We move with urgency and believe great outcomes come from high standards. About the role HackerRank's data platform is at an inflection point. We've completed a multi-year modernisation - migrating from Redshift to StarRocks + Apache Hudi - and cut export latencies from 25 seconds to under 5 seconds. The infrastructure groundwork is done. Now we're building the AI-native data layer that will power revenue-generating features like natural language querying for HackerRank for Work customers. As Lead Data Engineer, you'll be a senior individual contributor at the heart of the data organisation - owning complex platform decisions, collaborating cross-functionally with AI, product, and go-to-market teams, and shipping data-driven features that directly drive revenue. This is a greenfield opportunity to shape the next phase of data at HackerRank. What you will do Own and evolve the data platform - StarRocks (OLAP), Apache Hudi (Data Lake), Trino, Spark, and Apache Ranger - ensuring performance, reliability, and security at scale. Build the next-gen AI-optimised data layer: clean, structured datasets that power natural language querying and AI add-on features for HackerRank for Work customers.

About the role Hiring is one of the most consequential decisions a company makes. 3,000+ enterprises rely on HackerRank to get it right. We are now reinventing how that works for the agentic era. The ML systems that power this platform are not auxiliary features. They are the product. Open Problems The agentic era is reshaping every layer of the hiring stack. These are some of the core problems you'll be working across, none of them fully solved. Chakra: Building an autonomous AI interviewer that conducts, adapts to, and evaluates technical interviews end to end. Integrity: Detecting fraud and suspicious behavior across multiple signal types. The ways candidates game assessments change frequently, and the models need to keep up. Evaluation: Measuring technical skill in a world where AI writes the code. The old proxies no longer hold and the new ones have not been defined yet. Your focus will shift across these depending on where the highest-leverage work is at any given time. What you will do Design and ship production ML systems across Chakra, integrity, and evaluation domains. Own the full ML lifecycle: problem framing, data strategy, experimentation, deployment, and iteration. Build evaluation infrastructure and bench

We move with urgency and believe great outcomes come from high standards. We are hiring a Global Talent Acquisition Partner who operates less like a traditional recruiter and more like a builder. This role owns Product, Engineering, and Design hiring in India with exposure to US and EMEA reqs and some GTM hiring. A lot of what we hire sits at the intersection of AI, product, and platform. Terms like RLHF, SFT, and foundation model work should already mean something to you before the intake call. On the GTM side, you should know whether a role calls for a PLG-motion seller, an enterprise AE, or a RevOps operator and understand how ARR stage and ICP shape that answer. You follow what AI-first startups are building for and bring those signals into how you run searches here. What you will do Own full-cycle hiring across Product, Engineering, Design, and GTM, including select US and EMEA reqs Build sourcing workflows using AI tools and agents, not inbound pipelines or third-party agencies Advise hiring managers and leadership directly: bring market data, calibrate scope, and push back when the brief doesn't hold Take on ambiguous and net-new roles with no existing playbook and build one as you go Present pipeline health, market insight, and hiring recommendations to senior leadership Who you are 4
