About Juli Warren

Principal-Level Technical Recruiter | Global HR | AI, Data & Engineering Hiring | Compensation & Team Member ExperienceI’m a senior, principal-level technical recruiter with 10+ years of experience hiring across software engineering, AI/ML, data science, and digital, retail, and consumer technology. I currently lead recruiting efforts within Retail Consumer Technology and previously supported AI and Data organizations as part of Global Human Resources.Over the past several years, I’ve partnered with leaders to hire more than 150 engineers, scientists, and technology leaders, ranging from early-career talent to senior managers and directors. I’ve supported both sponsored and non-sponsored candidates, guided hiring managers through complex hiring decisions, and worked to improve internal mobility, compensation alignment, and the overall candidate and team experience.What I Care AboutI care deeply about building diverse, forward-thinking technology teams that are positioned to grow and succeed as the work, the technology, and the business evolve.I’m passionate about creating hiring processes that are thoughtful, fair, and genuinely human — where candidates feel respected, teams feel supported, and hiring managers feel confident and aligned.I partner closely with leaders to understand not just the role, but the systems, the tech stack, and the dynamics that truly make an engineering team strong. For me, great hiring is about looking beyond today’s need and hiring with intention for what’s next.I also care deeply about company values and employer brand. I believe how we hire reflects who we are as an organization, and I take pride in representing a company thoughtfully, honestly, and with integrity.I’m motivated by purpose, not just a paycheck. The work matters to me, the people matter to me, and the experience — for candidates, teams, and hiring managers — is always at the center of how I approach my role.If you’re hiring, growing your career, or just want to swap notes on tech recruiting—let’s connect.
