Founding Technical Recruiter

• Housing: We simplify how renters tour apartments, sign leases, submit maintenance requests, and stay connected with their property team—bringing everything they need for their home into one place.

• Healthcare: We make it easy to schedule appointments, complete intake forms, and we help patients communicate with providers, so everyone can focus on health instead of paperwork.

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

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

• Excellent organizational skills and attention to detail with the ability to multitask

• 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.

• Equity in the company

• Fully paid parental leave

• Commuter benefits

• 401k benefits

• Unlimited vacation and paid holidays
