About Frontline Wildfire Defense

Founded in 2017, Frontline developed the first fully integrated wildfire defense system to stop the leading cause of home loss in wildfires: ember-driven ignition. The system combines exterior sprinklers, full-coverage design, and connected software for remote monitoring and response, allowing homes to protect themselves long after families evacuate or infrastructure fails.

Proven effective during the 2025 Los Angeles wildfires, 96% of homes with Frontline systems survived. That success has earned top industry recognition, including Frontline being recognized as one of TIME’s Best Inventions 2025 in the Green Tech category and receiving the PCBC Gold Nugget Award for “Most Innovative Housing Concept” and the Best of IBS Award for “Best Home Technology.”

As wildfires grow hotter and more frequent, our vision is to give people the tools and strategies to live safely with fire. We’re building a mission-driven team creating real-world solutions in wildfire safety and climate tech.

About This Opportunity

Frontline is growing its Product and Technology teams, and we’re looking for a Senior Technical Recruiter to lead that hiring. As a generalist, you will own full-cycle recruiting across software, hardware, data, and cloud, from the connected controller to the apps and fire data behind it.

You will recruit roles such that span front-end (web and mobile), backend and infrastructure (Elixir, AWS), embedded firmware (Linux, IoT), electro-mechanical, reliability and quality, data/ML, and product design. You will partner closely with our VP of Product and hiring managers to hire great people quickly.

Reporting to the Talent Acquisition Manager, this role is ideal for an experienced technical recruiter who can speak credibly with engineers, source candidates who aren’t actively looking, and thrive in a fast-moving climate tech company where every hire matters.
