About the Role

This is a full-cycle recruiting role at a lean, high-caliber AI/ML infrastructure company where every hire meaningfully shapes the team. You will work directly with founders to identify and bring on exceptional engineers and go-to-market leaders, while also helping build the people operations foundation from the ground up.
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 deep understanding of the product to credibly pitch technical candidates.
  • Source top candidates through high-signal and unconventional channels.
  • Screen candidates for both technical competence and product/market intuition.
  • Support onboarding and new hire ramp-up.
  • Help define and run performance review processes, leveling frameworks, and feedback systems.
What We're Looking For
  • 3+ years of full-cycle recruiting experience covering engineering, product, and GTM roles.
  • Demonstrated ability to understand and communicate complex technical concepts when engaging with engineering and product candidates.
  • Hands-on experience at an early-stage startup, comfortable working independently in fast-moving environments.
  • Experience building and optimizing recruiting ops, including workflow automation.
  • Strong instincts for talent quality and a track record of creative sourcing strategies.
  • Comfort evaluating candidates through portfolios and projects, not just resumes, including non-traditional profiles.
  • Familiarity with modern recruiting tools such as Ashby, Juicebox, or Clay.
  • Experience using AI or vibe coding to automate recruiting workflows.
  • Exposure to or ownership of people ops functions such as onboarding, performance reviews, and leveling.
