About the Role
This is a high-trust, early-stage role at a frontier AI infrastructure company building the platform for RL environment creation and post-training data generation. As Growth Lead, you'll be the connective tissue between the company's vision and the broader AI ecosystem — owning recruiting, culture, community, and evangelism from the ground up. It's a rare opportunity to shape a company's identity and team at a genuinely pivotal moment in AI development.
What You'll Do
-
Tell the company's story compellingly to candidates, researchers, and key players across the AI ecosystem.
-
Source, engage, and build relationships with AI engineers, RL researchers, and other high-priority individuals.
-
Define company culture and values, then translate them into candidate screening criteria and new hire onboarding processes.
-
Own end-to-end recruiting operations, including building and optimizing systems, tooling, and automated workflows in partnership with the Chief of Staff.
-
Host and represent the company at community and industry events, collaborating with the marketing function on content and activations.
-
Partner with GTM engineers to map and pursue connection pathways into high-priority leads and ecosystem partners.
What We're Looking For
-
3–8 years of experience in recruiting, community building, GTM, or a closely related function at an early-stage startup.
-
Proven ability to run end-to-end recruiting processes and build recruiting operations, tooling, and automated workflows.
-
Demonstrated success finding, connecting with, and engaging technical talent or key individuals in AI, ML, or adjacent communities.
-
Strong existing network within RL research, RL engineering, or the broader startup ecosystem.
-
Excellent communication skills — well-spoken, extraverted, and skilled at reading people in high-context situations.
-
Ability to understand and clearly explain complex technical products related to frontier AI, agents, and training data.
-
Experience defining company values and developing onboarding programs for new hires.
-
Experience hosting or organizing community and industry events and creating marketing or community content.
-
A standout writing portfolio that demonstrates clear, engaging technical or brand storytelling.
-
Genuine enthusiasm for frontier AI models and the conviction to advocate for a technical vision.
-
Comfort operating independently in fast-moving, ambiguous environments with evolving scope.
