About the role
We are an AWS Advanced Tier Partner, and our engineers work across platforms including Azure, Fortinet, Palo Alto Networks, Zscaler, CrowdStrike, Okta, SailPoint, and Illumio. Zappsec is a consultancy, not a staffing firm, so every hire joins a team that designs, builds, and runs the work.About the roleYou will run full-cycle recruiting for the technical and business roles that power Zappsec's practices. Most searches are for cloud, network, security, identity, and AI infrastructure specialists, and many carry a firm certification or platform bar. You will also hire for leadership and go-to-market roles as the company grows.
Some requisitions support our own teams, and others staff specific client engagements on tight timelines. For some positions, we need qualified candidates within 24 to 48 hours. The role suits a recruiter who enjoys learning the technology well enough to hold a credible conversation with an architect.What you will doRequisition intake and job descriptions
