Technical Recruiter

Join us and help shape the future of AI by defining the narrative around document understanding. About the Role LlamaIndex is building the document infrastructure layer for AI agents — from industry‑leading document OCR (LlamaParse) to a document workflow platform (LlamaAgents) that helps enterprises automate human knowledge work over documents. We’re growing fast and need a hands‑on recruiter who can own hiring end‑to‑end across the company. Your primary focus will be technical hiring — AI/ML engineers, infrastructure, full‑stack, and developer tools — but you’ll also support go‑to‑market and marketing hires as the company scales. You should be someone who gets energy from the day‑to‑day grind of sourcing, screening, and closing great talent, not someone looking to move into a purely strategic or management track. If you know how to leverage AI‑powered recruiting tools without letting them go off the rails, and you can go from an ambiguous hiring need to a signed offer faster than most people can write a JD, let’s talk. Responsibilities Own the full recruiting lifecycle across the company: sourcing, outreach, screening, interview coordination, offer negotiation, and close. Primary focus on engineering roles, with secondary coverage of marketing and GTM hires. Build deep understanding of LlamaIndex’s products, technical stack, and culture so you can accurately assess candidate fit and maintain a high‑precision pipeline across both technical and non‑technical roles. Source exceptional candidates for specialist roles using a mix of direct outreach, AI‑powered sourcing tools (e.g., Juicebox, LinkedIn Recruiter, agents), and creative channels. Use AI recruiting tools effectively and responsibly — invest the time to tune filters and review output carefully rather than letting automated outreach run unchecked. Manage and optimize relationships with external recruiting agencies; know when to scale agency support up or down based on hiring velocity. Own and continuously improve the candidate experience from first touchpoint through onboarding, ensuring every interaction reflects LlamaIndex’s brand and values. Partner with hiring managers across engineering, product, and GTM to define role requirements, calibrate on candidate profiles, and adapt quickly as priorities shift. Track and report on pipeline metrics, identify bottlenecks, and proactively iterate on sourcing strategies to hit hiring targets. Qualifications 2–5 years of full‑cycle recruiting experience, ideally with a mix of high‑growth startup and larger tech company environments. Proven track record recruiting for niche, highly technical engineering roles (e.g., ML/AI, infrastructure, platform, developer tools). You don’t need to know every engineering specialty, but you know how to go deep fast when you encounter a new one. Experience hiring across functions – comfortable switching between an infra engineer search and a marketing or sales hire without missing a beat. Hands‑on experience with AI‑powered sourcing and recruiting tools. You understand what actually saves time versus what’s hype, and you invest in getting your filters right. Strong ability to assess talent – you know what “good” looks like and can deliver high‑precision candidate slates without extensive calibration cycles. Experience managing external agency relationships and vendor processes. Demonstrated grit and longevity: you’ve stuck around at a high‑growth company through the hard parts, not just the honeymoon phase. Excellent communication and relationship‑building skills with both candidates and internal stakeholders. Nice to have: familiarity with the AI/ML ecosystem, open‑source developer communities, or developer tools space. Location This role is in‑person at our downtown San Francisco office.
