- Own end-to-end recruiting operations, including building and optimizing systems, tooling, and automated workflows in partnership with the Chief of Staff.
- Host and represent the company at community and industry events, collaborating with the marketing function on content and activations.

- Proven ability to run end-to-end recruiting processes and build recruiting operations, tooling, and automated workflows.
- Demonstrated success finding, connecting with, and engaging technical talent or key individuals in AI, ML, or adjacent communities.
- Strong existing network within RL research, RL engineering, or the broader startup ecosystem.
- Excellent communication skills - well-spoken, extraverted, and skilled at reading people in high-context situations.
- Ability to understand and clearly explain complex technical products related to frontier AI, agents, and training data.
- Experience defining company values and developing onboarding programs for new hires.
- Experience hosting or organizing community and industry events and creating marketing or community content.
