Now hiring product roles

We've been quietly hiring product roles for over a year, it's been awesome so we'll stop doing it quietly. A bunch of our tech recruiters have product management experience, so you're in great hands.

Hiring advice

“Although I’m not coding on a daily basis, I’ve really enjoyed meeting developers and chatting with them. Having that technical background definitely helps me understand what developers and companies are after. I’ve also spent a lot of time giving people general advice on job searching and resume writing. They really appreciate that.”

Fiona Chan
Lookahead recruiter since 2015
