Senior HRBP

5+ years of progressive HR experience, including at least 3 years in an HRBP role at a venture-backed tech company, with deep experience partnering with technical functions — ideally Engineering, Data, or Product. An advanced degree in Industrial & Organizational Psychology, HR, Business Analytics, or a related field is a plus

A builder with a product mindset — comfortable writing PRDs, managing a backlog, and iterating on tools and agents. You ship, learn, and improve rather than wait for perfect conditions

An AI-forward practitioner who has moved past using AI to answer questions and is actively building automation into the way HR work gets done

Strong analytical and statistical skills, with hands-on experience in HR analytics tooling. Comfortable building models that go meaningfully beyond survey averages and headcount reports

Fluent in technical comp and engineering leveling frameworks (IC ladders, management tracks, dual-track architectures), with a point of view on what makes them hold up under real-world calibration

A first-principles thinker — comfortable challenging traditional HR "best practices" when data or technology suggests a better path

Direct experience partnering with senior technical leaders (CTO, VPE, Director-level engineering managers) as a trusted partner, not a service provider, including the judgment calls that come with employee relations work — investigations, accommodations, terminations

You read situations the way a good manager would — you can tell when an ER case is really about a manager problem, when a comp request is really about a title problem, and when a "process" complaint is really about something else
