Job description

The role

We're looking for a Recruiting Engineer to help our recruiting team move faster.

This is a great entry point for someone who wants to learn how a high-growth startup actually works. You'll work across roles spanning Sales, Engineering, AI, Operations, Marketing, and leadership, getting exposure to different teams, levels, and problems across the business.

You’ll source exceptional people, help run candidate onsites, experiment with new recruiting tools, improve how we work, and jump into whatever will help us hire faster.

You’ll also build an incredible network along the way, meeting talented operators, engineers, salespeople, executives, and founders across the AI ecosystem.

What You’ll Do

• Find and engage great candidates across technical and non-technical roles
• Research companies, industries, and talent markets
• Help run candidate interviews and onsite experiences
• Use AI, automation, and recruiting tools to make the team faster
• Keep recruiting processes organized and moving
• Work on roles across different teams and levels of seniority
• Jump into new projects wherever you can create leverage

Why this role

This is a chance to get a front-row seat to building a high-growth AI company.

You’ll learn how different parts of a startup operate, work directly with people across the business, develop strong judgment around talent, and build a network that would normally take years to develop.

If you're early in your career, ambitious, curious, and not quite sure which part of the startup world you want to build your career in yet, this is a pretty great place to start.

Why Encord

• Base salary, quarterly commission, and equity
• Significant ownership and growth as Encord scales
• Direct partnership with senior leaders on critical hiring priorities
• 4 days/week in our San Francisco (FiDi) office
• Flexible PTO + 18 paid vacation days and federal holidays
• Annual learning & development budget
• Comprehensive health, dental, and vision coverage
• U.S. and international travel opportunities
• Bi-annual offsites, twice-weekly team lunches, and monthly socials
