## About the role

Foundry's hardest hires are not engineers who answered a job post. They are roboticists and AI/ML researchers whose best work is a paper, a benchmark, or a lab demo — people who are not on the market, do not read job descriptions, and will only take a call from someone who understood what they actually built. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

## What they're looking for

- 8+ years of technical recruiting, including real time hiring research scientists or research engineers in robotics, AI/ML, autonomy, or an adjacent field
- You read the papers. You can explain what a candidate's work actually contributed, and a researcher would not wince at your summary
- You know the landscape — the labs, the advisors, the conferences, and how people move between them
- You have built faculty and lab relationships that produced hires, not just campus visits
- You are genuinely AI-efficient. You have built or run tooling that multiplied your own sourcing output, and you can walk us through your stack
- You are deeply interested in the technology itself. If what you want is a clean req and a target close date, this is the wrong seat
