Technical Recruiter

Lookout is growing, and so is our recruiting team. Come join us and help build a world-class talent acquisition organization!

We need a high-energy technical recruiter who shares our philosophy that finding high-quality talent requires innovative, out-of-the-box thinking versus traditional reactive methods.
