without waiting to be told what to do.\n\nYou're based in Europe or the UK and can regularly overlap with US hours. For CET or EEST, that means some later evenings.\n\nBonus points\nYou've built or redesigned a technical hiring process (the loop, the task, the scorecard), not just run one.\n\nYou've built a talent community or run creative employer marketing that led to real hires.\n\nYou've hired in, or for stakeholders in, the US market.\n\nYou've handled hiring compliance, contracts or background checks across more than one European country.\n\nWhy WunderGraph?\nWork from wherever you thrive-we’re fully remote and globally distributed. If you're in Miami, come work with us in person! We also provide co-working space options worldwide if needed.\n\nPick your preferred work hardware\n\nWe focus on getting stuff done, and on having fun whilst doing so: work hard, play hard!\n\nYou can make a real difference and find lots of opportunities to grow together with us\n\nDiscretionary PTO: take the time you need to recharge\n\nCompetitive compensation\n\nDepending on location, we offer healthcare benefits according to local standards\n\nTeam retreats across the globe\n\nNote: This is a full-time, fully remote position. We are looking for someone who is available to work during European (CET) business hours.\nThe Process\nWe respect your time and interest in WunderGraph. This is why we're aiming to make the process as fast as possible. Here's what you can expect:\n45 min discussion with the hiring manager. Following this, you might receive a small take home assignment related to the role. This is your chance to prove your skill!\n\nComplete the assignment and review together with hiring manager\n\nMeet the founders\n\nCulture fit call with team members\n\nOffer\n\nOur process also includes reference and background checks. We aim to respond or provide feedback in 2 or 3 days between each stage of the process. We're usually hiring through Deel as our Employer of Record, except for Germany or Florida where we're hiring directly.\nWunderGraph is an equal opportunity workplace; we welcome people from all backgrounds.\nYou can find out more about our ways of working together here:\nWunderGraph Public Handbook and Resources\nWe’re looking forward to your application so we can grow together!","description_format":"text","description_chars":8856,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"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"},{"name":"Germany","iso":"DE","kind":"region"},{"name":"France","iso":"FR","kind":"region"},{"name":"United Kingdom","iso":"GB","kind":"country"},{"name":"Austria","iso":"AT","kind":"region"},{"name":"Belgium","iso":"BE","kind":"region"},{"name":"Bulgaria","iso":"BG","kind":"region"},{"name":"Croatia","iso":"HR","kind":"region"},{"name":"Czech Republic","iso":"CZ","kind":"region"},{"name":"Denmark","iso":"DK","kind":"region"},{"name":"Finland","iso":"FI","kind":"region"},{"name":"Hungary","iso":"HU","kind":"region"},{"name":"Ireland","iso":"IE","kind":"region"},{"name":"Italy","iso":"IT","kind":"region"},{"name":"Netherlands","iso":"NL","kind":"region"},{"name":"Norway","iso":"NO","kind":"region"},{"name":"Poland","iso":"PL","kind":"region"},{"name":"Romania","iso":"RO","kind":"region"},{"name":"Spain","iso":"ES","kind":"region"},{"name":"Sweden","iso":"SE","kind":"region"},{"name":"Switzerland","iso":"CH","kind":"region"},{"name":"Estonia","iso":"EE","kind":"region"},{"name":"Greece","iso":"GR","kind":"region"},{"name":"Iceland","iso":"IS","kind":"region"},{"name":"Latvia","iso":"LV","kind":"region"},{"name":"Liechtenstein","iso":"LI","kind":"region"},{"name":"Lithuania","iso":"LT","kind":"region"},{"name":"Luxembourg","iso":"LU","kind":"region"},{"name":"Malta","iso":"MT","kind":"region"},{"name":"Portugal","iso":"PT","kind":"region"},{"name":"Slovakia","iso":"SK","kind":"region"},{"name":"Slovenia","iso":"SI","kind":"region"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Integration & API Management","Developer Tools"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-06T19:11:38Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":86,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.86,"p_room":1,"age_days":6,"expected_fill_days":35,"reasons":["conf:2","win:early"],"computed_at":"2026-10-13T05:45:00Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/wundergraph-senior-talent-partner","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/wundergraph-senior-talent-partner.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-13T22:59:19Z","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":35063,"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":563},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=563"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fwundergraph-senior-talent-partner"},{"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%2Fwundergraph-senior-talent-partner"},{"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%2Fwundergraph-senior-talent-partner"},{"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/wundergraph-senior-talent-partner\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fwundergraph-senior-talent-partner"}]}
