Partner directly with hiring managers - including engineers, scientists, and our CEO - to define hiring priorities, calibrate on candidates, and make great hiring decisions
Build and maintain a strong pipeline of candidates before roles formally open

Strong instincts for talent: you can assess a candidate quickly, advocate clearly, and push back when needed
Experience managing or mentoring fellow teammates
Experience recruiting for life sciences, biotech, or AI-for-science companies
Familiarity with Ashby or similar modern ATS platforms

Proactively source exceptional talent across AI engineering, applied science, and go-to-market functions

Use market intelligence and internal metrics to inform your hiring strategy
Serve as a trusted advisor to the team throughout evaluation and closing, especially for senior and highly technical candidates
8+ years of full-cycle recruiting experience, with a strong track record in technical roles (AI/ML, software engineering, or scientific computing strongly preferred)
Experience recruiting for early-stage, fast-moving companies where the role definition evolves and ambiguity is the norm
Proven ability to close senior and highly specialized candidates, including navigating complex negotiations

Entrepreneurial mindset
