Deeptune builds training gyms for AI agents: high-fidelity simulation environments where AI learns to perform real-world tasks through reinforcement learning. We work with the leading AI labs to help them train the next generation of agentic models, and our environments have already contributed to recent breakthroughs in computer use, code generation, and multi-step task completion.
We’re a small, focused team of engineers and operators with deep ties to frontier research. Earlier this year, Andreessen Horowitz led our $43 million Series A, and we also announced our acquisition by Mercor.
As a Recruiter, you'll own full lifecycle recruiting for your assigned searches. You will report to the Head of Talent at Deeptune and partner with hiring managers to translate ambiguous needs into clear search strategies.
We’re looking for a NYC-based talent hire to join us 5 days a week at our stunning new office in the heart of the Financial District. This is a high-ownership role for someone with strong agency, comfortable making decisions with incomplete information, and capable of building processes that hold up under pressure.
You’ll play a foundational role in shaping our engineering and operations organization as we scale one of the fastest-growing companies in the world.
