[Hiring] Founding Recruiter @Destro AI

Role Description

We're hiring a Founding Recruiter to build and run Destro's talent engine. This is one of the first ten hires at the company, and you will own hiring end-to-end as we scale from a small founding team to 20 to 30 new hires a year, most of them engineers. You will be hands-on, sourcing, closing, and building the process as you go, with direct access to the founders and no existing playbook to inherit.

Recruiting here is not a service function. You will have a seat at the table, shape how we hire, and be expected to speak up. Most of your time goes to recruiting and headhunting. The rest goes to supporting the business side:

• Keeping our hiring and people tools running
• Handling basic HR operations
• Helping the sales team with outreach and pipeline tracking

Qualifications

• Proven ability to source and close passive candidates on your own
• Ability to quickly learn our domain and become a deep tech talent expert
• A desire to become our first talent/HR hire and grow into a future executive at Destro
• Direct, organized, and seeking high velocity environments

Requirements

• 1+ years of full-cycle recruiting experience (spanning from sourcing to closing)
• Skilled with LinkedIn Recruiter and other AI-native recruiting/sourcing tools
• Experience hiring technical roles at a startup or high-growth company
• Strong diplomacy, tact, and experience closing highly sought-after candidates

Company Description

Destro AI is building the intelligence layer for robotics — the system that coordinates robots, humans, and workflows across complex real-world operations. Founded by former leaders from HAI Robotics, Dexterity, and Matic, Destro is built on a simple thesis: robotics has solved movement, but not decision-making. Destro is backed by investors who have previously invested in and built companies like Brex, Figma, Notion, and Instacart.

Destro's MothershipOS is a shared brain across all robots, unlocking complex factory and warehouse workflows. Unlike traditional systems that rely on local intelligence on each robot, Destro brings global intelligence across the entire operation. Destro recently closed its Seed round at one of the highest valuations for a robotics company at this stage, and is already deploying in production with large enterprise operators.
