Founding Recruiter

About The Role

Lightfield is reinventing CRM from the ground up - and we're doing it fast. We're an early-stage startup where every hire directly shapes our trajectory, and we need someone who is energized by that pressure, not intimidated by it. Reporting directly to the CEO, you'll own talent across Engineering and GTM in one of the most critical phases of company building: the zero-to-one sprint where the right hires compound and the wrong ones cost months.

Your north star is scaling a world-class engineering team without losing the bar.

Who You Are

• 5+ years of full-cycle recruiting, with a heavy focus on scaling early-stage engineering teams in fast-paced, high-growth environments
• A proven closer who has landed senior and staff-level engineers in competitive markets - and can tell the story of how
• A builder by nature - you've stood up or overhauled recruiting systems from scratch in ambiguous, low-infrastructure startup environments and thrived in it
• Comfortable with speed and ambiguity - at an early-stage startup, the priorities shift, the roles evolve, and the bar keeps moving; you adjust without losing momentum
• Autonomous and decisive - you operate well as a team of one, make trade-offs without hand-holding, and iterate fast
• Genuinely motivated by the mission, not just the process - you want to help build something from the ground up, not just fill seats
