Alex is the AI recruiter for hiring great people. Backed by Y Combinator.
About the role
Alex is an AI recruiter. Alex screens and interviews candidates over voice — on the web and over the phone — and it works inside the systems companies already recruit with: their applicant tracking system, their requisitions, their hiring process. Enterprises and staffing firms use it to run interviews at a volume they otherwise couldn't.
What they're looking for
- Real engineering ability. This role reads code, writes code, and ships changes. It is not a technical-adjacent role
- Comfort working inside someone else's system with incomplete documentation. Much of this job is finding out what a third-party API actually does, as opposed to what its docs claim
- Debugging instinct — the reflex to go get the evidence rather than reason from the symptom
- Direct customer contact without a buffer. You'll run your own working sessions and say hard things clearly
- Strong writing. A large fraction of the output of this role is a clear written explanation

Forward-Deployed Engineers are the technical owners of every Alex deployment. When a customer signs, FDEs are the people who make Alex work inside their systems and their process — and keep it working. It is the most end-to-end engineering role at the company: you design the solution, build it, integrate it, ship it to production, and own it afterwards.
Design and build how a customer uses Alex. Turn a hiring process described in a meeting into workflows that actually run — triggers, filters, interview guides, and the actions we take back in their ATS. When a customer needs something their setup doesn't do yet, you drive it: design, build, test, roll out, verify.
Own the integration surface. We integrate with roughly two dozen applicant tracking systems, some directly and some through a unified API partner. You'll build new integrations, maintain...
