Journee is seeking a highly experienced freelance Tech Recruiter to support our immediate hiring needs across a wide range of very complex technical roles. This is a contract-based role ideal for someone who’s comfortable jumping in quickly, working independently, and driving hiring processes end-to-end.

We’re building teams in cutting-edge domains including machine learning, cloud infrastructure, and backend systems, and need someone who knows how to find and engage top-tier talent fast.

What You'll Do:

• Own the end-to-end recruitment process for selected tech roles — from sourcing and screening to coordinating interviews and supporting final offer stages.
• Partner directly with hiring managers to align on role requirements, timelines, and search strategy.
• Proactively source and approach qualified candidates using LinkedIn Recruiter, Boolean search, and other sourcing tools.
• Manage multiple pipelines at once and keep stakeholders informed through timely, structured updates.
• Ensure a smooth and professional candidate experience at every stage of the process.

What We're Looking For:

• Proven track record as a top-performing tech recruiter, successfully filling highly complex roles — ideally including Cloud Infrastructure, Machine Learning, AI Engineering, and other niche tech positions — in startups or high-growth tech environments
• Minimum of 4+ years of recent work experience dedicated exclusively to tech recruitment with a focus on sourcing and hiring for highly specialized technical profiles
• Excellent communication skills and a collaborative, solution-oriented mindset
• Available to work on a freelance/day-rate basis, immediately or on short notice

Why work with us:

• Flexibility to work in Berlin or remotely in a similar time zone (CET +/- 2 hours).
• Exciting career growth opportunities in a startup environment working on cutting edge projects with top global brands.
• Become part of our mission to make the internet more beautiful.
• Regular connecting team off-sites and team dinner events.
• We have strong values in place: high performance, transparency, continuous learning, humbleness and pride.

Journee is committed to creating a diverse and inclusive workplace where everyone is treated with dignity, respect, and fairness. We value diversity in all its forms, including but not limited to race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, age, religion, national origin, disability, and veteran status. We believe that a diverse and inclusive workplace leads to better business outcomes, stronger relationships with our customers and partners, and a more fulfilling work experience for our employees.
