Job Requirements
- 3+ years of full-cycle technical recruiting experience with a meaningful focus on AI/ML, research, or engineering roles
- You have a track record of sourcing and closing niche technical talent in highly competitive markets
- You have enough technical fluency in AI/ML to screen research candidates credibly: you understand the difference between someone who has trained models and someone who has used APIs, and you can assess publication records and research depth
- You are comfortable building proactive sourcing strategies and cultivating long-term candidate relationships, not just filling open roles
- You have familiarity with the AI/ML research community: key conferences, top labs, publication venues, and how researchers evaluate opportunities
- You have strong interpersonal skills and the ability to build trust with researchers and scientists who are skeptical of recruiting outreach
- You have working knowledge of startup compensation structures, including equity, vesting, and how to position offers competitively against well-funded AI labs
- You are comfortable working in a stealth environment where you cannot rely on brand recognition and must sell on substance
Benefits
- We encourage new and different ideas, creativity and contrarian thinking
- Healthy feedback focused environment to help you strive - leadership will have high expectations, regularly share constructive feedback, support you and help you grow, and welcome receiving feedback and ideas from you
- You own your day-to-day management. What we care about is that we all hit our milestones
