Founding Talent Architect
Owns end-to-end top-of-funnel recruiting for engineering and GTM roles at an AI agent infrastructure startup. Sources technical talent from developer communities, runs initial code screens, builds scalable processes, tracks metrics, and dogfoods Composio for automation. Requires strong code reading skills and AI tool proficiency.
About the job
What You'll Do
- Own sourcing across every open role. Find people on github, x, hackathon leaderboards, paper authors, and the open source communities our customers live in.
- Run technical screens yourself. Read code, ask the right follow ups, separate signal from noise. You are the first technical filter. Manage candidate experience end to end and schedule in all interviews with appropriate people.
- Build the recruiting playbook we don't have. Structured outreach, screening rubrics, calibration sessions, scorecards. Write it down so it scales past you.
- Own pipeline metrics and tell us where it's broken. Funnel conversion, source quality, time to offer, offer accept rate. You bring the numbers to weekly hiring reviews.
- Partner with engineering and gtm leads on intake. Translate vague requests into a target profile, a sourcing plan, and a screen we trust.
- Dogfood Composio. Automate outreach, track candidates, and run reporting using our product.
Must Haves
- Core technical recruiting: you can read code well enough to evaluate a take home or a github profile without an engineer in the room
- You have built a recruiting process from scratch, not inherited one
- AI native: you use llms in your daily workflow and have opinions about what they do well
- Comfortable spinning up small scripts or agents to automate repetitive parts of the job
- Typist, you can write docs well and explain complex ideas clearly
- Human, you build trust and admit what you don't know
Optional
- Prior founding recruiter or agency experience at a developer tools or infra company
- Experience hiring across both engineering and gtm
- Presence in the developer community (events, discord, x, open source)
