Requirements
  • Seven or more years of experience recruiting technical talent in high-growth SaaS, technology, or venture-capital/private-equity-backed environments.
  • Proven success hiring software engineering, artificial intelligence/machine learning, platform, infrastructure, or security talent at the individual-contributor and manager levels.
  • Strong technical fluency and the ability to credibly assess engineering talent across modern technologies and artificial-intelligence-native skill sets.
  • Experience partnering with engineering leaders to develop hiring strategies, influence hiring decisions, and deliver exceptional candidate experiences.
  • Strong understanding of technical talent markets, sourcing strategies, compensation trends, and competitive hiring practices.
  • A track record of building proactive talent pipelines, scalable recruiting processes, and trusted stakeholder relationships.
  • Comfort using artificial-intelligence tools to improve research, drafting, and workflow efficiency, and staying current on new artificial-intelligence capabilities relevant to recruiting.
Responsibilities
  • Lead full-cycle recruiting across artificial-intelligence/machine-learning, artificial-intelligence-native software engineering, platform, infrastructure, and security roles.
  • Build proactive pipelines for recurring technical roles and emerging skill sets critical to ASG's artificial-intelligence transformation.
  • Partner with ASG's Chief Technology Officer and engineering leaders to define hiring strategies, calibrate candidate profiles, and deliver hiring outcomes.
  • Assess technical talent rigorously, distinguishing exceptional artificial-intelligence-native builders from candidates with surface-level experience.
  • Conduct technical talent research and intelligence, including market mapping, compensation benchmarking, and competitive hiring analysis.
  • Develop technical interview frameworks, scorecards, and recruiting playbooks that improve hiring quality and consistency.
  • Manage relationships with specialized technical recruiting partners and search firms when appropriate.
  • Partner directly with recruiters, portfolio leaders, and executives to align technical hiring strategies with ASG's long-term growth.
Desired Qualifications
  • A proactive, solution-oriented mindset.
  • Alignment with ASG values: character, persistence, intellectual honesty, balanced lives, passion, and continuous improvement.

Alpine SG buys niche vertical SaaS firms serving specialized markets and folds them into a common platform. Each acquired company operates independently but gains access to ASG's shared services, capital, and operational expertise from Alpine Investors. The portfolio spans legal tech, govtech, marketing tech, real estate, logistics, and hospitality, with recurring revenue and strong customer loyalty. The goal is to give founders liquidity and build a scalable, diversified platform that accelerates growth across portfolio companies.

Simplify's Take

What believers are saying

  • ASG completed a record 190 deals in 2025 and launched five platforms.
  • PlayHQ added Australia, Canada, and UK expansion, with Europe next after January 2026.
  • 2026 job postings reached 107, showing continued hiring momentum across ASG companies.

What critics are saying

  • ASG sold nine businesses in 2025, signaling portfolio churn and integration pressure.
  • PlayHQ’s January 2026 acquisition still depends on regulatory approvals and cross-border execution.
  • A failed thesis on vertical SaaS consolidation would strand ASG IV’s capital and sourcing engine.

What makes Alpine SG unique

  • ASG launched ASG IV in 2025, targeting $5–50M ARR vertical SaaS globally.
  • ASG closed 50 software acquisitions by January 2023 and 60-plus companies by 2026.
  • PeopleFirst leadership rotation and founder-friendly exits distinguish ASG from financial-only rollups.
