We believe university and early career hiring helps our company look at problems in alternative ways, integrate fresh perspectives, and innovate. We're currently looking for an Early Career Talent Partner to own intern, entry-level, and early career hiring for our Technology & Platform team, building the pipeline of engineers who will build and scale the systems our trading business runs on. This role will be responsible for attracting and hiring high-potential colleagues, developing quality relationships with technical student groups, and building a strong employer brand among the college communities that produce top engineering talent. You will own stakeholder relationships with Technology & Platform leadership and strategically partner with the business to drive hiring and lead best practices in technical talent acquisition.
Execute the campus recruitment strategy for the Technology & Platform team and influence future intern, campus, and early career recruiting cycles, including undergraduate and graduate-student recruitment
Sponsor, attend, and support hackathons using them as a primary sourcing and brand-building channel to identify strong engineers early and build Belvedere's reputation in the community
Own and continually sharpen our technical assessment process: partner with engineering leaders to build, run, and iterate on coding challenges and technical interviews that hold up as candidates' coursework and skill level advance
Evaluate technical skill as students’ progress through their coursework, with a specific eye toward identifying engineers who can genuinely elevate how we code and assessing real problem-solving and coding ability rather than output that leans heavily on AI-assisted tools
Foster and maintain relationships with computer science and engineering departments, coding clubs, and open-source/dev student organizations, positioning Belvedere as a destination employer within those communities

Provide a high-touch candidate and hiring manager experience by articulating our core values in ways that resonate with a technical, engineering-focused candidate pool
Evaluate and measure campus recruiting results and identify areas for process and performance improvement, systematization, and automation
2+ years recruitment experience, preferably with intern, entry-level and early career talent pools in fintech, big tech, and financial firms
Ability to manage full-cycle recruiting process including resume review, phone screens, interview scheduling and facilitation, and offer calls
Demonstrated success recruiting at multiple universities in highly competitive markets, ideally within software engineering or technical early-career talent

Ability to travel as needed during peak campus recruiting periods in the fall and spring, including to hackathons and technical career events
Demonstrated ability to manage multiple priorities/projects, meet deadlines, and facilitate change with a sense of urgency
Proven analytical, organizational, and decision-making skills with demonstrated negotiation skills and influencing positive outcomes
