Technical Recruiter

🚨 Technical Recruiter – AI Hardware📍 Hybrid, Mountain View, CAI’m working with a fast-growing AI hardware company building a clean-sheet processor specifically designed for frontier large language models.The company is developing its first-generation compute platform from the ground up for large-model training, reinforcement learning, prefill and decode, with a focus on improving throughput, latency, memory efficiency and performance per dollar at massive scale.They recently raised a major Series B, bringing total reported funding to well over half a billion dollars, and are now scaling the team as they move from architecture and development toward manufacturing and product delivery.This is a high-ownership recruiting role for someone who understands how to hire highly specialized technical talent across silicon, hardware, systems and software.You’ll work on:🔎 Owning full-cycle recruiting across highly technical hardware, silicon and systems roles🧠 Hiring engineers across RTL, microarchitecture, design verification, physical design, SoC architecture, power architecture, systems and software🤝 Partnering directly with engineering leadership and hiring managers to understand highly specialized technical requirements🎯 Building targeted sourcing strategies for difficult-to-hire engineering profiles in competitive markets📈 Developing and maintaining strong talent pipelines across semiconductor, AI hardware and deep-tech communities📞 Running initial candidate screens and assessing technical background, motivations and overall alignment🚀 Adapting quickly as hiring priorities shift across a rapidly scaling startup environment📊 Providing leadership with clear, data-driven reporting on pipeline health, hiring progress and recruiting performance🌱 Helping shape recruiting processes, candidate experience and hiring strategy as the company continues to scale

Requirements

✅ 3–5 years of technical recruiting experience, ideally within hardware, semiconductor, systems, AI or another deeply technical environment✅ Experience recruiting for roles such as RTL, microarchitecture, design verification, physical design, SoC architecture or related hardware disciplines✅ Strong understanding of technical sourcing and the ability to identify high-quality candidates in specialized talent markets✅ Experience working in an early-stage or high-growth environment where priorities can change quickly✅ Proven track record of hiring strong engineering talent in competitive markets✅ Comfortable owning the recruiting process from outbound sourcing through screening and candidate management✅ Strong communication skills and the ability to build credibility with both engineers and senior leadership✅ Highly organized, detail-oriented and comfortable managing multiple searches simultaneously⭐ Experience recruiting within AI hardware, accelerators, semiconductor startups or LLM infrastructure is particularly valuable.⭐ A technical or engineering background is a strong bonus.⭐ Experience with Ashby or a similar ATS is useful.You’ll join a highly technical team with backgrounds spanning Google TPU, large-model software and senior semiconductor engineering, helping build the organization behind a first-generation AI compute platform.This is a rare opportunity to recruit across the full hardware and software stack at a point where the company is still defining its architecture, engineering culture and hiring processes.The environment is fast-moving and highly collaborative. They’re looking for someone who can understand complex technical profiles, build strong relationships with engineering teams and take real ownership over scaling the organization.💰 Package: $180K-$300K base plus equity.🏢 Working pattern: Hybrid, Tuesday through Thursday in the Mountain View office.
