  • Build high-quality outbound sourcing pipelines for top engineering talent across AI, infrastructure, and full-stack roles
  • Partner directly with founders and hiring managers on role requirements, interview loops, and hiring strategy
  • Create and iterate on recruiting sequences, workflows, and candidate experience from scratch
  • Track and improve recruiting funnel metrics including response rates, pass-through rates, and time to hire
Requirements
✔ Required
  • 1–4 years of experience in technical recruiting for startups
  • Experience with Ashby or similar ATS
  • Outbound sourcing pipeline building from scratch
  • Can work in office 5 days/week
  • Not seeking a 9-to-5; comfortable with startup hours
★ Must-Have
  • 1+ year recruiting for engineering/technical roles at a startup or an agency working with startups, OR former founder pivoting to recruiting
👍 Nice to Have
  • Experience at an AI company or recruiting AI/ML talent
