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.

What You'll Do

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

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

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

• Develop a strong working knowledge of the product to credibly pitch technical candidates.

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

• Screen candidates for technical competence, product intuition, and culture fit.

• Support onboarding and new hire ramp for incoming team members.

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

What We're Looking For

• 3 or more years of full-cycle recruiting experience covering technical (engineering, product) and GTM roles.

• 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.

• Experience using AI tools or vibe coding to automate recruiting workflows.

• Exposure to or ownership of people operations functions such as onboarding, performance reviews, and leveling.
