[Hiring] Recruiting Lead @Arca

Role Description

As Arca's first recruiter and recruiting lead, you'll be responsible for building our team and maintaining high talent density. We're not handing you a requisition list and a job board login; we're handing you the function. Right now, hiring happens because a founder or a hiring manager carves out time between everything else they're supposed to be doing. That doesn't scale and you're here to help fix that: build the pipeline, run the process, and close the people who will define what this company becomes.

You'll be recruiting for two very different worlds at once:

• Technical talent — engineers who can operate with the ownership our product team already has.
• Everything else — wealth advisors carrying real licenses and real client relationships, GTM and marketing hires shaping a brand that's barely a few months old, operators for functions that don't have a playbook yet.

What you’ll own

• Pipeline and sourcing.
• The hiring function itself.
• Exceptional candidate experience.
• Scaled recruiting.

Qualifications

• You’re excited by ownership, ambiguity, and building things that matter.
• You're a builder, not a coordinator.
• You can recruit technical talent for real.
• You're AI-pilled.
• You’re someone people actually want to be in the (remote) room with.

Requirements

• You've stood up a recruiting function before, or you've been the person a founder leaned on to do it in all but title.
• You know how to evaluate engineers, speak their language to earn their respect, and help close them when there are other options.
• You already use AI for hours a day, and it's changed how you work and what you think one person can do.
• Kind, direct, and low-ego, you can give candid feedback without being a jerk.

Benefits

• This is a narrow window with unusually high leverage.
• We just came out of stealth, and we're growing fast.
• The team is intentionally small, the equity reflects that, and the ceiling is high.
• You'd be joining early enough that the work you do now directly shapes what the company becomes and what's possible next.
• The advisor-facing product is being defined right now, by a small team that talks to advisors every day.
• The consumer product is a blank page.
• The hard part is behind us, which means the interesting part is starting.
