Who You Are

• 2–4 years of recruiting experience sourcing and screening technical talent — software engineers, AI/ML engineers, or adjacent roles. Agency, embedded, or in-house all work.

• Active AI tool user — sourcing agents, automated outreach sequences, AI-assisted screening. Already using these, not learning about them.

• Credibly fluent on the AI engineering side — can hold a conversation about LLMs, agents, RAG, or evals, and tell the difference between someone who's shipped with this stack and someone who's adjacent to it.

• Strong written communicator — outreach gets opened and replied to because it sounds like a real person who did the research, not a template.

• Organized and proactive with admin — keeps the ATS clean, moves candidates through stages without being chased, keeps hiring managers informed.

• Comfortable in a fast-moving, low-structure environment — things change quickly here and you don't need a lot of hand-holding.

What You'll Do

• Source proactively for AI and engineering roles across Lazer's Core practice — building targeted lists, writing thoughtful personalized outreach, and running focused sourcing sprints.

• Manage candidate communications end-to-end: scheduling, coordinating interview loops, keeping candidates warm and informed at every stage.

• Maintain clean, accurate records in Ashby — stage updates, notes, sourcing tags — so the team always has a clear picture of the pipeline.

• Screen inbound and sourced candidates at the top of the funnel and pass well-qualified profiles to the Senior Technical Recruiter and hiring managers with clear context.

• Use AI to do more — build or use sourcing agents, automate repetitive outreach tasks, and keep raising the bar on what you can output independently.

• Support offer logistics — reference checks, scheduling debrief calls, tracking offer status — so nothing falls through the cracks at the close.

• Learn the market — develop fluency in AI engineering comp, what candidates care about, and what we're competing against, and surface that intel to the team.

Nice-to-Haves

• Prior experience recruiting specifically for AI/ML engineering roles

• Familiarity with Ashby or comparable ATS

• Existing network in AI engineering or tech talent communities in US or Canada

• Experience building or using sourcing automation tools (Clay, Apollo, etc.)

AI in our hiring process
We use AI to help us review and shortlist applications based on job-related criteria. A human hiring manager always makes the call on who moves forward. As a company that builds with AI every day, we're all for candidates using it too — just be upfront about how it helped.

• Accelerate Your Growth: Work across multiple industries and cutting-edge projects with a team that ships fast.

• Maximum Impact: Shape the future of the tech industry by helping ambitious projects reach their potential.

• True Ownership: Everyone ships code and has real autonomy with minimal meetings.

• Continuous Learning: Be part of a team of senior engineers and designers who love learning and knowledge sharing.
  

Why This Might Not Be For You

• You Resist Modern Tools: We leverage AI and cutting-edge technology to build rapidly and focus our energy on solving the most complex, high-impact challenges for our clients.

• ️ You Crave High Structure: We thrive in an autonomous, fast-moving environment, which means you need to be comfortable with some ambiguity.

• You Prefer Conventional Careers: Our consulting approach involves varied projects and direct client interaction — it's not for everyone.

• 1️⃣ You Like Staying in One Lane: Our projects require adapting to different tech stacks and modern tooling quickly.

Benefits & Perks

•   Work From Anywhere: Choose your workspace — all you need is strong wifi and a passion for building!

• ‍♂️  Work / Life Balance: We believe in our team’s ability to have it all; a great career, and time to unplug and live…you know...life.

• Employee Care: We provide full benefits (healthcare, dental, vision) for our employees (401k for our US employees)

• ️ Unlimited PTO: Everyone needs a break. Take at least 15 days off a year, and more if you need—just be cool about it and keep the team in mind.

• Regular Team Retreat: Join us for a week of team bonding at amazing destinations. Recent trips include the Dominican Republic, Cancun, and Hawaii — plus ones welcome.
