## Job description

## About Bree

Bree is a consumer finance platform that brings better, faster, and cheaper financial services to over half the Canadian population who live paycheck to paycheck. We were part of Y Combinator in 2021 and raised a $2M seed round shortly after. Our culture is defined by high ownership, a bias for action, tenacious problem-solving, and striving to be 1% better every day.

## About the Role

We are looking for a tenacious Technical Recruiter to help fuel our next phase of growth. As an early member of the talent team, you will be the architect of our engineering and product teams. You are someone who thrives in a high-velocity environment and is excited to establish world-class recruiting standards from the ground up. You will be a brand ambassador for Bree, ensuring every candidate has an exceptional experience regardless of the outcome.

## What You’ll Do

- Full-Cycle Recruiting: Own the entire hiring process for technical roles, from initial kick-off with hiring managers to offer negotiation and closing.
- Strategic Sourcing: Actively hunt for top-tier, passive talent for difficult-to-fill engineering and product roles using LinkedIn Recruiter and creative outbound strategies.
- Process Engineering: Build and drive the adoption of standardized, scalable hiring workflows that ensure we remain efficient as we scale. Must be proficient with AI.
- Candidate Experience: Act as the primary point of contact for candidates, providing diligent follow-through and building genuine long-term relationships.
- Data & Strategy: Utilize a data-driven approach to provide leadership with insights on market trends, pipeline health, and long-term talent acquisition strategy.
- Employer Branding: Contribute to Bree’s external employment brand, ensuring we are recognized as a top destination for technical talent in Canada.

## What You’ll Need

- 3+ years of experience in full-cycle technical recruiting, ideally within a fast-paced startup or high-growth environment.
- The "Sourcing Grit": A proven track record of finding and engaging passive candidates who aren't necessarily looking for a new role.
- Extreme Ownership: A self-starter mentality with the ability to navigate ambiguity and "establish something from nothing" without constant direction.
- Technical Fluency: Ability to speak the language of engineers and product managers to effectively screen for both skill and culture fit.
- Exceptional Communication: Impeccable written and verbal skills; you can pitch the Bree vision to a skeptical candidate or a Board member with equal confidence.
- Tools & Systems: Strong experience with ATS platforms and sourcing tools like LinkedIn Recruiter.

## Benefits

- Competitive salary
- A high-autonomy environment where your impact on company culture is visible every single day.
- This is a contract, part-time role to start, with opportunity to advance to a full-time role.

## About Bree

## Company Overview
- **One-liner**: Bree is a Canadian consumer finance platform that provides interest‑free cash advances (up to $750) along with a budgeting tool and financial wellness content to help people avoid overdraft fees.
- **Entity Type**: Private (backed by Y Combinator S21; venture‑funded)
- **Headquarters**: Toronto, Ontario, Canada (also offices in Vancouver, BC; United States; Philippines; Vietnam)
- **Founded**: 2021
- **Founders**: Adam Kang and Alexander Li

## Core Business
- **Primary industry**: Consumer finance / Fintech
- **Target customers**: B2C – Canadians living paycheck‑to‑paycheck, especially those at risk of overdraft
- **Mission/purpose statement**: “To help Canadians move towards financial wellness” with no interest, no mandatory fees, and a community‑supported model.

## Products & Services
- **Cash Advance (Flagship)**: Interest‑free cash advances from $20 up to $750, with 0% APR. No mandatory fees or interest; users choose an optional tip. Repayment is triggered on the next payday (minimum 1 day, maximum 90 days). Offers overdraft protection.
- **Budgeting Tool**: Included in the optional monthly membership ($2.99/month after a 1‑month free trial). Provides financial insights and spending tracking.
- **Weekly Newsletter**: Financial wellness content sent to subscribers.

## Market Standing
- **Valuation / Market Cap**: Not disclosed (private company)
- **Key Metric**: Over 400,000 consumers have signed up since 2021 (source: LinkedIn)
- **Notable Investors/Partners**: Y Combinator (S21 batch), plus other venture capital firms and angel investors.
- **Growth Signals**: Headcount grew 54.2% YoY to 31 employees (LinkedIn). Active job postings increased 140% year‑over‑year. Expanding into new roles across engineering, product, and operations.

## Competitive Advantages
- **No‑interest, no‑fee model**: Differentiates from payday lenders and traditional overdraft services. Users only tip if they choose, keeping the service affordable.
- **Community‑supported ethos**: “Pay it forward” culture – tips from users keep the service running, aligning incentives with customer well‑being.
- **Simple, fast access**: Sign up and get approved in minutes; integrated with payroll for automatic repayment.
- **Strong early traction**: 400,000+ users in a large addressable market (20M+ Canadians living paycheck‑to‑paycheck).

## Strategic Focus
- **Product expansion**: Bree positions itself as “Chime for Canada” – aiming to become a full‑service digital banking alternative. Current hiring includes ML engineers for underwriting and product managers for new features.
- **Growth**: Scaling engineering and AI capabilities (e.g., Machine Learning Engineer, Underwriting) to improve credit decisioning and personalisation.
- **Geographic reach**: Currently Canada‑focused but has remote teams in the US, Philippines, and Vietnam, suggesting interest in global talent and possibly future international expansion.

## Why Work Here
- **Culture & mission**: “Customer First” and “Trust” are core values. The company aims to replace predatory payday loans with a fair, transparent service.
- **Engineering environment**: Tech stack includes modern tools (React Native, Python, Kubernetes, AWS, Snowflake, PyTorch). Teams are cross‑functional and agile.
- **Growth opportunity**: Rapid headcount growth (54% YoY) and a startup stage (Series unknown, but YC‑backed) means employees can have outsized impact.
- **Work policy**: Hybrid/remote options – roles are listed as remote (US/Canada) or Toronto/ Vancouver. Flexible working arrangements.
- **Compensation**: Salaries for engineering roles range from roughly $130K–$230K CAD (per YC job listings), competitive for Canadian fintech.
- **Benefits**: Optional $2.99/month membership for premium budgeting features; otherwise no mandatory fees. Perks mentioned: free trial, community support model.
