## About the role

We're hiring a Senior Technical Recruiter to build our entire talent acquisition function as we scale. You'll be a hands-on, strategic partner to our founders, owning all hiring across AI/ML research engineering, product, and go-to-market roles.

- 2+ years recruiting specifically for AI/ML, research engineering, or ML infrastructure roles (strongly preferred)
- Proven ability to recruit across both technical (engineering, research) AND non-technical (GTM, product, ops) roles
- Sole operator experience: You've been THE recruiting function or founding recruiter before & are comfortable operating independently
- Quality over quantity mindset: You measure success by quality of hires, not speed or volume. You protect the bar aggressively
