We’re assembling a team of world-class engineers and business minds who believe in this mission. We’re hiring problem-solvers with the skills and desire to build a business that leaves a fingerprint on civilization.

Groq delivers fast, efficient AI inference. Our LPU-based system powers GroqCloud, giving businesses and developers the speed and scale they need. Headquartered in Silicon Valley, we are on a mission to make high performance AI compute more accessible and affordable. When real-time AI is within reach, anything is possible. Build fast.

Global Head of Talent Acquisition

Mission:

Enable Groq to scale by assembling the most talent dense team on the planet.

Responsibilities & Opportunities in this Role:

• Groq takes a sizable share of the AI inference market supported by a high performing talent team.
• Groq leaders hire exceptional talent without exception, through a process that is predictive of success at Groq.
• The talent acquisition team operates as business partners, delivering with pace and expertise.
• Innovation throughout the hiring lifecycle, including a differentiated candidate experience that enables Groq to win.

Ideal Candidates Have/Are:

• Can change altitude easily: We’re going from zero to big. You have the agility and desire to context switch several times a day from thinking strategically at 30,000’ to obsessing over the details and doing the gritty hard work 3” from the ground.
• Have deep expertise: You love your craft. You have a mastery in identifying and hiring exceptional talent, and in coaching others in how to do so too.
• Innovate and get stuff done: You innovate naturally, not in the chasing shiny things way, but in the delivering things that truly differentiate, help teams win, and drive efficiency. You’ll have freedom and a platform to do something extraordinary if you love to innovate.
• Have scaled: You understand scale, but more importantly you understand scaling - you have direct experience of leading through hypergrowth. You’ve built and led high performing teams.
• Build trust through words and actions: You communicate well, have a strong moral compass, set high standards for yourself and others, take accountability, hold others accountable, and will fight for a quality outcome - be that a quality hire, a quality decision, or knowing when to say no. Most importantly you walk the talk.
• Have a deep curiosity and ability to learn: This includes adapting and changing your behaviors. You keep yourself grounded and energized, whilst working with sustained intensity and pace.
• Are kind and real: You’re authentic and partner without ego. It’s likely you have an inner conviction that helps you be comfortable being uncomfortable.

Attributes of a Groqster:

• Humility - Egos are checked at the door.
• Collaborative & Team Savvy - We make up the smartest person in the room, together.
• Growth & Giver Mindset - Learn it all versus know it all, we share knowledge generously.
• Curious & Innovative - Take a creative approach to projects, problems, and design.
• Passion, Grit, & Boldness - No limit thinking, fueling informed risk taking.

If this sounds like you, we’d love to hear from you!
