What are the responsibilities and job description for the Principal Recruiter position at TEEMA?
Our startup builds advanced AI imaging technology used by more than 1 million paying customers — including teams at ESPN, National Geographic and NFL — to dramatically improve the visual quality of over a billion photos and videos. We’re profitable, scaling quickly, and operating in a massive market with strong product-market fit.
Over the past three years, we’ve grown from a team of 20 to more than 60, and we’re now ready to level up our recruiting efforts to match our momentum. To get there, we’re looking for a mission-driven, high-ownership Principal Recruiter to partner closely with our CEO and lead our sourcing strategy and recruiting engine. This is a rare chance for a sharp, resourceful builder to help shape a rocket ship from the launchpad.
About us:
- Hyper-growth environment with huge opportunity for ownership and impact ($3M → $48M revenue in six years)
- Trusted by over 1 million customers — including Apple, NASA, and Nvidia — across more than a billion images
- Featured in outlets like Fast Company, The Verge, Engadget, Mashable, BBC, and Fox News
- A high-caliber team that moves fast, sweats the details, and grows leaders from within
- Profitable with effectively unlimited runway
About you:
- 5 years of experience in tech recruiting, ideally with exposure to AI roles
- You’re the type of person you want to hire: passionate, driven, and committed to excellence
- You have a sourcing philosophy that goes far beyond basic boolean searches
- You’re execution-oriented, detail-obsessed, and relentless about quality
- You communicate clearly, thoughtfully, and with impact — both in writing and verbally
This is a rare opportunity to influence our culture and build out our recruiting function from scratch. Compensation includes a competitive base salary plus meaningful equity that grows with the company. Benefits include fully covered medical/dental/vision for employees, 15 days of PTO plus holidays, and 401(k) matching. This is a full-time, on-site role in Dallas, TX, and candidates outside the area will need to relocate.
Salary : $150,000 - $180,000
