Who We Are

Nuro believes self-driving vehicles are the most immediate and profound opportunity for AI to drive positive change in the physical world. Safer streets, more time for what matters, and easier access to the world around us, that’s why we’re building a universal autonomy platform: self-driving for all roads and all rides. Founded in 2016, Nuro is a physical AI company developing Level 4 autonomous driving technology for a wide range of vehicles, use cases, and markets. Powered by the Nuro Driver™, our universal autonomy platform enables the global mobility ecosystem to deploy autonomy at scale, from robotaxis and logistics fleets to personal vehicles. With years of real-world deployment experience and a flexible, partner-led business model, Nuro is working toward a future where millions of autonomous vehicles powered by our technology help make everyday life safer, easier, and more connected. Nuro has raised over $2B in capital from Uber, NVIDIA, Google, Softbank, Fidelity, T. Rowe Price, and other leading investors.

About The Role

This Recruiting team hires world-class talent across Machine Learning, Data Infrastructure, Autonomy, and Systems Engineering. In this role, you'll own full-cycle recruiting for these functions and partner directly with engineering leaders to build the teams driving Nuro's AI-first strategy.

About The Work

• Own full-cycle technical recruiting: sourcing strategy, pipeline generation, interview coordination, and offer negotiation/closing.
• Partner with engineering leaders across Autonomy, Ml Research, Systems Engineering and Software Engineering to define role scopes, build interview plans, and set evaluation criteria.
• Track recruiting metrics (time-to-fill, pipeline conversion, source effectiveness) and use them to identify bottlenecks and improve processes.
• Run structured technical and behavioral evaluations in partnership with hiring panels to ensure consistent, defensible hiring decisions.
• Build and maintain sourcing pipelines using tools such as LinkedIn Recruiter, GitHub, and outbound sourcing platforms; help evaluate and implement new recruiting tools/workflows.

About You

• In-house technical recruiting experience at talent dense technology companies, with at least 2 years recruiting for ML, robotics, or infrastructure engineering roles.
• Demonstrated experience building candidate pipelines through direct/outbound sourcing (not solely inbound or agency-sourced).
• Experience partnering directly with engineering directors/VPs on hiring strategy and role definition.
• Experience managing 10+ concurrent open searches.
• Working knowledge of an ATS (Greenhouse, Lever, or similar) for pipeline tracking and reporting.
• Practical fluency with AI-powered recruiting tools.

Bonus Points

• Recruiting experience specific to AI/ML research, autonomy, or robotics engineering roles.
• Experience recruiting for director-level or above engineering leadership roles.
• Direct experience with Greenhouse ATS.
