Job Summary
As we scale, we’re looking for a Technical Recruiter to build and own some of the most high-leverage, relationship-driven parts of our recruiting function. This is a rare opportunity to shape the future of a company poised to become the next NVIDIA.


To maintain our competitive edge as we approach production, we’re expanding our team with a data-driven and inventive recruiter. You’ll work closely with hiring managers, engineers, and the broader recruiting team to identify, engage, and hire world-class technical talent.


This role is ideal for someone who thrives in fast-paced, high-talent-density environments and loves the hunt—especially when it means going beyond traditional sourcing channels.

• Build strong partnerships with hiring managers and advocate for both candidates and company needs
• Attend AI meetups, technical conferences, and community events to proactively build pipelines
• Source candidates in unconventional places—e.g., GitHub repos, preprint authors on arXiv, contributors to Apache mailing lists, or insightful Twitter threads
• Facilitate structured interview loops, track candidate performance, and lead debriefs alongside hiring managers and leadership
• Manage offers and close processes in collaboration...
