TALENT ACQUISITION RECRUITER

In this role, you'll manage searches end-to-end, from intake and sourcing strategy through interviews, offers, negotiation, and close. You'll recruit across AI/ML, robotics hardware and software, simulation, robot operations, product, business, and executive operations while partnering directly with technical leaders and functional heads. You'll also leverage AI and recruiting data to improve sourcing, candidate evaluation, pipeline management, and overall recruiting efficiency.
 

The ideal candidate has deep experience recruiting within robotics, autonomy, or a comparable deep-tech environment and can move confidently across highly technical and non-technical searches. You are a proactive sourcer, credible partner to technical leaders, and independent operator who uses AI as a meaningful part of your day-to-day recruiting workflow.

As a Talent Acquisition Recruiter , you will:

• 5+ years of full-cycle recruiting experience, with a track record of closing senior and hard-to-fill roles. • Direct robotics experience. You have recruited for a robotics, autonomy, or comparable deep-tech company where physical products and machine learning ship together. • Range across disciplines. Proven hiring for AI/ML, hardware, and software engineering, plus the ability to run non-engineering searches — operations, product, and business functions — without losing quality. • Real technical fluency. You can read a resume, a paper, or a GitHub profile and form your own view, and hold a substantive conversation about a candidate's work without a script. • AI adeptness. Hands-on, regular use of Claude or comparable AI assistants in your actual recruiting work, plus experience with AI agents and agentic workflows. Be ready to walk us through specific workflows you have built and what they changed about your output. • Sourcing horsepower. Boolean and X-ray search, LinkedIn Recruiter, GitHub, Google Scholar, and whatever else it takes to find people who are not looking. • Strong closing skills. Competing offers, equity and comp conversations, relocation, and visa considerations. • ATS fluency (Rippling, Greenhouse, Ashby, Lever, or similar) and comfort in a metrics-driven process. • Sharp written and verbal communication — your outreach gets replies, and your write-ups help hiring managers decide. • Ability to work onsite Monday through Friday in either our Cambridge, MA or San Francisco, CA office. • Independence. You will get context and support, but you will be expected to run without close supervision.
