Job description

ABOUT THE ROLE

The company is looking for an exceptional Recruiter to help us find and land the most talented people in the world. This isn't a volume recruiting role. Success means closing the top 0.01% of talent across engineering and GTM operators. You'll own the full recruiting lifecycle, including building pipelines from scratch, developing deep relationships with exceptional candidates, and moving with urgency and precision.

RESPONSIBILITIES

• Own the full recruiting lifecycle end-to-end: from sourcing and outreach through offer negotiation and close for engineering and GTM roles.
• Build and maintain high-quality candidate pipelines from scratch, with a heavy emphasis on passive sourcing for profiles that don't respond to job postings.
• Develop and execute targeted outbound sourcing strategies to identify and engage the top 0.01% of talent across technical and operator roles.
• Serve as a compelling brand ambassador for company in every candidate interaction, leaving a strong impression of the company regardless of outcome.
• Partner closely with founders and hiring managers to deeply understand role requirements, team culture, and what exceptional looks like for each position.
• Move candidates through the process with urgency and precision, minimizing friction while maintaining a high-quality experience at every touchpoint.
• Track and manage pipeline activity and recruiting metrics in Ashby, using data to continuously improve sourcing effectiveness and conversion rates.
• Stay current on the AI/ML talent landscape, including key researchers, engineers, and operators worth tracking over time.
• Contribute to the development of company's employer brand and recruiting infrastructure as the company scales.

YOU MAY BE A FIT IF

• You have 6+ years recruiting AI/ML and software engineering talent, ideally at a research-driven or deep tech company
• You have experience recruiting in a fast-moving, early-stage environment where roles are often being defined in real time
• You're comfortable building pipelines from scratch for hard-to-find profiles that don't respond to job postings
• You have strong judgment on what great looks like for technical roles and the conviction to hold the bar even when it's hard
• You have familiarity with modern recruiting tools including Ashby, LinkedIn Recruiter, Gem, and AI-enabled sourcing tools
• People come away from talking to you with a strong impression of the company, whatever the outcome

STRONG CANDIDATES MAY ALSO

• Have enough technical fluency to have a real conversation with an engineer. You don't need to code, but you understand what they do.
• Have prior experience at a research-driven or deep tech company specifically (vs. broader tech).
• Have an existing network of passive AI/ML and engineering talent you’ve built relationships with over time.
• Have experience contributing to or building a recruiting function from the ground up at an early-stage company.

LOCATION

This role is based in New York City. The company is an in-person company and during this exciting period of hypergrowth, we work 6 days a week in office. Candidates are expected to be located within the New York City metropolitan area or open to relocation.

BENEFITS

We take care of our people. In addition to a competitive base salary and equity participation, we offer comprehensive medical, vision, and dental coverage, visa sponsorship and relocation support, and various other benefits and perks.
