Talent Sourcer, GTM

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.

As a GTM Sourcer, you will play a foundational role in shaping Cartesia’s GTM teams—identifying and engaging world-class talent across Sales, Customer Success, Marketing, and other customer-facing functions. This is a highly hands-on role where you’ll source, screen, and support candidates through early stages of the process while partnering closely with Recruiters and hiring managers. You’ll help build the GTM recruiting engine for a fast-scaling AI company, ensuring we attract talent that can drive revenue and scale with explosive growth.
