Job description

Defining the future of work & living globally

Epoch AI is looking for a Talent Acquisition Coordinator to keep our hiring accurate, organized, and responsive as we grow.

About the Role

We are looking for a Talent Acquisition Coordinator to own the administrative and data backbone of hiring at Epoch. You will report to the Head of People and work alongside our recruiters, hiring managers, and our People Operations and Finance teams.

Epoch has grown from roughly 20 people to 70 during 2026, with staff employed across North and South America and Europe. That pace produces a large volume of candidates, interviews, work tests, and records, and the quality of our hiring decisions depends on that volume being handled carefully. Much of your first year will go to making our applicant tracking system reliable, our reporting usable, and our candidate experience consistent.

The role covers data hygiene and reporting in our applicant tracking system, candidate communications, administration of work tests and skills assessments, and administrative support to recruiters as needed. As you settle in, you will have the opportunity to take on application review and talent sourcing, which makes this a strong fit for someone who wants to move into a recruiter role over time.

Recruiting volume ebbs and flows. When hiring slows, you will support the People Operations team as the organization's needs shift, which will give you exposure to the wider employee lifecycle.

Practicalities

• Location: Global Remote
• Work Hours: Flexible, with availability required from 8:30AM - 10:00 AM PST/ 5:30PM - 7:00PM CET
• Travel Requirement: Employees are expected to attend our 3 in-person retreats each year
• Compensation: Annual salary of $78k - $95k USD. Exact salary will reflect experience and location. Salaries are not restricted to USD; contracts and payments are usually in local currencies, converted at one-year average exchange rates
• Comprehensive health insurance program, including supplemental benefits specific to a local country, as available and mandated by local law
• Life insurance and retirement contributions plan, if applicable in your country
• Unlimited PTO with a recommend minimum of 30 days off per year (including public local holidays and vacation time)
• Unlimited personal and sick leave
• Parental leave — up to 4 months of paid leave for permanent staff with at least 12 months of tenure, prorated for those with less tenure, to be taken within the first year after a child’s birth or adoption
• A flexible and generous expense policy for you to spend on equipment and a large range of productivity tools or learning/development opportunities you might find valuable, subject to regulations and manager approval.
• Other benefits as allowed at the discretion of Epoch AI’s leadership and local availability
