Recruiter

About the role

This is a full-cycle recruiting role at a small, fast-moving AI/ML infrastructure company where every hire directly shapes the team and product. You will work closely with founders and researchers to bring on exceptional engineers and go-to-market leaders, while also helping build the people operations foundation from the ground up. The bar is high, the team is intentionally lean, and your judgment will matter enormously.

Requirements

• Demonstrated experience working in an early-stage startup environment.
• Proven ability to build and optimize recruiting ops and automate workflows.
• Track record of creative, high-signal sourcing strategies beyond standard job boards.
• Comfort evaluating candidates via portfolios and projects, not just resumes, including non-traditional profiles.
• Ability to understand and communicate technical concepts credibly with engineering candidates.
• Strong organizational skills and experience managing multiple open roles and pipelines simultaneously.
• Familiarity with modern recruiting tools such as Ashby, Juicebox, or Clay.
