Talent Associate

Every hire counts right now. We’re a small team building something hard, and who we bring in shapes everything.

You’ll source exceptional people and coordinate them through our process, end to end. Working directly with our Talent & People Operations Lead, you’ll find engineers, researchers, designers and operators who aren’t looking, and make sure every candidate moves fast and feels taken care of.

Part sourcer, part coordinator. All about the details.
