About Our Client

Our client is a fast-growing 20-person Series A company revolutionizing AI infrastructure management. They're building cutting-edge post-deployment AI tools that help engineers focus on what they do best - creating exceptional products. With strong momentum and preparing for Series B fundraising, they're transitioning from founder-led sales to building a world-class team.

The Opportunity

We're seeking a Founding Recruiter to build the talent function from the ground up. This is a rare opportunity to join a high-growth AI company at an inflection point and define how they attract, evaluate, and close top-tier technical talent.

Reporting to: Head of Operations
Start Date: ASAP (prefer start before October)

What You'll Do

• Own the full recruiting funnel - from sourcing and outbound to offer close across engineering, GTM, and operations
• Run aggressive outbound campaigns - build targeted lists, craft compelling outreach, and convert passive candidates like a top-performing SDR
• Develop deep talent expertise - quickly learn what exceptional looks like and make sharp advancement decisions
• Build scalable systems - design recruiting infrastructure including outreach templates, intake processes, ATS optimization, and funnel analytics
• Be a strategic talent partner - contribute to team planning, compensation strategy, and organizational design
• Grow beyond recruiting - partner on broader People strategy, candidate experience, and onboarding initiatives

What You Bring

Required:

• 2-7 years in recruiting, talent, or high-touch people-facing roles (SDR, AE, partnerships welcome)
• Proven track record closing candidates with multiple competitive offers
• Experience with outbound recruiting or sales - you know how to get responses and build relationships
• Comfort with technical roles (engineering, infrastructure, devtools) or ability to quickly develop technical literacy
• Strong talent instincts - can articulate why someone is exceptional beyond just checking boxes
• High agency and entrepreneurial mindset - you identify what needs to happen and execute
• Excellent communication skills - compelling written and verbal communication

Bonus Points:

• Recruited engineers at venture-backed companies, search firms, or VC talent teams
• Experience in deeply technical environments working alongside engineers
• Operational mindset with focus on optimization and efficiency
• Active use of AI tools for sourcing and outreach

What We Offer

• Competitive compensation: $150,000 - $220,000 base salary
• Significant equity in a fast-growing Series A company
• Career growth: Founding role with opportunity to build and lead the talent function
• Impact: Direct influence on company growth and team building
• Location: New York office (Chelsea) - 5 days in-office with flexibility for occasional WFH
• Visa support: TN and Singaporean visa sponsorship available; H1B transfers considered
