[Hiring] Technical Recruiter @Aegis AI

Role Description

Your Mission: Build the Elite Engine

• Identify, attract, and hire exceptional builders across Engineering, GTM/Sales, and Operations.
• Operate at startup speed, mapping markets, hunting high-caliber candidates, and pitching AegisAI’s vision.
• This is a high-visibility role where execution directly dictates how fast we can scale.

What You’ll Do

• Own Full-Cycle Recruiting:
  • Drive talent pipelines from initial outbound reach to offer negotiation across key business vectors: Engineering & AI, GTM/Sales, and Operations.
• Hunt Top 1% Talent:
  • Run hyper-personalized, creative outbound sourcing campaigns across LinkedIn, GitHub, X, networks, and unconventional channels.
• Partner directly with Founders & Leaders:
  • Work directly with founders, engineering managers, and sales leaders to define ideal candidate profiles, establish hiring bars, and run fast feedback loops.
• Master the AegisAI Pitch:
  • Clearly articulate our tech stack, mission, and category-defining opportunity to technical candidates and sales drivers alike.
• Drive Velocity:
  • Maintain high-touch candidate experiences, drive tight interview schedules, and remove operational friction to close candidates fast.
• Build Talent Infrastructure:
  • Continuously test sourcing approaches, refine candidate evaluation processes, and leverage AI tools to automate workflow drag and speed up your pipeline.

Why This Is Hard (and Why It’s Fun)

• The Bar Is Extremely High:
  • We only hire top performers, sourcing for elite engineering standards and top-tier SaaS sales talent.
• Zero Playbook:
  • In an early-stage, Series A startup, priorities shift quickly without a massive talent team or pre-packaged playbooks.
• Relentless Market:
  • High-caliber AI and security candidates receive dozens of recruiter messages a week, requiring creativity and speed to cut through the noise.

Why We’ll Win

• Proven Founding Team:
  • Founders have built internet-scale security systems protecting billions of users.
• Massive Category:
  • Disrupting a $5B+ email security market that incumbents are too slow to protect.
• High Density of Talent:
  • High bar for talent, zero tolerance for bureaucracy or politics.
• Fast Execution:
  • Development and hiring cycles are measured in days, allowing quick closure of top talent.

Qualifications

• 1–3 years of recruiting experience in a fast-paced agency, venture-backed startup, or high-growth tech environment.
• Multi-Disciplinary Sourcing:
  • Proven track record sourcing for technical roles (Software Engineers, AI/ML Infrastructure, Threat Detection) AND/OR business roles (AEs, BDRs, Ops).
• High Agency & Relentless Execution:
  • A self-starter who doesn't wait for perfect instructions; tests, adapts, and hits pipeline targets.
• Technical & Business Literacy:
  • Ability to discuss complex backend engineering and understand sales quotas and territory motions with GTM leaders.
• Scrappy & Adaptive:
  • Comfort experimenting with modern AI tools, modern sourcing platforms, and rapid-fire workflows.
• Proven Track Record:
  • Demonstrated history of sourcing, pitching, and successfully closing top-tier technical and commercial talent.

Bonus Points

• Experience at an early-stage (Seed through Series B) SaaS or AI startup.
• Prior experience in cybersecurity, infrastructure, or technical AI domains.
• Network depth across San Francisco, NYC, or major US tech hubs.
