The company runs finance workflows end to end for enterprise clients, using AI systems that do real operational work rather than assisting with it. **About the company:** The business is growing quickly and already runs production systems for customers. It is hiring across forward-deployed engineering and AI strategy, and this hire will be the first person most future candidates meet. **The role:** You will own hiring for every open role, from agreeing what great looks like with the hiring manager to putting strong candidates in front of them. Roughly 90% of the job is recruiting and 10% is people operations. You’ll report to the Head of Strategy and Operations. You will: - Fill open roles on plan, with screens the hiring team trusts. - Build pipeline through outbound outreach, not inbound alone. - Agree a scorecard with each hiring manager and run a structured interview loop for every role. - Keep every candidate updated within two business days of each stage, and make sure no one drops the ball. - Run offers, onboarding and immigration basics reliably, without founder follow-up. **Requirements** **Your profile:** - 4+ years of full-cycle recruiting, at least two of them in-house. - Experience hiring into technical, customer-facing roles such as forward-deployed, solutions or sales engineering. - Strong at finding people who aren’t actively looking, and able to say where great candidates for a role come from. - Able to tell a strong forward-deployed engineer from a backend engineer, and a strategist from a consultant. - Comfortable with early-stage work: no playbook, shifting priorities, and happy with the unglamorous tasks. - Able to triage high volumes of applicants using AI tools without good people slipping through. **Nice to have:** - Series B or earlier experience, ideally as the first or only recruiter. - Experience hiring FDEs, AI strategists or deployment consultants. - Experience managing agency or marketplace recruiters. - Familiarity with common immigration processes. - Experience leading or mentoring other recruiters. **Benefits** **Benefits and compensation:** Salary is $140,000–$190,000 base plus equity, depending on experience (USD). ## Skills - Onboarding - Triage - Sales Prospecting - Software Deployment - Immigration - Forward Deployed Engineering - Artificial Intelligence - Sales Engineering - Grinding (Metalworking) - CI/CD - Mentoring - Trusts and Estates - Recruitment ## Related - [Human Resources jobs](https://www.foundrole.com/careers/human-resources?utm_source=ai_markdown)- [Talent Acquisition jobs](https://www.foundrole.com/careers/human-resources/talent-acquisition?utm_source=ai_markdown)- [Talent Acquisition Manager jobs](https://www.foundrole.com/careers/human-resources/talent-acquisition/talent-acquisition-manager?utm_source=ai_markdown)- [Browse all companies](https://www.foundrole.com/companies?utm_source=ai_markdown) ## Explore this job market - [California](https://www.foundrole.com/locations/us/california?utm_source=ai_markdown) — 260755 jobs - [San Francisco, CA](https://www.foundrole.com/locations/us/california/san-francisco?utm_source=ai_markdown) — 27904 jobs - [Executive Search Services](https://www.foundrole.com/sectors/staffing-and-recruiting/executive-search-services?utm_source=ai_markdown) — 11466 jobs ## Related pages - [California](https://www.foundrole.com/locations/us/california?utm_source=ai_markdown) — 260755 jobs - [San Francisco, CA](https://www.foundrole.com/locations/us/california/san-francisco?utm_source=ai_markdown) — 27904 jobs - [Executive Search Services](https://www.foundrole.com/sectors/staffing-and-recruiting/executive-search-services?utm_source=ai_markdown) — 11466 jobs ## Browse - [Companies](https://www.foundrole.com/companies?utm_source=ai_markdown) - [Jobs by country](https://www.foundrole.com/locations?utm_source=ai_markdown) - [Jobs in the United States by state and city](https://www.foundrole.com/locations/us?utm_source=ai_markdown) - [H1B sponsors by location](https://www.foundrole.com/h1b-sponsors?utm_source=ai_markdown) - [H1B salaries](https://www.foundrole.com/h1b-salaries?utm_source=ai_markdown) - [Sectors and industries](https://www.foundrole.com/sectors?utm_source=ai_markdown) - [Jobs by career field](https://www.foundrole.com/careers?utm_source=ai_markdown) - [Latest jobs](https://www.foundrole.com/jobs/latest?utm_source=ai_markdown)
