About the Role
This is a full-cycle recruiting role at a small, high-caliber AI/ML infrastructure startup where every hire directly shapes the company's trajectory. You will work closely with founders and researchers to bring in exceptional engineers and go-to-market leaders, and you will own the recruiting function end-to-end in a tight-knit, in-person environment.
What You'll Do
-
Own end-to-end recruiting across technical (engineering, product) and GTM roles simultaneously.
-
Build and optimize recruiting operations and tooling, automating workflows wherever possible.
-
Partner with founders and team leads to define role requirements, evaluation criteria, and interview processes.
-
Develop a strong understanding of a technical AI/ML product to pitch candidates credibly and compellingly.
-
Source top candidates through high-signal and unconventional channels beyond standard job boards.
-
Screen candidates for both technical competence and product intuition, using portfolios and projects alongside resumes.
-
Support new hire onboarding and ramp-up.
-
Help define and run performance review processes, leveling frameworks, and feedback systems.
What We're Looking For
-
3 or more years of full-cycle recruiting experience covering technical (engineering, product) and GTM roles.
-
Ability to understand and communicate complex technical concepts well enough to engage credibly with engineering and product candidates.
-
Hands-on experience at an early-stage startup, with the independence and adaptability that requires.
-
Experience building and optimizing recruiting ops, including workflow automation.
-
Strong instincts for talent quality and a track record of creative sourcing strategies.
-
Comfort evaluating candidates via portfolios and projects, not just resumes, including non-traditional profiles.
-
Familiarity with modern recruiting tools such as Ashby, Juicebox, or Clay.
-
Experience using AI or vibe coding approaches to automate recruiting workflows.
-
Exposure to or ownership of people ops and HR functions such as onboarding, performance reviews, and leveling.
