From the PyTorch Lightning creators. Own your AI, don. Backed by Index.
About the role
We're building the AI-native company that the next generation of infrastructure runs on, and that means competing for talent in some of the tightest markets on the planet: AI research and engineering, neocloud, and data center build-out. We're looking for a Global Head of Talent Acquisition to own that directive end-to-end.
What they're looking for
- 10+ years in Talent Acquisition, with significant experience leading global TA functions at a fast-scaling technology company
- Proven success building and scaling recruiting teams and infrastructure from the ground up, not just running an existing machine
- Deep experience hiring for software engineering and AI/ML roles, with direct exposure to infrastructure, cloud, or data center hiring a strong plus
- A track record influencing senior technical and executive leaders on hiring strategy, headcount planning, and org growth
- Experience building and scaling employer brand and sourcing strategy in highly competitive technical talent markets
- Strong command of TA metrics and data, you run the function like an operator, not on instinct alone
More about this role
Lightning AI is the company behind PyTorch Lightning. Founded in 2019, we build an end-to-end platform for developing, training, and deploying AI systems—designed to take ideas from research to production with less friction.
Through our merger with Voltage Park, a neocloud and AI Factory, Lightning AI combines developer-first software with cost-efficient, large-scale compute. Teams get the tools they need for experimentation, training, and production inference, with security, observability, and control built in.
We serve solo researchers, startups, and large enterprises. Lightning AI operates globally with offices in New York City, San Francisco, Seattle, and London, and is backed by Coatue, Index Ventures, Bain Capital Ventures, and Firstminute.
The people who thrive here are builders who move fast, communicate openly, take ownership, and continuously improve themselves, their teams, and our company. Here's what that looks like in practice:
- Move with Urgency: We move quickly, make thoughtful decisions, and keep momentum. We value action over perfection and learn by shipping.
- Take Ownership: We own outcomes, not just our individual work. We make decisions that move the company...
