About the Role
This is a founding-team opportunity at a pre-seed AI recruiting startup that is rethinking how top talent connects with high-growth companies. You will work directly alongside the existing co-founders to shape the product, go-to-market strategy, and culture from the ground up. The role carries real ownership and is central to the company's trajectory.
What You'll Do
Partner with co-founders to define and execute the overall vision, strategy, and roadmap.
Help build and scale an AI-powered platform that matches candidates directly with startup hiring managers.
Drive growth by deepening relationships with startups and expanding the network of companies and candidates on the platform.
Contribute to product decisions, including how the matching algorithm and candidate experience evolve.
Hire and develop early team members across engineering, operations, and growth.
Work cross-functionally to ensure the platform delivers high-quality, efficient placements for both candidates and companies.
What We're Looking For
Demonstrated experience building, scaling, or operating within early-stage startups or high-growth technology environments.
Background in one or more of: AI/ML products, talent acquisition technology, marketplace businesses, or B2B SaaS.
Strong commercial instincts, with the ability to identify product-market fit signals and act on them quickly.
Experience working with or at top-tier consulting, technology, or venture-backed organizations is a strong plus.
Comfort operating with high ambiguity and a bias toward action in a very small team.
Excellent communication skills and the ability to build trust with founders, candidates, and investors alike.
Location
Based in San Francisco, California. On-site presence expected given the early stage of the team.
