GTM Recruiter

Our mission is to build the next generation of AI: ubiquitous, interactive intelligence that runs wherever you are. Today, not even the best models can continuously process and reason over a year-long stream of audio, video and text—1B text tokens, 10B audio tokens and 1T video tokens—let alone do this on-device.

We're pioneering the model architectures that will make this possible. Our founding team met as PhDs at the Stanford AI Lab, where we invented State Space Models or SSMs, a new primitive for training efficient, large-scale foundation models. Our team combines deep expertise in model innovation and systems engineering paired with a design-minded product engineering team to build and ship cutting edge models and experiences.

We're funded by leading investors at Index Ventures and Lightspeed Venture Partners, along with Factory, Conviction, A Star, General Catalyst, SV Angel, Databricks and others. We're fortunate to have the support of many amazing advisors, and 90+ angels across many industries, including the world's foremost experts in AI.

• Manage the interview process end-to-end, ensuring a smooth, inclusive, and thoughtful candidate journey

• Track hiring metrics and use data to refine processes and improve outcomes

What You'll Bring

• 4+ years of experience in GTM or business recruiting, ideally at a high-growth startup

• A proven track record of sourcing exceptional talent, and strong candidate engagement skills

• Ability to manage multiple searches at once, often with evolving needs
