How do you turn a decades-old dataset into an industry-leading medical coding agent? Teach an AI receptionist to book appointments in Spanish? Automatically generate working data connectors from API docs? Build agents that write, test, and deploy their own software packages?
Fractional AI is a startup in the heart of Silicon Valley targeting the biggest greenfield opportunity in the economy: transforming companies with AI software at a scale the market is only beginning to understand. Our clients include Zapier, Airbyte, and companies from industries ranging from data infrastructure to healthcare and life sciences.
We were founded by repeat founders Chris Taylor, Eddie Siegel, and Travis May (Founder of Datavant, $7B exit), and are backed by Shaper Capital. Most of our engineers are former founders or staff engineers from top tech companies like Google and Stripe.
We're headquartered in SF with offices in NYC, Raleigh-Durham, and Dubai.
The RoleOur talent is our product. Customers choose Fractional AI because we bring together elite engineers, product leaders, and commercial operators to build and deploy applied AI systems.
We’re building a team that makes Fractional the best place to learn applied AI. As a member of our talent team, you’ll play a critical role in making that real — identifying and closing exceptional talent. Technical hiring is core to the role, but you’ll have the opportunity to work across functions as we grow.
What You'll DoSource exceptional talent: You’ll identify and engage top candidates, with a primary focus on technical hiring.
Own the candidate experience end-to-end: From first touch through close, you’ll build trust, understand motivations, and ensure a high-signal, high-quality process for every candidate.
Build on a high-performing recruiting process: You’ll come alongside a strong existing system and help evolve it — bringing new ideas and using data, AI, and experimentation to refine how we evaluate and close talent.
Track record hiring top technical talent: You’ve successfully hired Senior, Staff, and Principal engineers or product leaders in early-stage or high-growth environments.
Strong judgment and empathy: You know what great looks like and build trust quickly with candidates and hiring teams.
Data-driven and experimental mindset: You use data and experimentation to improve how you source, evaluate, and close candidates.
Technical fluency: You understand modern engineering stacks and can credibly assess how candidates map to team needs.
High ownership with a bias for leverage: You operate with precision and follow-through, and look for ways to scale your impact through tooling, automation, and AI.
Overdeliver: We are writing the playbook on how to create enterprise value with LLMs, and building our reputation as the world’s best applied AI team.
Overuse AI: We go out of our way to experiment with the latest tools and share what we learn with our teammates - building a culture at the frontier.
Over "engineer" the culture: For every big decision, we ask “would this make Fractional a better or worse place for our team?”
