Job description

Founding Recruiter

At FurtherAI, we’re building the next generation of AI agents for the insurance industry—a trillion-dollar market primed for transformation. Having raised over $30M from premier investors (Andreessen Horowitz, YC, Nexus, South Park Commons, Converge) and experiencing 10x revenue growth this year, we’re set for rapid expansion. Our elite team, with backgrounds from Apple, Microsoft, Google, Amazon, and multiple YC alumni, is passionate about reshaping one of the world’s foundational industries.

Why Join Us

• Rocketship Growth: Post-PMF, with revenue and team growing at an exceptional pace.
• Elite Team: Collaborate with a world‑class group of engineers and founders with deep technical and industry experience.
• Massive Market Impact: Insurance is the backbone of global commerce, and your work will directly shape the future of this industry.
• Founder’s Mindset: An ideal environment if you thrive with high ownership, autonomy, and the opportunity to define recruiting strategies from scratch.

What You’ll Do

• Own end‑to‑end recruiting—source, engage, and close world‑class engineers, operators, and product leaders.
• Partner closely with founders and executives to identify staffing needs and define hiring processes.
• Design and refine our recruiting funnel, metrics, and candidate experience.
• Represent FurtherAI’s vision and culture to prospective candidates and the broader talent market.
• Build and nurture strong relationships within technical and entrepreneurial communities.
• Help establish and document recruiting best practices, evaluation rubrics, and onboarding workflows as our first recruiting hire.

What We’re Looking For

• 3+ years full‑cycle recruiting experience at high‑growth startups or tech companies.
• Experience hiring for technical (engineering, product) as well as operational roles.
• You thrive in fast‑paced, high‑ownership environments and are passionate about scaling early‑stage teams.
• Proven ability to communicate effectively, represent company culture, and close top‑tier talent.
• Bonus: Background working with founders or on a founding hiring team; B2B SaaS recruiting experience.
• Above all: Drive, grit, and ownership. We’re looking for someone who wants to build something transformative with us.

At FurtherAI, we set a high bar. We’re not looking for someone who just wants a job—we’re looking for someone who wants to build something transformative. If you excel in high‑growth environments, crave autonomy, and are excited to own recruiting from the ground up, you’ll love it here.
