Job description

Who is Litmus

Litmus is building the data foundation that powers industrial AI.

AI doesn’t work without real-world, contextualized data - Litmus makes that data usable. As AI adoption accelerates, most industrial environments still can’t access or use their operational data. We solve that gap.

We’re a growth-stage software company helping manufacturers access, structure, and use real-time data from machines, systems, and sensors at the edge. Our platform sits at the intersection of edge computing, AI, and industrial operations, enabling some of the world’s largest companies to run operations in real time, reduce downtime, and optimize production.

Backed by leading investors and trusted by global manufacturers and partners like Google, Microsoft, Dell, Oracle, and Mitsubishi, Litmus is powering the shift toward software-defined manufacturing.

Why join Litmus

Build the infrastructure that makes industrial AI possible

AI is moving beyond the cloud and into the physical world. At Litmus, you’ll build the infrastructure that enables real-time data to power AI and machine learning systems in production environments.

Work on problems where software meets the real world

Most AI systems fail without access to real-world data. You’ll build the layer that makes them viable in production. We solve challenges at the intersection of distributed systems, real-time data, and industrial constraints — where reliability, scale, and performance are non-negotiable.

Have real impact, fast

You’ll work on systems used by real customers in production, with direct impact on product and company trajectory. As a scaling company, we move quickly. You’ll have ownership, visibility, and the ability to shape both product and company as we scale.

Join a high-performance team

We’re building a team that holds a high bar and pushes each other to improve. You’ll work alongside experienced operators, engineers, and leaders who have done this before and are building again at scale. We hire people who take ownership, move quickly, and care about outcomes. No passengers.

Our culture

At Litmus, the team is collaborative, curious, and low ego. People are scrappy, take ownership, and look for ways to make an impact. We value empathy just as much as execution, whether that’s in how we build, how we communicate, or how we support each other.

We’re a growing company, so things move quickly and not everything is perfectly defined. If you enjoy figuring things out, working closely with others, and making steady progress, you’ll do well here.

About the Role

We’re hiring a Recruiter in Toronto to join our new global Talent team. The team is brand new and growing across Europe, Toronto, and India, and you’ll be the recruiter focused on hiring in North American time zones. You’ll run full-cycle searches across both technical and go-to-market roles, partnering closely with hiring managers in engineering, product, data and AI, sales, marketing, and customer success as we scale.

In your first year, you’ll build strong pipelines across technical and GTM roles, become a trusted partner to hiring managers, and help shape how the Talent team works as it grows. We’re looking for someone who can handle high-volume hiring in a fast-paced startup environment.

What You’ll Do

• Own full-cycle recruiting for roles based in North American time zones, from role kick-off through offer close

• Manage a high volume of open roles at once across technical and GTM functions

• Source and engage active and passive candidates, and build pipelines for current and future roles

• Partner with hiring managers to define role requirements, build scorecards, and run structured interview processes

• Work closely with the Talent team in Europe and India to share best practices and build consistent, scalable processes

• Use AI tools and automation to improve sourcing, screening, and recruiting workflows

• Manage recruiting workflows in Ashby, ensuring clean data, accurate pipeline reporting, and a consistent candidate experience

• Contribute to the Litmus employer brand and candidate value proposition

• Drive offer management and coordinate closely with People Ops on pre-hire steps and handoffs

• Track and report on recruiting metrics (time-to-fill, pipeline health, source effectiveness) and share market insights with hiring managers and leadership

What You’ll Bring

Must Have

• 5+ years of full-cycle recruiting experience, including time at a high-growth startup or scale-up

• Experience managing high-volume hiring in a startup environment

• Strong track record hiring for both technical roles (engineering, data, AI/ML, product) and GTM roles (sales, marketing, customer success)

• Deep sourcing skills and experience engaging passive candidates

• Experience hiring in North America (Canada and/or US)

• Hands-on experience with Ashby as your primary ATS

• Experience using AI tools and recruiting automation to improve efficiency and output

• Ability to influence and build trust with hiring managers

• Strong communication, interviewing, and candidate assessment skills

• Self-directed and organized, comfortable working in a fast-moving environment where not everything is defined yet

Nice to Have

• Background in B2B SaaS, Industrial Technology, Manufacturing Technology, IoT, or AI companies

• Experience as part of a distributed or global recruiting team

• Experience supporting senior or leadership-level searches
