About The Position

Employer.com is partnering with a well-funded frontier AI company that is building the next generation of multimodal intelligence, with applications spanning video generation, simulation, design, and robotics. Their technology is used by studios, enterprise brands, and developers worldwide, and they are backed by top-tier investors. This is a $4B frontier AI company actively building world models and physical AI infrastructure. The FDE team being built here isn't a support function; it's part of the commercial motion for a major technical bet on simulation and robotics. This role offers the opportunity to lead with the greenfield nature of the build, have direct access to hiring leadership, and potential for conversion. A strong contractor here builds something visible and owns the outcome. We are looking for a contract recruiter or sourcer with hands-on experience hiring Forward Deployed Engineers across the US (Bay Area) and Europe.

Requirements

Demonstrated history of hiring Forward Deployed Engineers or closely analogous profiles (Solutions Engineers, Implementation Engineers, Customer Engineers at companies like Palantir, Anduril, Scale AI, or similar)
In-house tech recruiting experience; agency background alone is not a fit
Recruiting focus in US (Bay Area) and/or European markets
Comfortable operating in a fast-moving environment with lean process and high ownership
Bay Area based, available to work from the Redwood City office 3 days per week
Available to start within 1-2 weeks
