    $50,000 - $90,000 (USD) per year *
    Description

    We're building a gamified developer platform where tens of thousands of engineers create high-fidelity datasets that push LLM frontiers. Recruiting is mission-critical to scaling this vision. As our Founding Recruiter, you'll build the function from zero: systems, process, and brand. You'll start as a player-coach-sourcing, selling, and closing top talent-then grow into leading a team that scales with us.
    What You'll Do

    • Build recruiting from scratch: Design and implement the tools, processes, brand, and training to scale hiring.
    • Own full-cycle recruiting: Source, assess, sell, and close candidates across technical (AI/ML/Eng) and ops roles.
    • Be a player-coach: Execute searches hands-on today, while building the roadmap for a future team.
    • Improve speed and quality: Shorten time-to-fill, track funnel metrics, and instill rigor into every stage of hiring.
    • Champion candidate experience: Protect our brand, ensure fast response times, and run a respectful, engaging process.
    • Run great intakes: Partner with hiring managers to deeply understand roles, set priorities, and flex across disciplines.
    • Source creatively: Go beyond LinkedIn (GitHub, niche forums, personal networks) to surface hidden talent.
    • Close strategically: Tailor the pitch to each candidate's motivations, explain equity/comp packages, and win against competition.
    • Teach & train: Help the team interview well, legally, and fairly; build structured processes and rubrics.
    You'll Succeed Here If You Have
    • Proven full-cycle recruiting experience, especially in technical roles.
    • Startup experience-ideally as a founding or first recruiter, with bias toward small-company breadth over big-company depth.
    • San Francisco market familiarity-strong local networks, norms, and understanding of compensation standards.
    • Demonstrated scrappy sourcing chops-you can show us creative tactics that worked.
    • Strong closer skills-able to handle competitive offers and tailor sell-stories to candidate motivations.
    • Comfort recruiting AI/ML talent; you know where to find them and how to get their attention.
    • Excellent written & verbal communication with low ego and high EQ.
    • Ability to operate in-person with us in SF (especially in the early stage) to embed with the team.
    • A structured mindset: clarity on non-negotiables vs flex areas, and how to prioritize candidate profiles.
    Characteristics We're Looking For
    • Scrappy, resourceful, and relentless in sourcing.
    • Clear communicator who thrives in ambiguity.
    • Values-driven: cares about mutual fit, not just closing.
    • Excited to build something foundational at an early-stage startup.
