Technical Recruiting at Krea
We're a small team and we want to hire exceptional people across infra, backend, AI research, and product. You'll work directly with the founders to find those people and run a fast, thoughtful hiring process end to end.
What you'll do:
Build pipelines through direct outreach, communities, events, and referrals — including channels most recruiters don't use.
Evaluate candidates with real technical depth: read their repos, research, and past work.
Run the full process: screening, scheduling, offers, and closing.
Track the talent landscape to understand where strong people are, how the market is moving, what candidates care about.
Write job descriptions and shape the candidate experience so the outside world understands who we are.
Who we're looking for:
4+ years of technical recruiting experience closing strong engineering, ML, or AI candidates. You should be able to look at a GitHub profile or research paper and form a real opinion. You're organized, fast, and don't let things fall through the cracks.
Strong candidates may have experience with…
Sourcing across industry, academia, and less obvious corners of the internet
Building or maintaining a strong network in ML / AI / infra
Early-stage or founder-led hiring
Evaluating technical work directly - architecture decisions, experiments, research
What we offer:
Visa support (STEM OPT, OPT, H-1B, O-1, E-3)
Close collaboration with a world-class engineering and research team
Real ownership over how we hire and grow
Competitive compensation (75th percentile) with meaningful equity
