About The Role

EliseAI is growing rapidly, and world-class technical talent is at the core of our success. We’re looking for a Technical Recruiter to help build out our engineering team in San Francisco by owning the full recruiting lifecycle for technical roles. This is an opportunity to join early as we continue expanding our SF presence and help shape how we hire and scale that office location over time.

You’ll partner closely with engineering leadership, hiring managers, and the recruiting team to identify and attract top-tier technical talent who want to build from scratch, solve hard problems, and make an impact.

Key Responsibilities

Own the full recruiting lifecycle for technical roles, from sourcing through offer negotiation
Partner closely with engineering leadership to understand hiring needs, technical requirements, and team culture
Source and engage world-class engineering talent using advanced sourcing strategies, including boolean searches, GitHub, Stack Overflow, X, in-person events, and other creative channels
Build and maintain strong pipelines across backend, full-stack, infrastructure, and other technical roles
Help grow and establish EliseAI’s engineering presence in SF through local networking, events, and community engagement
Lead candidate outreach, conduct prescreening calls, and guide candidates through the interview process
Represent EliseAI’s technical brand and value proposition effectively to passive candidates
Ensure our ATS is up to date and use data-driven insights to optimize recruiting performance
Contribute to improving recruiting processes, tools, and strategies based on data and feedback from the team
Support additional recruiting initiatives and projects as needed

Move at rocket speed, build something massive.

We’re scaling fast, solving real client problems with precision and ambition. Here, you own your impact: full autonomy, no micromanagement, no fluff. We hire the best, expect the best, and give you the masterclass of your career. It’s hard, it’s intense, and it’s the most rewarding work you’ll ever do. If you’re hungry, driven, and ready to build something massive, climb aboard.

Requirements

3–7 years of experience as a full-cycle recruiter with a focus on technical roles
Experience in a high-growth startup or fast-paced environment
Strong sourcing skills and experience with creative candidate engagement techniques
Excitement about helping build and scale an engineering office in SF from an early stage
Ability to quickly adapt and iterate on outreach and targeting strategies based on hiring trends and feedback
Excellent organizational skills and attention to detail with the ability to multitask
Strong EQ and analytical skills
Willingness to work in person at our office 5 days a week

Why Join

Growth and impact. It’s not often that you can get in on the ground floor of a funded (unicorn!) startup that’s scaling so fast. That means that instead of following a playbook, you’ll be writing it. Every single day you will be challenged to identify how we can scale and execute on it. You’ll learn what works when you succeed and what doesn’t when you fail. Either way, the rest of the team will be here to support you.
