ABOUT THE COMPANY

This organization operates at the forefront of predictive intelligence, leveraging advanced AI systems to model and anticipate human behavior at scale. By building and deploying sophisticated digital agents that emulate real-world decision-making, the company can simulate complex populations with a high degree of realism.

Clients partner with the team to navigate uncertain environments, accelerate product development cycles, and design more effective go-to-market strategies in an increasingly complex consumer landscape. The platform enables organizations to forecast outcomes with greater clarity and act with confidence in high-stakes situations.

The team is intentionally small, highly focused, and deeply mission-driven. There is a strong emphasis on ownership, trust, and minimizing unnecessary process. Team members are expected to operate with speed, rigor, and intellectual honesty. The environment is best suited for individuals who enjoy tackling difficult, ambiguous problems and want their work to have tangible, real-world impact.

ABOUT THE ROLE

The company is seeking a highly skilled Recruiter to identify and secure exceptional talent across technical and business functions. This is not a high-volume recruiting position—success is defined by consistently hiring top-tier candidates in competitive and specialized domains.

You will manage the full recruiting lifecycle, from building candidate pipelines to closing offers, with a focus on proactive sourcing and relationship-building.

• Represent the company effectively in all candidate interactions, ensuring a strong and consistent experience
• Partner closely with founders and hiring managers to define role requirements and hiring criteria
• Drive candidates through the process efficiently while maintaining a high bar for quality
• Track pipeline performance and recruiting metrics using modern ATS tools, leveraging data to improve outcomes
• Stay informed on trends in AI/ML and broader technical talent markets
• Support the evolution of recruiting processes and employer branding as the company grows

QUALIFICATIONS

• 6 years of experience recruiting for AI/ML, software engineering, or similarly technical roles
• Background working in fast-paced, early-stage environments where roles may evolve quickly
• Demonstrated ability to build pipelines for hard-to-reach or highly competitive candidates
• Strong judgment in evaluating technical talent and maintaining high hiring standards
• Familiarity with modern recruiting tools (e.g., ATS platforms, sourcing tools, and AI-assisted workflows)
• Ability to create a positive and lasting impression with candidates at all stages

NICE TO HAVE

• Sufficient technical fluency to engage meaningfully with engineers and technical candidates
• Experience in research-driven or deep tech environments
• Established network of AI/ML or engineering talent
• Experience helping build or scale recruiting functions at early-stage companies

LOCATION

This position is based in New York City and requires regular in-office presence 6 days/week. Candidates should be located in the area or open to relocating.

BENEFITS

The company offers competitive compensation, equity participation, comprehensive health coverage (medical, dental, and vision), and support for relocation where applicable, along with additional benefits and perks.
