We’re jumpapp.com! AI For Financial Advisors
We’re scaling our product and need an engineering-minded leader who loves people-operations as much as clean code. You’ll own the end-to-end hiring funnel—from crafting eye-catching job ads to running paid trial engagements—so we can hire the best engineers.
We believe the best team wins. Hiring is possibly the most important thing Jump does. Please come help us innovate and do it better than anyone else.
What you’ll do
Write magnetic job descriptions that speak to senior ICs, EMs, and niche specialists.
Design realistic screening exercises tailored to each role’s stack.
Run a lightweight recruiting loop
Partner with our in-house recruiter on top-of-funnel outreach.
Direct-source the occasional purple-squirrel yourself.
Interview & evaluate candidates (resume triage, tech screens, culture chats).
Invent challenging paid “challenge projects.”
Define scope, success metrics, and deliverables.
Manage trial week engineers
Provide onboarding docs, pick meaningful tickets, unblock trial engineers, and review their code.
Give hiring recommendations to the engineering leadership team—complete with rubric scores, code-quality notes, and trial-week retros.
Maintain candidate relationships—especially referrals—so great people stay excited about us.
You might be a great fit if
Engineering credibility. 5-8 yrs building production software and 2-4 yrs leading teams or hiring loops.
People-first mindset. You coach politely, unblock quickly, and love turning good engineers into great teammates.
Assessment craft. You can spot elegant code, design objective rubrics, and debate trade-offs with any Staff-level dev.
Process builder. You iterate on funnels, track pass-through metrics, and know when to add (or remove) steps.
Excellent communicator. Clear writing, concise async updates, and a knack for making candidates feel valued.
Our hiring process:
40 minute screening exercise (show proficiency so we know you can judge the quality of candidate’s code)
30 minute chat with our CTO
