Our team has an incredibly ambitious vision to completely transform the way businesses and consumers interact in financial services.

• Team Oriented - Ability to collaborate respectfully and put the team above the self

About the Role

This is a high-ownership recruiting role reporting directly to the CEO. You will own full-cycle recruiting across engineering, AI, product, sales, and operations as the company scales from 50 to 100+ over the coming years. Today's pace is ~1-2 hires per month, but the work is foundational: you are building the recruiting engine, the hiring bar, and the playbook every future hire will run through. You are the first and only recruiter for at least six to twelve months. You will personally source, screen, close, and onboard every new hire. The difficulty is not convincing people to join. It is maintaining quality and being methodical about each placement as the business accelerates.

What You'll Own

Full-Cycle Recruiting

• Own sourcing, screening, closing, and onboarding across engineering, AI, product, sales, and operations
• Build relationships with high-caliber candidates inside and outside your network
• Run a hiring process that holds quality steady as volume climbs

Calibration and Hiring Bar

• Partner with the CEO, CTO, and VP Ops to define hiring bar and calibrate on talent
• Partner with VP Product and VP Sales as roles open across their functions
• Leverage data on comp, candidate pools, and competitive offers in every search

Foundation for Scale

• Build recruiting workflows, frameworks, and tooling to scale from 50 to 100+
• Stand up the systems, dashboards, and reporting that the future team will inherit
• Document the hiring bar so it survives volume increases and headcount changes

Requirements

Must-Have

• 4+ years of full-cycle recruiting experience at a high-growth startup with a strong technical or engineering hiring focus
• Demonstrated track record building out technical teams and hiring across multiple disciplines (engineering, AI, product, GTM)
• Hands-on operator willing to personally source, screen, and close. No expectation to delegate to sourcers or coordinators.
• Based in Austin or New York City, with a willingness to work in-person at a startup pace
• Comfort being the first and only recruiter for 12 months and laying recruiting infrastructure solo

Nice-to-Have

• Experience hiring against frontier AI labs and top-tier startups for engineering and research talent
• Prior founder, founding engineer, or first recruiter experience at a company that scaled past 200
• Experience hiring in vertical AI, regulated industries, or professional services
• Track record of hiring quality (productivity, retention, performance), not just hiring volume

What We Offer / Benefits & Perks

• Competitive salary and equity-based compensation: $125000 - $200000 / peryear
• Best-in-Class health benefits Platinum, 100% Employer-paid medical, dental, and vision insurance
