Recruiter

About the Role

This is a full-cycle recruiting role at a small, fast-moving AI/ML startup where every hire meaningfully shapes the company. You'll own talent acquisition end-to-end across technical and GTM functions, working directly alongside founders to bring in exceptional engineers and go-to-market leaders.

What You'll Do

• Own end-to-end recruiting across engineering, product, and GTM roles.

• Build and optimize recruiting operations and tooling, automating workflows wherever possible.

• Partner with founders and team leads to define role requirements, evaluation criteria, and interview processes.

• Develop a strong understanding of a technical AI product to pitch and engage candidates credibly.

• Source top candidates through high-signal and unconventional channels.

• Screen candidates for both technical competence and product/market intuition, using portfolios and projects alongside resumes.

• Support new hire onboarding and ramp.

• Help define and run performance review processes, leveling, and feedback systems.

What We're Looking For

• 3+ years of experience as a full-cycle recruiter owning both technical (engineering, product) and GTM hiring.

• Demonstrated ability to understand and communicate complex technical concepts well enough to credibly screen engineering and product candidates.

• Experience working in an early-stage startup environment with a high degree of autonomy.

• Track record of building and optimizing recruiting ops, including workflow automation.

• Strong instincts for talent quality and experience evaluating non-traditional candidate profiles.

• Creative sourcing strategies and comfort working with high-signal, unconventional pipelines.

• Familiarity with modern recruiting tools such as Ashby, Juicebox, or Clay.

• Experience with AI-assisted workflow automation or "vibe coding" to streamline recruiting processes.

• Exposure to or ownership of People Operations functions (e.g., onboarding, performance reviews, leveling).
