Technical Recruiter

Alembic is the pioneering Causal AI platform. We help the world's largest enterprises move past correlation to prove what actually drives business outcomes - the question marketing and growth teams have never been able to answer with confidence. Fortune 100 companies including Nvidia, Delta Air Lines, and Mars use Alembic to make multimillion-dollar decisions on trusted, causal evidence.

We're backed by a $145M Series B from WndrCo (founded by Jeffrey Katzenberg), Jensen Huang, Joe Montana, Prysm Capital, and Accenture. Our models run on our own NVIDIA DGX SuperPOD built on Grace Blackwell infrastructure - one of the fastest private supercomputers in the world. (We've melted GPUs getting here.)

Your mission: own and close our priority technical searches, so that a team of top-decile engineers can keep shipping causal AI for Fortune 100 customers.

You'll carry 6-8 technical searches full-cycle - backend, infrastructure/SRE, and data engineering - partnering directly with engineering leadership. This is a carry-the-searches-yourself role with real authority over how they're run, not a coordination job and not a management job.

- You know the business cold. You can pitch Alembic - causal AI versus correlation, our customers, our infrastructure - credibly to a senior engineer, in your own words.

- You own calibrated scorecards and live pipelines on every search you carry, and hiring managers trust your judgment enough that your push-back changes how searches are run.

- You've closed multiple technical hires at our bar - including candidates who had other offers.

- Searches you run move fast: structured loops, same-week feedback, weeks not months from first screen to offer.

- 5+ years of full-cycle technical recruiting - software, infrastructure, or ML - at companies with a genuinely high bar.

- A closer's track record. You can tell us, specifically, about candidates you won against stronger brands, and how.

- You learn businesses fast and sell them fluently. Recruiting is marketing and sales, and you treat it that way.

- A consultative spine: you push back on hiring teams rather than push weak candidates, and you have the evidence-based arguments to do it well.

- High content-to-word ratio. You speak and write plainly, honestly, and proactively. Zero fluff.

- Urgency and meticulous detail at the same time - you don't trade one for the other.

- Data proficiency: you diagnose your funnels by root cause, not anecdote.

- An AI-native practice: you regularly experiment with new tools and methods, and you're constantly looking for alpha.

- You need a coordinator, a sourcer, and an ops layer behind you before you can move.

- You measure your work in activity - submittals, screens, calls - rather than hires and quality.

- You're ready to manage a team rather than carry searches personally. (That path can open here; it isn't where this starts.)

- Five days a week in our San Francisco office isn't workable for you. We're in the room with the engineers we hire for, and it matters.

- You see AI tooling as a threat or a gimmick rather than daily practice.

- Your work is the company's bottleneck-breaker: 19 funded searches stand between Alembic and its next chapter. Few recruiting seats anywhere have this much concentrated leverage.

- A hiring system worth joining: Structured hiring, scorecards, batch review, real candidate-experience standards - you're inheriting a thoughtful machine and making it better, not cleaning up a mess.

- A story engineers actually want to hear: Causal AI for the Fortune 100, mathematics implemented on a private supercomputer. You'll never have to sell vapor.

- AI-native by design: We'll fund your experiments. The recruiter-as-creator era is here, and this team intends to be evidence of it.

- Series B momentum, real ownership: Meaningful equity at a Series B company that's raised $145M, with proven product-market fit and Fortune 100 traction - and a talent function you'll help build as the org doubles.

- We're building the talent function while running it. You'll define process, not inherit it.

- Brevity is strength here - feedback is direct, meetings are short, and writing matters. If you prefer a softer communication culture, this will feel sharp.

- Priorities shift as we grow. We have real paying customers and a playbook, and we still move at startup speed at Series B scale.

Take your time with your application. We will review every application after the deadline (Wed July 15, 9:00 PM PT) and speak with a shortlist based on what you submit. There are no prizes for applying first, and no advantage gained by messaging the team - please put your energy into the application itself.
