The Mission
Interface.ai and BankGPT are building an AI that knows your entire financial life and acts on your behalf.
Not a dashboard.
Not a chatbot.
A new kind of product: personal financial intelligence that aggregates every account you have, understands your real situation, and continuously optimizes your financial life — finding better rates, negotiating bills, moving money, matching products, executing on goals.
The Role
We’re hiring a
Principal Technical Recruiter
to partner directly with our Head of People and work closely with our Principal technical leadership to scale our
Technology
teams.
You will play a central role in shaping the
technical bar, hiring philosophy, and team composition
during a pivotal growth phase.
What You’ll Do
- Own end-to-end recruiting for technical roles across Engineering, AI/ML, Product, Platform, DevOps, and Security
- Partner closely with founders, and senior technical leaders on role definition and hiring strategy
- Build high-quality pipelines through proactive sourcing and targeted outreach
- Run rigorous, founder-level screening conversations focused on signal and depth
- Maintain an extremely high bar—optimize for long-term builders, not short-term hires
- Design structured interview loops and help drive hiring decisions
- Independently manage priorities in a fast-moving, ambiguous environment
What We’re Looking For
- 7+ years of technical recruiting experience in a similar environment
- Demonstrated startup / scale-up experience, ideally Series A-B Stages
- Strong domain preference with Experience recruiting Tech talent for AI or Customer Experience companies
- Proven ability to work directly with founders and senior technical leaders
- Self-managed, comfortable operating with ambiguity and outcome-oriented
- Willingness to be on-site in San Francisco and act as a culture carrier
- Is energized by the idea of BUILDING success vs INHERITING it
Why This Role Is Special
- True Principal Recruiter mandate with ownership and influence
- Ability to shape the technical DNA of a category-defining AI company
- Meaningful equity and direct impact on long-term company success
Benefits
- 💡 100% paid health, dental & vision care
- 💰 401(k) & financial wellness perks
- 🌴 Discretionary PTO + paid parental leave
- 🧠 Mental health, wellness & family benefits
- 🚀 A mission-driven team shaping the future of banking
Series A
- $30M raised
- Cash-flow positive — we're not burning cash hoping the product works. It works. Customers are live, revenue is real, and the mission — bringing intelligent financial services to everyday Americans — is one you can explain to your family without a slide deck.
- You'll work directly with Bruce Kim (Co-Founder) and Srinivas Njay (CEO) — founders who understand engineering deeply and give their VP the authority and trust to actually run the global function.
- We offer top-of-market base, significant early-stage equity, comprehensive benefits, and a modern SF office that's worth showing up to.
- The team we're building is small enough that your judgment shapes everything.
- The market we're in is large enough that what you build will matter for a long time.
Compensation
Range: $200K - $220K
