We're an experienced team of independent thinkers, with a passion for creating high quality products. We're looking for self-motivated and fast-learning individuals to join our mission.

About the role

We’re seeking a Staff Technical Recruiter to join our small, high-impact team and help us scale thoughtfully as we grow. In this role, you’ll partner with hiring managers, guide candidates through a transparent and compelling process, and play a key role in closing top technical talent.

As part of our nimble recruiting team, you’ll help shape how we scale, experiment with new approaches, and make a lasting impact on both our growth and culture. Every hire you help bring on board will directly fuel our mission to accelerate robotics and physical AI development.

  • Drive closing strategies and manage offers to consistently secure top technical talent.

  • Deliver an outstanding candidate experience that reflects our values and culture.

  • Continuously refine recruiting processes and use metrics to guide smarter, faster hiring decisions.

This role is based onsite in our San Francisco office.

  • Experience creating and refining hiring processes for scaling organizations.

  • Strong communication and relationship-building skills with candidates and hiring teams.

  • Highly organized, with the ability to manage multiple roles and priorities.

  • A growth mindset; comfortable iterating on processes and rolling up your sleeves in a fast-moving environment.

  • Familiarity with applicant tracking systems (we use Ashby) and a data-driven approach to recruiting.

Bonus points

  • Experience recruiting at a leading robotics or autonomous vehicle company.

  • Passion for autonomy, robotics, and developer productivity.
