Technical Recruiter and Talent Researcher

You find people whose work and values can advance the mission, and give them a thoughtful experience from first contact to decision, including when the answer is no. Understanding what an engineer actually contributed is the skill that separates this from keyword matching.

The work:

Map research and engineering communities using public professional evidence and consented referrals. Partner with technical owners on role‑specific outreach and consistent evaluation. Maintain accurate status, compensation information and candidate communication while respecting privacy and removal requests.

What good looks like:

In your first 90 days, establish qualified pipelines for the priority roles and report stage conversion, candidate experience and bottlenecks.

Evidence we look for:

Bring technical recruiting or talent research experience and the ability to understand an engineer's contribution. Show personalized outreach, careful records and sound judgment about what is job‑relevant.

Required:

• Technical recruiting or talent research experience
• You can read an engineer's work and understand their actual contribution
• Personalised outreach you wrote yourself, and careful records
• Sound judgement about fit, including the confidence to say somebody impressive is not right for this

Nice to have:

• Research or hardware hiring specifically
• You have built a sourcing function
• You still have relationships with people you placed years ago

The exercise:

Build a small sourcing plan for a difficult systems role and explain how each candidate's public work relates to its first milestone.

How we work:

This role is customer‑facing, so it is remote‑friendly by default and you can be based in any major city with strong domestic and international airport connections in the United States, India and the UAE. Our garages are in Kirkland, WA; Dubai, Dubai, and you are welcome in any of them. What matters is being where the customer is.

Pay:

We publish what we pay. Indicative ranges by market and level are on our compensation page, and they are realistic going market rates rather than headline numbers. Wherever we hire we pay at least the local market rate, and for full‑time roles our floor is a living wage, never the statutory minimum. Compensation is reviewed every year and on promotion.

Equity:

Every full‑time teammate gets stock options. Four‑year vesting with a one‑year cliff, sized to role, level and impact, and confirmed in writing at offer. High performers earn refresh grants.

Bonus and commission:

An annual performance bonus tied to clear company and personal goals, indicatively 10 to 20 percent of base for non‑sales roles. Customer‑facing roles carry on‑target earnings, typically a 50/50 split of base and variable, with uncapped commission and accelerators above quota.

Health and peace of mind:

Medical, dental and vision for you and your family, plus life and disability cover. We have chosen the highest plan tier available to us rather than the cheapest one that clears the bar, because the point of this is that you never have to think about it. The specific plan numbers are confirmed in your offer letter.

401(k) with company matching:

A 401(k) with a company match, so the years you spend here compound into something that is yours whatever happens next. The match formula is confirmed in your offer letter.

AI tokens:

A budget of AI tokens of your own, because a company that says you should own your AI cannot be the company that rations it. Use them on the work and on whatever you are curious about.

Gym, and the everyday things:

A gym membership, and a corporate benefits programme with its own app, where you redeem real discounts with a long list of retailers on the ordinary purchases of a life.

Family:

We are remote‑friendly around your family, arranged one person at a time, and we would rather you took it than toughed it out.

Referrals:

Refer someone we hire full‑time who stays a year and you get $1,000 plus $10,000 in referral stock‑based equity, on top of your own package.
