About MVP Launch

MVP Launch™ builds software companies for non-technical founders.

We place a vetted software engineer and a UX/UI designer into a founder’s new startup, manage the delivery end-to-end, and launch their MVP within 8 weeks. Our productized model blends engineering placement, software build management, and go-to-market execution.

We are growing quickly and expanding our internal infrastructure to handle global demand.

The Role

We are hiring a Technical Recruiter who specializes in sourcing and evaluating:

• Full-stack engineers (React/Next.js + PostgreSQL)
• UX/UI product designers (Figma + design systems)
• Contract and fractional technical talent

This is not traditional staffing.

This is end-to-end talent acquisition for startup co-founder placement.

You will own the entire recruiting pipeline:

1. Source talent (LinkedIn, GitHub, job boards, referrals)
2. Run screening interviews
3. Assign and manage paid take-home test (GitHub)
4. Present shortlists to internal CTO / Delivery Lead
5. Coordinate placement into client projects

Your responsibility: find and secure elite talent quickly.

• Administer and manage take-home assessment tests via GitHub
• Track progress in our internal candidate pipeline system
• Coordinate handoff to CTO / Project Manager for onboarding
• Maintain a structured database of pre-vetted engineers on bench

Requirements

• 2–5+ years recruiting software engineers or product designers
• Experience sourcing and screening technical talent for fast-paced environments
• Strong understanding of product and software terminology (React, Node, Next.js, APIs, Figma, etc.)
• Proven ability to manage multiple hiring pipelines simultaneously
• Excellent communication and process management skills
• Located in Dubai or able to relocate (required)

Preferred Experience

• Recruiting for startups, accelerators, or software development firms
• Knowledge of freelance marketplaces, top-tier sourcing platforms, and recruiting systems
• Ability to assess culture fit, ownership mindset, and delivery standards

What success looks like

• 7–10 qualified engineers and designers sourced weekly
• 3–5 candidates completing paid take-home assessment per week
• Talent bench growing to 100+ vetted candidates by month three
• Average placement cycle under 7 days

Tools You Will Use

• LinkedIn Recruiter or equivalent sourcing tools
• ATS (internal system)
• Slack (communication)
• GitHub (technical assessment coordination)
• Notion or equivalent for pipeline tracking

Growth Path

• Senior Technical Recruiter →
