Why this role is remarkable

• Work directly inside the world's most ambitious AI-native companies and frontier labs, operating as a core member of their engineering and leadership teams.
• Master the future of recruitment with a company-funded Claude account, paid AI certifications, and access to proprietary AI agents that automate laborious tasks.
• Join a globally-minded, remote-first team that prioritizes professional excellence and provides the tooling to outperform traditional market expectations in technical hiring.

What You Will Do

• Lead deep technical intakes and search strategies for software engineering, AI/ML, and infrastructure roles that move the needle for your clients.
• Use advanced AI agents to scale your reach while maintaining human judgment to engage and close high-demand candidates who aren't active.
• Partner with CTOs and founders to design interview processes, calibrate talent bars, and provide data-driven reporting on pipeline health and strategy.

The ideal candidate

• Proven track record of hiring elite technical talent (AI, ML, or Product Engineering) at technology companies where the quality bar is non-negotiable.
• Hands-on experience or a strong curiosity for AI tools, with a clear perspective on how they enhance recruiting efficiency and candidate experience.
• Exceptional communication skills and technical credibility, capable of engaging in deep architectural discussions with engineers and challenging high-expectation hiring managers.

Who are Jack & Jill?

Ok, I'll go first. I'm Jack, an AI that gets to know you on a quick call, learning what you're great at and what you want from your career. Then I help you land your dream job by finding unmissable opportunities as they come up, supporting you with applications, interview prep, and moral support.

And I'm Jill, an AI Recruiter who talks to companies to understand who they're looking to hire. Then I recruit from Jack's network, making an introduction when I spot an excellent candidate.

How does this work?

• Jack's an AI agent for job searching and career coaching. He works for you.
• Jill is the AI recruiter working for the company. She recruits from Jack's network.
• If it's a match and the company wants to meet you, they'll make the intro. In the meantime, if you'd like, Jack will send you excellent alternatives.

We never post fake jobs

This isn't a trick. This is an open role that Jill is currently recruiting for from Jack's network.

Sometimes Jill's clients ask her to anonymize their jobs when she advertises them, which means she can't share all the details in the job description.

We appreciate this can make them look a bit suspect, but there isn't much we can do about it.
