Goodfire is an AI interpretability research company focused on understanding and designing AI systems that people can trust. Our mission is to advance humanity's understanding of AI to build safe and powerful AI systems. We believe that deep research breakthroughs are necessary to make this possible.

What you’ll bring Required experience 5-10 years of recruiting experience, with 3+ years in early-stage startup or research-intensive environments 2+ years recruiting specifically for AI/ML, research engineering, or ML infrastructure roles (strongly preferred) Proven ability to recruit across both technical (engineering, research) AND non-technical (GTM, product, ops) roles Sole operator experience: You've been THE recruiting function or founding recruiter before & are comfortable operating independently Quality over quantity mindset: You measure success by quality of hires, not speed or volume. You protect the bar aggressively Preferred qualifications Experience recruiting for frontier AI labs, LLM startups, or research heavy engineering orgs. STEM degree (BS/MS/PhD) or equivalent technical background/fluency. Existing network in the SF / Bay Area AI ecosystem Our values Goodfire is looking for individuals who embody our values and share our deep commitment to making interpretability accessible.
