• Deliver high-quality candidate experiences at pace,speed matters, but quality matters more
• Run structured, signal-rich interviews and guide interviewers through calibration and debriefs
• Become a system builder: help scale and improve how we run recruiting, not just run reqs

• You're comfortable assessing resumes, probing for signal, and escalating red flags early

• You're motivated by impact: you want to help define the DNA of an engineering org at the frontier

Bonus Points:

• You've hired in early-stage environments before (0→1 recruiting muscle)
