About the role
- What we learned was simple: infrastructure is everything.
- We lacked buildings, roads, water, power, communications, and waste management, and constructing them took far more time and resources than it should have.
- From a first-principles perspective, that doesn't make sense.
Responsibilities
- Manage the recruiting lifecycle end-to-end and serve as the point of contact for candidates from initial outreach through offer negotiation and onboarding
- Partner directly with engineering and operations leadership to forecast hiring needs, define role requirements, and build a headcount plan that aligns with company milestones
- At Starbase, the biggest barrier to launching missions to Mars was not building the rocket.
- It was how slow, expensive, and complex it was to build the infrastructure around it.
- It shouldn't be this hard or costly to create the foundations for progress.
Requirements
- 3+ years of full-cycle recruiting experience in a technical or high-growth environment
- Demonstrated ability to understand complex technical requirements and translate them into effective sourcing and screening strategies
- Clear written and verbal communication skills with the ability to represent the company narrative compellingly to passive candidates
- Experience recruiting for hardware, robotics, manufacturing, or other "hard tech" companies such as aerospace, automotive, or defense
- Experience as a founding recruiter or in an early-stage startup environment where you owned scheduling and coordination
- Familiarity with modern ATS platforms such as Ashby, Greenhouse, or Lever and sourcing tools
- Must be willing to work extended hours or weekends when needed to support critical hiring pushes
- Must be willing to relocate to Austin, TX if not within commuting distance
