HR Coordinator

Kai
San Jose, CA Full Time
POSTED ON 4/23/2026
AVAILABLE BEFORE 5/22/2026
Kai is the AI company rebuilding cybersecurity for the machine-speed era. Founded by the creators of category-defining companies Claroty and SecurityMatters, and trusted by Fortune 500 enterprises, Kai is building a future where security has no categories, no silos, and no human speed bottlenecks.

The Kai Agentic Platform replaces fragmented, human-limited workflows with agentic AI systems that continuously contextualize, assess, reason, and execute security work at the speed of thought—making human defenders superhuman.

Our team is deeply technical, fast-moving, and mission-driven. Backed by leading investors in AI and cybersecurity, we are building for long-term impact.

We are looking for a highly organized and detail-oriented HR Coordinator to support our growing team. This person will be the operational backbone of our People function—owning coordination, offers, immigration processes, and onboarding to ensure a seamless experience for candidates and employees.

This role is ideal for someone who thrives in fast-paced environments, is proactive, and takes pride in running tight, efficient processes. You will work closely with Recruiting, Legal, Finance, and hiring managers to keep everything moving smoothly.

What You’ll Do

  • Coordinate interviews across multiple teams, ensuring a smooth and high-quality candidate experience
  • Manage offer processes end-to-end, including drafting, approvals, and communication with candidates
  • Support immigration processes in partnership with external counsel and internal stakeholders
  • Own and continuously improve onboarding processes to ensure new hires are set up for success from day one
  • Maintain accurate records across HR systems and ensure data integrity
  • Partner closely with recruiters and hiring managers to keep hiring processes on track
  • Assist with People operations processes, documentation, and compliance needs
  • Act as a point of contact for candidates and new hires, providing timely and clear communication

What We’re Looking For

  • 2–5 years of experience in recruiting coordination, HR coordination, or People operations
  • Exceptional organizational skills and attention to detail
  • Ability to manage multiple priorities and timelines with accuracy and speed
  • Strong communication skills and a high level of professionalism
  • Comfortable working in a fast-paced, ambiguous environment
  • Highly collaborative and team-oriented
  • Strong sense of ownership and accountability
  • Experience supporting immigration processes (e.g., H-1B, transfers, etc.)

Nice to Have

  • Experience in early-stage or high-growth startups
  • Familiarity with HRIS and ATS systems
