Pylon is a Series B, AI-native B2B company building the next generation of customer support. Legacy platforms like Zendesk and Salesforce Service Cloud were built around tickets.

Own the entire technical recruiting funnel from strategy to close with high visibility and direct impact on company growth
Build scalable processes for hiring, onboarding, and retaining engineering talent from the ground up
Think outside the box to engage with and close top talent in competitive markets
Build and continuously improve scalable, high-performing recruiting processes from scratch
Track and analyze recruiting metrics (time-to-fill, offer acceptance rates, pipeline health) to inform hiring strategies and drive continuous improvement
What We Are Looking For
3+ years of full-cycle recruiting experience at fast-paced, high-growth startups
Proven success for sourcing and hiring across technical roles at B2B startups
Ability to manage multiple searches and projects at once
Attention to detail and excellent communication skills with a passion for delivering great candidate experience
Experience with Ashby ATS and sourcing tools (e.g., Linkedin Recruiter)
