Founding Recruiter

The Work

• Models are optimized to follow the user — we need them to lead
• Persuade and adapt to a real person without going off-script
• A research-flavored problem the labs aren’t optimizing for
• What sounds like one agent is a swarm of specialists handing off mid-call
• We rewrite the agent’s context, tools, and instructions between turns
• All inside a few hundred milliseconds, every single turn
• Conversations aren’t functions that return true or false
• Turn-level evals on real moments, plus full end-to-end simulations
• Simulated callers, LLM-as-judge, and metrics per behavior
• People tell our agents genuinely personal things
• Security and privacy are design constraints, not a checkbox
• Bounded autonomy — unsafe actions simply don’t exist for the agent

The Team

A high-density team building directly with the founders out of San Francisco. We're still small, so every hire has an outsized impact on the product and how it's built.

Culture

A high-density team where the bar is high and everyone makes the people around them better.

• We’re open about numbers, plans, problems, and tradeoffs. Everyone knows where things stand
