120k – 175kEmeryville, CASanta Clara, CARecruitingOnsite3+ YOE
Summary

Dedicated full-cycle recruiter for an elite AI/ML research and engineering team. Own end-to-end searches for specialized technical roles, build pipelines from scratch, and partner closely with hiring managers in a high-growth startup.

About the role

What You’ll Do

  • Own full-cycle recruiting for the AIMS team, including AI/ML engineers, research engineers, digital twin specialists, generative CAD engineers, computer vision engineers, and data engineers
  • Build sourcing strategies from scratch, including target company lists, referral networks, talent maps, and multi-channel outreach
  • Develop pipelines that are not dependent on inbound applicants or obvious LinkedIn searches
  • Partner with hiring managers through intake, calibration, candidate review, interview process management, offer strategy, and closing
  • Translate role requirements into clear candidate profiles, outreach strategies, and interview plans
  • Present candidates with context, not just resumes, so hiring managers understand the signal, tradeoffs, and potential fit
  • Create a candidate experience that reflects the quality of the team: proactive, transparent, personal, and high-signal at every stage
  • Provide market intelligence that helps the team make faster, better hiring decisions
  • Identify where searches are blocked, diagnose root causes, and adjust strategy quickly
  • Maintain clear communication and search visibility without creating unnecessary process burden for the hiring team

What You’ll Need

  • Bachelor’s degree required
  • 3–10 years of full-cycle recruiting experience, ideally in a high-growth or startup environment, including exposure to AI, ML, data engineering, research, infrastructure, robotics, simulation, or similarly complex technical roles
  • Strong technical curiosity and the ability to understand what makes one technical candidate stronger than another
  • Proven ability to build pipelines for roles where the talent pool is small, specialized, and highly competitive
  • A sourcing methodology that goes well beyond LinkedIn and inbound applicants
  • Strong instincts for quality, signal, and fit in candidate profiles
  • Comfort pushing back when the bar drifts, the process breaks down, or the search needs recalibration
  • Ability to operate independently, move searches forward, and reduce cognitive load for hiring managers
  • Clear, concise, high-signal communication with candidates, hiring managers, and the broader recruiting team
  • Strong closing instincts and comfort navigating competitive offer situations
  • Curiosity, ownership, creativity, and resilience in hard searches

Compensation includes equity and benefits.
