Job description

The role asks for someone to own and support hiring for strategic US roles, especially in AI and ML infrastructure, software engineering, and product leadership. A strong candidate brings at least five years of technical recruiting experience in the US tech ecosystem, with a real network in the Bay Area AI community. They should be comfortable talking with senior engineers and founders about technical topics and be willing to help with broader people and company building tasks as the US team grows.

How it fits the AI era

AI changes the work by making it easier to find and contact candidates at scale, so the human side of building trust and judging fit becomes more important. This role stays human because it depends on understanding what founders actually need, having credible technical conversations, and developing long term relationships in the AI community. The talent partner also helps the company become known in the US AI ecosystem, which is a relationship driven task that AI cannot replace.

How it builds AI experience

The role offers direct exposure to AI infrastructure topics like inference, GPUs, and distributed systems through conversations with technical candidates and hiring leaders. Building AI experience means learning the language of the company's products and the US AI community, and using that knowledge to assess and attract technical talent. There is also a chance to gain experience in how an international AI company establishes its US presence.

Worth showing

• US technical recruiting
• Bay Area AI network
• Startup ownership mindset
• Technical candidate conversations
