Recruiting Coordinator (Contract)

About Cartesia Our mission is to architect AI that learns from and interacts with the world like humans do. We're pioneering the model architectures that will make this possible. Our founding team met as PhDs at the Stanford AI Lab, where we invented State Space Models or SSMs, a new primitive for training efficient, large-scale foundation models. Our team combines deep expertise in model innovation and systems engineering paired with a design-minded product engineering team to build and ship cutting edge models and experiences. We're funded by leading investors at Index Ventures and Lightspeed Venture Partners, along with Factory, Conviction, A Star, General Catalyst, SV Angel, Databricks and others. We're fortunate to have the support of many amazing advisors, and 90+ angels across many industries, including the world's foremost experts in AI. About the Role As a Recruiting Coordinator at Cartesia, scheduling is your core craft and you'll be the friendly face candidates meet along the way. As we scale, you’ll also gain hands on exposure to recruiting operations, process building, and improving the systems that keep our hiring team moving smoothly. Cartesia is building the models and infrastructure powering real-time voice AI, and you'll help shape the team that gets us there. This role is for you if you love the satisfaction of getting things done quickly, thrive in environments that are fluid and constantly evolving, obsess over learning new things, and enjoy meeting and interacting with new people. This is a contract-to-hire role: the position starts as a contract with a strong opportunity to convert to full-time based on performance. Please note that full-time benefits do not apply while in the contract phase. Your Impact Own scheduling end to end.
