Technical Recruiter

San Francisco

About Imbue

Imbue is a radically different AI company. 

We believe that humans should come before technology, data should belong to you, and that everyone deserves to have their own personal AI agents. As such, we’re  building tools for you to create open agents—AI agents that you can modify to do exactly what you want.

Our first product is Sculptor, an interface for programmers to run coding agents in parallel and stay in flow. We're working to make Sculptor better and easier to use every day, with the hope of eventually making products that allow anyone to create custom agents and software (not just programmers). 

We’re supported by investors like Nvidia, Simon Last (co-founder of Notion), Astera, and Eric Schmidt (former CEO of Google), with $200M raised at over $1B valuation. 

If you’re excited about reimagining the future of personal computing and creating the future of AI agents, say hello!

About the Role

Here at Imbue, recruiting is mission-critical. We believe recruiting is not just about evaluating candidates, but also about understanding them and their journeys on a deep level. And we strive to be thoughtful and as transparent as possible—here’s a blog post explaining our recruiting process in depth.
 
As a technical recruiter, you will be responsible for owning the candidate experience and growing our team thoughtfully. Please note that this role is 100% onsite in our San Francisco office (located in Hayes Valley), and it is not eligible for remote or hybrid work.
 

You Are

• A recruiter with 2+ years of experience recruiting for technical and non-technical roles (preferably in an onsite role)
• Endlessly curious about people and enjoy supporting their journeys.
• Excited to dive deeper into AI and able to talk about technical concepts at a high level.
• High agency, scrappy, and find joy in building out teams from the ground up.
• Able to connect with individuals quickly and get a sense of their motivations.
• Great at engaging passive candidates and getting them excited.
• Able to develop and maintain relationships with top talent for both current and future opportunities.
• Adept at written communication and highly expressive.
• Organized, efficient, and able to stay on top of complex processes and simultaneous tasks.

What You'll Do

• You will manage outreach and engagement across multiple high priority roles.
• One of your primary responsibilities will be to conduct initial chats with candidates. On these calls, you’ll get a sense of the candidate’s motivations, existing skillset, and personal/professional needs. You will also be expected to discuss our company, culture, projects, and roadmap on a deep, meaningful level.
• You will manage the end-to-end pipeline of candidates from application to closing the offer. This involves frequent touch points with candidates to support them throughout the process.
• You will be responsible for managing the top-of-funnel efforts, including overseeing passive outreach campaigns, filtering applicants, and cultivating strong referrals.
• You will partner with the rest of the recruiting team to ensure high-quality, white-glove candidate experience.

Compensation and Benefits

• Competitive compensation, equity, and benefits
• Lunch provided daily to onsite employees
• $250 lifestyle stipend per month
• Generous budget for self-improvement: coaching, courses, conferences, etc
• Actively co-create and participate in a positive, intentional team culture
• Spend time learning, reading papers, and deeply understanding prior work.
• Frequent team events, dinners, off-sites, and hanging out.
• Compensation packages are highly variable based on a variety of factors. If your salary requirements fall outside of the stated range, we still encourage you to apply. The base salary for this range is $135,000–$190,000 a year.
 

How to Apply

All submissions are reviewed by a person, so we encourage you to include notes on why you're interested in working with us. If you have any other work that you can showcase (open source code, side projects, etc.), certainly include it! We know that talent comes from many backgrounds, and we aim to build a team with diverse skillsets that spike strongly in different areas.
 

Our Interview Process

1. Initial chat (30 minutes)
2. Take-home exercise (90 minutes)
3. Hiring manager chat (30 minutes)
4. Final onsite trial project (2 days; paid)

Race & Ethnicity Definitions

If you believe you belong to any of the categories of protected veterans listed below, please indicate by making the appropriate selection. As a government contractor subject to the Vietnam Era Veterans Readjustment Assistance Act (VEVRAA), we request this information in order to measure the effectiveness of the outreach and positive recruitment efforts we undertake pursuant to VEVRAA. Classification of protected categories is as follows:

A "recently separated veteran" means any veteran during the three-year period beginning on the date of such veteran's discharge or release from active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval, or air service.

An "active duty wartime or campaign badge veteran" means a veteran who served on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service during a war, or in a campaign or expedition for which a campaign badge has been authorized under the laws administered by the Department of Defense.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
