Senior Technical Recruiter (Software Engineering)

Our Mission  

SPAN develops products that accelerate the rapid adoption of renewable energy in the home. The flagship SPAN Smart Panel is the first true evolution for the traditional home electric panel, harnessing enhanced technology for metering, monitoring, and control. An expanded product suite of intelligent, integrated solutions radically lowers the cost and complexity of energy upgrades–including solar, batteries and EVs–empowering homeowners to be active, resilient and informed players in the energy market. 

The Role

At SPAN, we are building products to enable the rapid adoption of renewable energy and our team is growing quickly to drive this mission.  As a Technical Recruiter at SPAN, you will source, manage, and hire a talented and diverse pipeline of candidates for all teams with a focus on Engineering. You are a champion of SPAN’s values and are able to incorporate them in strategy and implementation to help achieve the hiring needs of the company. You are able to get up-to-speed quickly on the technical details of our product and can clearly explain the specifics of various roles to candidates. Relationship building is a key part of this job as you’d partner closely with the hiring managers across our teams to build a best in class candidate experience.

In this role, you will:

• Work closely with team leads and executive staff to assess SPAN’s business needs and develop a hiring plan to support them

• Develop and implement Span’s strategy to source diverse candidates from talent pools both in the energy industry and across disciplines
• Act as Span’s subject matter expert for developing cohesive interview plans and best practices for interviewing

As we are a startup, this list should be considered neither exhaustive nor complete. We are excited for people to explore responsibilities outside their normal areas of expertise if the need or interest arises.
