# Founding Head of Talent

**Hike Medical** · San Francisco, CA

Apply: https://jobs.ashbyhq.com/hike-medical/e9762cb4-ee38-4181-9f99-f9f93e299ee1

## About Hike Medical

Hike automates DMEPOS paperwork, powers the clinical workflow, and delivers custom devices in days through one connected platform and in-house lab.

## About the role

**About Hike Medical**

Hike Medical is building the defining company in musculoskeletal care. We sit at the intersection of AI, robotics, and healthcare, operating across three product lines: a proprietary AI-vision platform that turns a 30-second, web-based foot scan into custom 3D-printed orthotics; an AI agent platform that automates the entire DME workflow from pre-visit processing through claims and revenue cycle; and SoleForge, our vertically integrated 3D-printing factory producing custom medical devices at a scale the industry has never seen.

**Insoles today, full DME tomorrow, bionics by 2040.** Custom insoles are just the wedge. Our long-term vision is bionics: AI-designed, robotically manufactured orthotic and prosthetic devices at scale, replacing a fragmented, manual industry that hasn’t changed in decades. Read the full vision at [bionics2040.com](http://bionics2040.com).

We've stealthily raised $22M through Seed and Series A, backed by top-tier investors who backed companies like OpenAI, Anduril, and Mercury early. We run a fast, results-first, high-ownership culture out of our new SF Rincon Hill office. If you want to work at the frontier of AI, manufacturing, and healthcare, this is the place.

**About the Founding Head of Talent **

Hiring is one of the most important things we do. We're looking for our first Head of Talent to build the function from the ground up. This is a company-building role, not an HR role. You'll work directly with founders to answer: What should we hire next? How do we attract exceptional people before everyone else? How do we maintain our talent bar while scaling? How do we build a recruiting engine that compounds?

You'll own recruiting end-to-end while helping shape org design, hiring philosophy, interview quality, and how we scale as a company.

**What You'll Do**

- Own company-wide hiring across engineering, AI, product, GTM, operations, clinical, manufacturing, and leadership

- Partner with founders on hiring priorities, org design, and hiring plans based on milestones

- Lead executive and difficult searches

- Build sourcing strategies and structured interview processes that prioritize signal

- Build recruiting infrastructure, operations, training, and analytics

- Improve offer acceptance and candidate experience while maintaining an exceptional talent bar

- Make Hike a company exceptional people want to join**Who You Are**

- You've built recruiting inside a fast-growing startup, ideally from Seed through Series B/C

- You're equally comfortable sourcing a senior AI engineer, manufacturing leader, or enterprise sales executive

- You think like an operator, not a recruiter

- You care deeply about talent density

- You're resourceful, move quickly, and enjoy building systems from scratch

- You don't need excessive process to produce great outcomes

- You enjoy spending time with candidates and hiring managers
