Job description

Neuralk-AI is looking for an experienced Talent Acquisition Partner (full-time or freelance) to build and scale our hiring engine across both technical and business roles.

You will own the entire recruitment strategy - from sourcing the rarest technical talent to designing structured processes, while partnering closely with the founders and hiring managers.

This is a pivotal role at the heart of our growth.

Neuralk is a deep-tech company building the next generation of Foundation Models for Data Science. Our mission is to build the predictive layer for businesses, transforming data science from a series of one-off initiatives, stitched together across silos, overly bespoke, and dependent on a handful of specialists, into a durable capability: a scalable predictive infrastructure that continuously learns from an organization’s data and powers decisions across the enterprise.

Our product is a Data Science agent, powered by our Foundation Models, that assists data scientists throughout their workflow, from problem framing to robust, production-ready models. We focus on the hardest and most common data problems in companies: structured datasets describing customers, operations, risks or financial activity.

As an early-stage, well-funded AI startup, Neuralk builds on state-of-the-art research to solve concrete business challenges. We value clarity over complexity, strong fundamentals over hype, and fast iteration grounded in rigorous engineering. Our ambition is to redefine how predictive AI is built and used in organizations, at scale.

Joining Neuralk means working hard in a fast-moving, research-driven environment, with a high level of ownership and the opportunity to shape a core product at the intersection of machine learning, engineering and real-world impact.

Mission Highlights

As our Talent Acquisition Partner, you will:

• Own recruitment across ML/AI, software engineering, Forward Deployed Engineering, and business roles (Sales, DevRel, Customer).
• Design & optimize best-in-class hiring processes, evaluation frameworks, and tooling..
• Source and attract rare profiles in highly competitive markets — and convert them.
• Act as a strategic partner to founders and hiring managers on priorities, trade-offs, and long-term org design.
• Strengthen Neuralk's talent brand, ensuring clarity, rigor, and excellence at every candidate

This role is perfect for someone who thrives in both execution and strategy, and who wants to leave a structural mark on how a deeptech company scales.

Role & Responsibilities

End-to-end hiring

• Own the recruitment lifecycle for technical (ML/AI, Software, FDE) and business roles
• Craft sharp job descriptions and structured scorecards
• Run fast, high-quality processes with uncompromising standards.

Sourcing & talent attraction

• Identify, engage, and close top 1-5% candidates.
• Build and nurture pipelines for high-impact, recurring roles.
• Write thoughtful, personalized outreach that resonates with technical talent.

End-to-end hiring execution

• Define interview loops, evaluation methods, documentation, and ATS usage
• Track hiring metrics, diagnose bottlenecks, and improve continuously
• Ensure consistency and quality across roles and interviewers

Business partnering

• Advise founders and hiring managers on hiring strategy and sequencing.
• Train teams on interviewing best practices and candidate evaluation
• Bring market intelligence and challenge with tact and clarity.

Candidate experience & employer brand

• Represent Neuralk authentically and professionally at every touchpoint
• Deliver a warm, transparent, and fast candidate journey.
• Contribute to employer branding efforts (content, events, communities)
