Founding Technical Recruiter (AI Software Company)

A fast-growing AI software company, recently funded at the Series E stage, is establishing an engineering office in San Francisco and wants its first dedicated technical recruiter. The hire will manage engineering recruiting from first contact to signed offer, working alongside engineering leaders and the CTO.
