About the role

We're looking for someone with genuine grit, strategic instincts, and the rare ability to be both a visionary recruiter and a hands-on operator.
If you are equally comfortable sourcing a hard-to-find profile, calibrating with a founder on what "great" looks like, and designing a hiring process from scratch - this could be the right opportunity for you.

Own full-cycle recruiting across multiple disciplines simultaneously: technical, GTM, operational, and leadership roles
Build and refine sourcing strategies that go beyond volume: creative outbound, referral networks, and community engagement
Partner with founders and hiring managers to define hiring criteria, design interview processes, and calibrate on ideal profiles
Stand up and optimize our ATS recruiting infrastructure (Ashby), scorecards, and pipeline analytics
Coach and eventually build out a recruiting team as the company scales
Are an exceptional top-of-funnel operator: you find candidates others miss, and you create pipeline in unique ways
Adapt fast and create new playbooks when old ones don't fit

Have significant full-cycle recruiting experience, ideally at a high-growth startup or technical company
Have led or meaningfully shaped a recruiting function.

Track hiring health with rigor: pass-through rates, time-to-hire, rejection patterns, and use that data to make better decisions

Expand human ambition in the physical world.
Critical infrastructure is constrained by labor shortages, hazardous working conditions, and operational complexity.
