About the roleYou'll be a strategic partner to engineering leaders, not an order-taker. You'll run searches for deeply technical, often hard-to-fill roles - silicon DV, formal verification, RTL/PD, ML compilers - and build the process, pipeline, and employer brand that let us hire exceptional people quickly and raise the bar as we scale.
What you'll do- Own full-cycle recruiting for senior and specialized technical roles across hardware and software
- Partner closely with hiring managers and executives to scope roles, calibrate on talent, and drive structured, efficient interview processes
- Build and nurture pipelines for niche silicon and systems talent through proactive sourcing and relationship-building
- Manage candidates through Greenhouse with rigor - keeping pipelines clean, data accurate, and stages moving
- Deliver an outstanding candidate experience and represent DensityAI's mission and technical brand to the market
- Navigate work-authorization and ITAR/export-control considerations on regulated roles, partnering with our immigration and legal support
What we're looking for- 6+ years of full-cycle recruiting experience, with a strong track record hiring senior/technical talent
- Demonstrated success filling hard, specialized engineering roles; ideally in semiconductors, hardware, deep tech, or infrastructure software
- Hands-on sourcing expertise (LinkedIn Recruiter, Boolean, referrals, networks) for passive, high-demand candidates
- Fluency with an ATS, Greenhouse strongly preferred
- Strong sense of urgency balanced with a high bar for candidate quality and experience
- (Optional) Experience recruiting in a startup or high-growth environment, building process from the ground up
