Location : Lisbon | Type : Full-time, On-site ( Lisbon office min 3 days / week)

Who We Are

Step In X is a no-fluff, high-output recruitment partner for fast-growth tech startups. We work with some of the most ambitious founders and operators in Europe and the Middle East, helping them scale their engineering, GTM, and leadership teams with speed and precision.

From pre-seed rocketships to post-Series B scalers, we’ve built a reputation for one thing : elite talent, delivered fast .

We are not here to schmooze HR departments. We close deals, build talent pipelines, and make ourselves indispensable to the people actually building the future.

If that sounds better than maintaining relationships or sitting in endless alignment meetings, keep reading.

What You’ll Do (And Do Well)

Hunt and Close : Identify high-growth software companies like SaaS platforms, AI startups, or B2B tools that need sharp recruitment support. Get decision-makers on a call and seal the deal.

Build a Founder Network : Develop strategic relationships with tech founders, investors, and hiring leads. Become the first call when they need someone hired yesterday.

Drive Revenue Relentlessly : This is a sales role. You will run outbound campaigns, pitch our services, and sign contracts that directly grow the business.

Create Opportunities : Join events, coworking spaces, LinkedIn conversations, and community groups. You will not wait for leads—you will generate them.
