About the role

As a GTM Recruiter at Exa, you’ll work directly with the founders and leadership team to scale our company. This isn’t a standard recruiting job—you’ll be recruiting in the age of AI , using in-house agentic systems built on top of our own search engine to supercharge the process. You’ll not only help build our early, world-class GTM team, but also design the recruiting systems that let us scale rapidly. Own the GTM recruiting cycle end-to-end: sourcing, outreach, interviews, and closing

What they're looking for

  • 5+ years of experience recruiting for GTM roles in startups or high-growth tech companies
  • Familiarity with SF startup culture—you know how to identify and attract top 1% startup talent
  • Strong communication skills—you can tell a compelling story and sell a big vision
  • A builder mindset—you want to design recruiting systems, not just run them
  • Comfort in a fast-moving, high-growth startup environment
  • Technical literacy (bonus if you can code or have a technical background). You’re expected to communicate our ongoing engineering projects to semi-technical candidates

Exa is building a search engine for the AI era. Our Search API currently powers Agents, Fortune 500s and AI labs as we transform an industry that hasn’t been disrupted since the 90s. We're a largely SF-based team of ~100 from Harvard, MIT, Meta, Google Research, ex-founders & dropouts alike.

We are rapidly building the most intelligent search engine in history. We’re high agency, low-ego, and united by the feeling that this is one of the last problems worth getting right.

Now, we’re looking for a GTM Recruiter to help build our Exa family.
