Technical Recruiter

About the role

The talent landscape is the most competitive it's been in years. The bar for exceptional is higher, and the profile has changed. The tools available to find, evaluate, and close that talent are changing faster than most teams can keep up with. And the old playbook, the one honed at Meta, Google, or your last three startups, isn't keeping pace. We're not looking for someone who has recruiting figured out. We're looking for someone who recognizes that nobody does right now, and wants to be the person who figures it out.

Agentio is the AI-native programmatic infrastructure layer for creator media buying, backed by Benchmark, Forerunner, and Craft, raised $56M at a $340M valuation, and named to Forbes' Next Billion Dollar Startups. We're building a flywheel grounded in a first-party data moat: every campaign makes our pricing, matching, and measurement smarter, which drives better outcomes for brands and higher earnings for creators. In an industry that largely profits from replacing human labor, we've built our entire business on a different premise.

What You'll Do

• You'll own full-cycle technical recruiting, (sourcing through close), partnering directly with our CTO and Head of Talent to grow the engineering team defining our next phase.
• The real mandate is bigger: help us build a recruiting function that reflects the moment we're in, not the one we were in five years ago.
• Approach this work with a genuine spirit of experimentation, running hypotheses, learning from what doesn't work, and iterating without ego.
• Show up as an advisor, not an order-taker. The senior leaders you'll partner with are navigating hiring at scale for the first time. They're smart, they're bought in, and they need a recruiting partner who will push back when something isn't working, bring data and perspective to the table, and help them make better decisions, not just execute on what they ask for.
• Strong opinions, clearly reasoned and openly held, are a requirement here.
• Develop sourcing strategies that go beyond the obvious talent pools, and be willing to scrap and rebuild them when the data says to.
• Integrate AI tooling into your workflow in ways that actually move the needle: research, personalization, outreach, pipeline management.
• Partner with engineering leadership to sharpen how we assess talent, questioning which signals actually predict performance and which ones we've inherited out of habit.
• Run a candidate experience that's substantive and human, including the hard conversations.
• Track your own metrics and use them honestly, both to evolve your own approach and to influence how hiring managers think about process.

What We're Looking For

• A natural problem-solver who treats recruiting as a design challenge, not a process to execute.
• Someone who has looked critically at their own approach and rebuilt it, more than once.
• A person with genuine opinions about where recruiting is going, backed by experience and data, who isn't afraid to make the case for them.
• A recruiter who has advised senior stakeholders, not just supported them, and knows the difference.
• Someone energized by ambiguity and comfortable being wrong on the way to being right.

About Agentio

Agentio enables marketers to buy creator led ads as easily and scalably as Meta or Google ads—automating sourcing, pricing, contracting, delivery, and measurement—so work that took months now happens in minutes. We're on a mission to transform a $800B digital ad ecosystem by shifting digital ad spend into the hands of creators. That means better outcomes for marketers and enabling creators to live off their work—finally being paid in proportion to the value they create. That shift is accelerating: Unilever's CEO has said the company will move roughly half of its ad budget into social and creators—Unilever is among the world's largest advertisers, spending around $9–10B annually. As these dollars move, they need performance-grade pipes; Agentio is how those dollars flow to creators with the speed, control, and measurement marketers expect. We enable brands like Uber, DoorDash, and Bombas to run creator campaigns with the same rigor, control, and accountability as their core performance channels. Our AI-Native platform enables real-time content understanding at scale, simultaneous reasoning across hundreds of thousands of pieces of content, and intelligent allocation of multi-million dollar budgets. Our models apply more cross-platform performance signal than anyone else in the world, compounding with every campaign through a high-trust marketplace with accelerating network effects. The result is a flywheel: brands get the performance they've been chasing, creators get the intelligence and income they deserve, and Agentio becomes the infrastructure powering a generational shift in where media dollars flow.
