Recruiter

About the Role

This is a full-cycle recruiting role at a lean, high-caliber AI/ML company where every hire genuinely shapes the company's trajectory. You'll work directly alongside founders to identify and land exceptional engineers and GTM leaders, operating as the cornerstone of a deliberately small, high-trust team.

What You'll Do

• Own end-to-end recruiting across both technical (engineering, product) and GTM roles.

• Build and optimize recruiting operations and tooling, automating workflows wherever possible.

• Partner closely with founders and team leads to define role requirements, evaluation criteria, and interview processes.

• Develop a deep understanding of a technical AI product to pitch candidates credibly and compellingly.

• Source top candidates through high-signal and unconventional channels.

• Evaluate candidates using portfolios and projects — not just resumes.

• Support onboarding and new hire ramp-up.

• Help define and run performance review processes, leveling, and feedback systems.

What We're Looking For

• 3+ years of full-cycle recruiting experience across engineering, product, and GTM roles — this is a dealbreaker requirement.

• Proven ability to understand and communicate complex technical concepts to credibly engage with engineering and product candidates.

• Early-stage startup experience with demonstrated ability to work independently and move fast.

• Experience building and optimizing recruiting ops, including workflow automation.

• Strong instincts for talent quality and bar-setting, including evaluating non-traditional candidate profiles.

• Track record of creative, high-signal sourcing strategies.

• Familiarity with recruiting tools such as Ashby, Juicebox, or Clay.

• Experience with AI-assisted or "vibe coding" approaches to automate recruiting workflows.

• Exposure to or ownership of People Ops/HR functions such as onboarding, performance reviews, and leveling.
