About The Position

Tenstorrent is leading the industry on cutting-edge AI technology, revolutionizing performance expectations, ease of use, and cost efficiency. With AI redefining the computing paradigm, solutions must evolve to unify innovations in software models, compilers, platforms, networking, and semiconductors. Our diverse team of technologists have developed a high performance RISC-V CPU from scratch, and share a passion for AI and a deep desire to build the best AI platform possible. We value collaboration, curiosity, and a commitment to solving hard problems. We are growing our team and looking for contributors of all seniorities. Tenstorrent is building the future of AI compute, and this role will build the talent pipeline that makes it possible. As an Early Talent Recruiter, you will own university and early-career recruiting for your site, shaping which schools we invest in, building relationships with students and faculty, and leading intern, co-op, and new-grad hiring from first outreach through accepted offer. You will not simply run an existing campus calendar. You will decide where to focus, raise the quality of the funnel, and build the recruiting motion that our growing hardware and software teams need. This role is hybrid, based out of Santa Clara, CA, Austin, TX, or Toronto, ON. We welcome candidates at various experience levels for this role. During the interview process, candidates will be assessed for the appropriate level, and offers will align with that level, which may differ from the one in this posting.
