About The Position

Since launching in February 2026, we have grown to over 50 paying customers, including Coursera, Arlo, and Braze, and are backed by prominent investors and angels. The founders are machine learning experts from top universities with experience at Google Brain and Waymo.

This role involves owning the candidate and new hire experience at Mintive. You will handle recruiting coordination, including scheduling interviews and managing the candidate pipeline, as well as people operations, such as onboarding, HR operations, and process documentation. The company emphasizes building and optimizing processes, and you will have the opportunity to build agentic workflows within their product to streamline your work.
