  • Experience owning recruiting processes and systems at an early-stage company, including recruiting operations, tools, and workflows.

  • Experience connecting with people in technical communities and building relationships with key individuals.

  • Ability to understand and clearly explain technical products related to frontier AI agents, reinforcement learning, and training data.

  • Experience defining culture and values, creating onboarding processes, producing marketing or community content, and supporting events.

  • An established network in reinforcement learning research, engineering, or startup communities, plus professional writing samples.
