About the Role

Team: People
Reports to: Head of People
Location: Remote (US)
Type: Full-time
Compensation: $175,000 - $200,000

Why This Role, Now

CodePath is hiring across product, engineering, growth, curriculum, and revenue at the same time, and the quality of every one of those hires runs through Talent Acquisition. We have proven we can generate demand. Our next challenge is building a hiring engine that reliably turns that demand into great hires: a clear bar at every stage, enough qualified candidates in every pipeline, and a team equipped to move quickly without lowering the standard.

This is the senior leader who owns that engine. You will define CodePath's talent acquisition strategy, build and scale the team that runs it, and sit at the table with our senior leadership on the decisions that shape the company. You will report to the Head of People and own recruiting outcomes across the organization.

What You Will Own

The talent acquisition strategy. You set the vision for how CodePath attracts, evaluates, and hires talent, and you translate the company's growth plans into a workforce and hiring plan the organization can execute against.

Pipeline and throughput at scale. You are accountable for the volume and quality of candidates across every open role. Every search reaches a strong slate of finalists, sourced and inbound work together, and no role stalls for lack of qualified candidates.

You set the operating rhythm that keeps hiring on track as the team grows.

The hiring system. You own the process end to end: the rubrics, the interview stages, the scorecards, and the gates that decide who advances. You make sure every stage produces real signal, so that decisions are trustworthy before we ask them to be fast.

Employer brand and market presence. You own how CodePath shows up to candidates. You build the brand and the always-on talent pools that bring strong people to us, so the funct

How We Work

We recruit AI-first. AI clears the busywork so that human judgment on candidates gets more attention, not less. We expect you to set the standard for how the team uses these tools, and to have a clear view on where they help and where they do not belong. We value leaders who adopt new tools because they want to work better, not because someone told them to.

Why Join

You will own and build a function, with the mandate and the executive support to do it right. Your work will directly determine the caliber of people who carry CodePath's mission forward, which means it directly determines how many students reach a career in tech that would otherwise have been out of reach.
