Founding Recruiter

About the role

The team we build right now will define Roger's trajectory. We need a Founding Recruiter who takes full ownership of how we find, attract, and close the exceptional talent that will accelerate this mission.

This isn't a "fill roles as they come" position. You'll partner directly with founders to turn ambitious hiring goals into a repeatable, high-signal hiring engine, defining who we hire, how we hire, and how we show up to the talent market.

This is a founding role with real impact, real ownership, and real expectations. As Roger scales, you'll have the opportunity to build and lead a recruiting team, own employer brand, and grow into a strategic People leader with a seat at the table.

What You'll Do

• Own hiring end-to-end: Source, engage, interview, and close exceptional engineers, operators, and product leaders with quality and speed.
• Partner directly with founders: Translate company goals into hiring plans, headcount forecasts, and clear role definitions.
• Build the recruiting engine: Design and iterate on sourcing strategies, funnels, metrics, interview loops, and candidate experience.
• Create the face of Roger to talent: Tell the story authentically, represent the culture with integrity, and build trust with top-tier candidates.
• Embed in the talent ecosystem: Develop strong relationships across technical, healthcare, startup, and founder communities.
• Create scalable foundations: Build out our Ashby instance, document interview rubrics, and create onboarding processes that hold up as the team grows.

What We're Looking For

• 5+ years of full-cycle recruiting experience, ideally in an early-stage or high-growth startup environment.
• Proven ability to recruit technical talent, especially engineers, and earn trust with highly technical candidates.
• Experience hiring across both technical and operational roles.
• A relentless sourcer. You know how to hunt, not just manage inbound.
• A high ownership mentality and comfort operating in ambiguity.
• Strong communication and closing skills; able to clearly and compellingly represent Roger.
• Mission motivated. You care about healthcare and are excited to help build a company that makes a real difference for clinicians and patients.
