About the Role

We're scaling from roughly 30 to 70-100 people over the next 6-12 months, and most of those hires are engineers. As our Technical Recruiter, you'll own full-cycle searches for infrastructure, distributed systems, AI/ML and GPU cloud roles. You'll report to our Head of Talent and partner directly with founders and engineering leaders. This is a hands-on role: you'll spend most of your time sourcing, engaging and closing great technical talent, and you'll help shape the recruiting engine as we build it.

• Coordinate structured interview loops, gather scorecard feedback and drive timely hiring decisions.
• Manage offers and closing, partnering with the Head of Talent on leveling and compensation.
