Lazer's Fintech practice partners with some of the most ambitious teams in financial software, across payments, lending, capital markets, embedded finance, and AI-native financial products. We're still deep in the crypto ecosystem too, working with some of the most well-known crypto-native trading and infrastructure projects. The bigger story is the convergence: traditional finance platforms are modernizing fast and leveraging both crypto and AI, and our practice sits right at that intersection. Many of our engagements involve clients embedding agents, copilots, and LLM-driven workflows directly into their financial products. This space is still being shaped, and the team we hire gets to shape it.
5 to 7 years of full-cycle technical recruiting experience hiring software engineers, with a meaningful chunk of that time spent in crypto, fintech or adjacent financial infrastructure (payments, lending, capital markets, embedded finance, financial data platforms)
A blended background across in-house and agency or embedded search. You've built pipelines from inside a product company and you've also run external search, so you operate well in both modes
You actively want to use AI in your day to day recruiting work, not just tolerate it. Sourcing agents, automated outreach, AI-assisted screening, and AI-assisted candidate prep are tools you reach for first
Deeply AI-fluent on the candidate side too. You can credibly evaluate engineers who are shipping with LLMs, agents, RAG, evals, and modern AI infrastructure
A real, warm network of fintech engineering talent across the US and Canada that you can tap on day one
An exceptional closer who can articulate technical opportunities to skeptical senior engineers and read what actually motivates them
A direct, low-ego operator who is comfortable with ambiguity and a fast-moving environment
A strong written communicator. Your outreach gets opened and replied to because it sounds like a human who did the work, not a templated blast
Own the full hiring funnel for engineering roles across Lazer's Fintech practice, from intake to offer signed
Partner directly with Cofounders and Fintech leadership to translate strategy into a sharp, prioritized hiring plan
Source proactively. The bar is high and most of our hires come from outbound, so you'll be in the trenches building lists, writing thoughtful outreach, and running sourcing sprints
Build and run interview loops that move fast and protect quality, including writing rubrics and coaching interviewers
Use AI to compound your output. Build sourcing agents, automate the boring parts, and keep raising your own ceiling on what one recruiter can do
Close candidates with substance. Lead reference calls, manage offer negotiations, and get the right people across the line
Bring market signal back to the business: comp benchmarks, competitive intel, what we're losing candidates on, and what to change
Help shape how we hire as we scale. The playbook you build here gets applied across the rest of the company
AI in our hiring process
We use AI to help us review and shortlist applications based on job-related criteria. A human hiring manager always makes the call on who moves forward. As a company that builds with AI every day, we're all for candidates using it too — just be upfront about how it helped.
