Job description

About Massed Compute

Massed Compute is building a modern GPU cloud platform for AI and high-performance compute workloads. Customers choose us when they need high-performance infrastructure with more flexibility, visibility, and support than they get from traditional options. Our work sits at the intersection of AI infrastructure, product design, systems thinking, and customer obsession.

We're hiring a contract recruiting lead to build the recruiting function and kickstart our talent acquisition engine. We're looking for a highly motivated and organized individual to take our nascent talent acquisition function to the next level.

You will:

• Own the recruiting pipeline end to end across every open requisition, from first application to offer stage

• Design and implement role-specific interview loops in Ashby including stages, coverage grids, feedback forms

• Partner directly with hiring managers to keep every open req moving toward a decision

• Build highly efficient screening workflows using AI to filter and review resumes

• Flag configuration and process defects the moment you find them rather than working around them

• Coordinate scheduling and communication across candidates, interviewers, and hiring managers

• Document the system you build so it survives your engagement

You should apply if:

• You've built or rebuilt a recruiting function from a messy or absent state

• You're passionate about building and want

• You've worked inside and are comfortable navigating Ashby or a comparable modern ATS

• You're comfortable owning both the plumbing (ATS configuration, rubric design) and the people work (candidate communication, interviewer calibration)

• You have experience sourcing and screening candidates for technical roles

This role is not:

• Only a sourcing-only or top-of-funnel role - you own the full loop through to offer

• A role where someone else has already built the process and you're just executing it

• A permanent seat - this is a defined 6-month engagement with an explicit handoff

Compensation for this role is competitive and discussed directly with candidates during the process.

Equal Opportunity

Massed Compute is an equal opportunity employer. We consider all qualified applicants without regard to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, age, disability, genetic information, veteran status, or any other characteristic protected by law.
