About the Role
This is a full-cycle recruiting role at a lean, high-caliber AI/ML company where every hire genuinely shapes the company's trajectory. You'll work directly alongside founders to identify and land exceptional engineers and GTM leaders, operating as the cornerstone of a deliberately small, high-trust team.
What You'll Do
-
Own end-to-end recruiting across both technical (engineering, product) and GTM roles.
-
Build and optimize recruiting operations and tooling, automating workflows wherever possible.
-
Partner closely with founders and team leads to define role requirements, evaluation criteria, and interview processes.
-
Develop a deep understanding of a technical AI product to pitch candidates credibly and compellingly.
-
Source top candidates through high-signal and unconventional channels.
-
Evaluate candidates using portfolios and projects — not just resumes.
-
Support onboarding and new hire ramp-up.
-
Help define and run performance review processes, leveling, and feedback systems.
What We're Looking For
-
3+ years of full-cycle recruiting experience across engineering, product, and GTM roles — this is a dealbreaker requirement.
-
Proven ability to understand and communicate complex technical concepts to credibly engage with engineering and product candidates.
-
Early-stage startup experience with demonstrated ability to work independently and move fast.
-
Experience building and optimizing recruiting ops, including workflow automation.
-
Strong instincts for talent quality and bar-setting, including evaluating non-traditional candidate profiles.
-
Track record of creative, high-signal sourcing strategies.
-
Familiarity with recruiting tools such as Ashby, Juicebox, or Clay.
-
Experience with AI-assisted or "vibe coding" approaches to automate recruiting workflows.
-
Exposure to or ownership of People Ops/HR functions such as onboarding, performance reviews, and leveling.
