Founding Talent

San Francisco, California, United States

Latent is working on unsolved problems concerning the robust and reliable integration of Medical Intelligence. We're building AI as the backbone of the American healthcare system, shipping products that are already helping hospitals and clinics exponentially increase their workflow output, enabling patients to get meds faster, and significantly boosting revenues. 

We’re looking for a Founding Talent Partner to join our small but mighty team and lead all things recruiting. This is a hands-on, full-stack talent role where you'll partner directly with the CEO and department leads to build world-class teams across engineering, product, design, and operations.

You won’t just fill roles—you’ll own strategy, shape process, and define what “great” looks like at Latent. This is an opportunity to be the architect behind a high-performing, mission-driven team at one of the fastest-growing AI startups.

This role is full-time and onsite in our SF office.

Qualifications:

  • 8+ years of experience in recruiting, with at least 3 years in a startup or high-growth environment
  • Proven success hiring across deeply technical roles, especially:
  • Fluency in evaluating non-obvious indicators of technical excellence and builder mindset
  • Comfort operating as a team of one—rolling up your sleeves to source, coordinate, and close
  • Ability to think like a founder: high judgment, proactive communication, bias for action, and ownership mentality
  • Experience crafting outbound messaging, leveraging search strings, and fine-tuning sourcing based on evolving needs
  • Strong familiarity with tools like Greenhouse, LinkedIn Recruiter, GitHub, and sourcing automation stacks

Responsibilities:

  • Own the full-cycle recruiting process across technical roles, from sourcing to close
  • Define and refine candidate profiles and hiring bar 
  • Partner with leadership to scope new roles and develop talent roadmaps aligned with company objectives
  • Build and run outbound sourcing strategies to reach top talent 
  • Manage talent infrastructure including Greenhouse, LinkedIn Recruiter, and hiring data
  • Be a strategic thought partner on team composition and organizational scaling
  • Maintain and share weekly pipeline and search updates with transparency and context
  • Represent Latent’s brand and values with authenticity, empathy, and clarity in every candidate interaction

What We Value

  • A demonstrated history of excellence
  • A collaborative mindset, with excellent communication skills
  • A proactive approach to identifying and solving problems with minimal oversight
  • An extremely strong work ethic with commitment to quality and detail

Why You Should Join Us

  • Strong backing from investors like General Catalyst, Conviction, and YC
  • Best-in-class team that is deeply mission-aligned
  • Have a huge impact on a small team with lots of green space for growth
  • Competitive salary and equity compensation
  • Excellent benefits and versatile health, dental, and vision coverage plans
  • Paid parental leave
  • Unlimited PTO

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.

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.
