  • Proven track record building and leading technical recruiting for a high-growth technology company while remaining hands-on with critical searches.

  • Experience building, managing and raising the performance of technical recruiting teams.

  • Ability to work directly with founders and engineering leaders, challenge assumptions and translate company priorities into executable hiring plans.

  • Strong judgement on talent, high execution speed and clear accountability for hiring outcomes.

Nice to Have

  • Direct experience recruiting AI researchers, ML engineers, applied AI engineers and senior engineering leaders.

  • Strong existing networks across global AI and engineering communities.
