THE ROLE

We're looking for a Talent Acquisition Specialist who can find exceptional technical talent, move fast, and make hiring a genuine competitive advantage for a scaling product company.

WHAT YOU WILL BE DOING

• You'll own the full recruitment lifecycle across our Software Engineering & Platform teams, hiring for roles including Backend Engineering, Frontend Engineering, Java (Payments), React Native, DevOps, QA Automation, and Engineering Leadership, from initial briefing through to offer acceptance.

• You'll build proactive talent pipelines for hard-to-fill technical roles, so we're never starting from zero.

• You'll develop creative, multi-channel sourcing strategies using LinkedIn Recruiter, referrals, networking, and whatever else works — with a particular focus on engaging passive candidates.

• You'll run structured, competency-based interviews and contribute meaningfully to technical capability assessments alongside the hiring team.

• You'll manage all recruitment activity in Ashby, keeping candidate journeys smooth, well-documented, and consistently excellent.

WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR

• A proven track record in in-house or agency technical recruitment, with solid experience hiring across software engineering and related disciplines.

• Deep sourcing capability — you know how to identify, engage, and convert passive candidates who aren't actively looking.

• Confident stakeholder management skills; you're comfortable partnering with senior hiring managers and pushing back when needed.

• Demonstrated ability to juggle multiple technical vacancies simultaneously without dropping the ball, in a fast-paced, high-growth environment.

• Strong interviewing and candidate assessment skills — you go beyond the CV.

• Hands-on experience with a modern ATS; Ashby experience is a real advantage.

WHY YOU WILL LOVE IT

This isn't a box-ticking recruitment role. At Patrianna, you'll be a genuine partner to the business — working at pace, owning your outcomes, and helping shape the technical teams that build our products. We operate with radical transparency, direct communication, and zero tolerance for politics or ego. Accountability runs through everything we do, and progress always beats perfectionism here.

You'll work in a global, remote-friendly team that communicates openly, moves quickly, and genuinely loves building cool stuff. If you want ownership, impact, and the freedom to do your best work — this is it.

We hire based on skills, drive, and ideas — nothing else. Your background, gender, age, race, ethnicity, disability, sexual orientation, religion, neurodiversity, or educational path will never be a barrier to joining us. We also welcome candidates from non-traditional career journeys and value diverse perspectives that challenge conventional thinking. Diversity fuels our innovation, collaboration, and growth, and we're committed to creating an environment where everyone can contribute their best work and thrive.
