Job description
About the Role
Join an early-stage applied AI company as one of its first recruiting hires. You will own full-cycle hiring for technical teams and partner directly with founders to establish a strong recruiting function.
What You'll Do
Lead full-cycle recruiting for software engineering, infrastructure, applied AI, and product engineering roles.
Build outbound sourcing pipelines for technical candidates from AI labs, quant firms, and high-growth startups.
Partner with founders on hiring strategy, role calibration, interview design, and candidate closing.
Create a thoughtful, efficient candidate experience.
Develop recruiting systems, workflows, templates, and talent market maps.
What We're Looking For
Two to eight years of technical recruiting experience, including work in a startup or boutique agency environment.
A record of sourcing, engaging, and closing engineering candidates in competitive markets, including hard-to-close senior, founding, or infrastructure talent.
Experience building outbound sourcing pipelines and partnering directly with founders, executives, or senior hiring managers.
Strong understanding of software engineering, infrastructure, full-stack, and applied AI roles.
Comfort working at startup pace, with experience beyond corporate-only recruiting.
A bachelor's degree from a US university, and a track record of reasonable tenure in recent roles.
Connections across engineering, AI, startup, university, or quant communities are useful.
Compensation & Benefits
Base salary: $150,000 to $225,000 annually. Visa sponsorship is available.
Location
On-site in San Francisco, California.
