Founding Recruiter

Artemis•New York, NY

52d•$120,000 - $190,000

About The Position

Artemis is building the future of AI-driven defense - helping companies detect and defend themselves effectively in an era where AI is fighting AI on the cyber battlefield. We’re backed by First Round Capital, Brightmind, and a group of the cybersecurity industry’s most prominent Operators. Our founders, Shachar (ex-Palo Alto Networks, AWS, Demisto) and Dan (ex-Abnormal Security, Twitter) have previously built, launched, and scalee cybersecurity products loved and trusted by tens of thousands of customers, and have the customer, technology, and security know-hows to deliver this vision. Our exceptionally strong founding team includes software engineers, AI researchers, security engineers, and product designers hailing from Google, Abnormal AI, Wiz, Meta, AWS, and SentinelOne. We are growing our team and looking for passionate builders to join us and support our expanding customer base. Job Overview We're looking for a Founding Recruiter to build our recruiting function from the ground up. This is not a “take requirements and run ATS screens” type of role. You will architect and execute the entire recruiting engine, owning sourcing, messaging, screening, closing, and process design across both technical and non-technical roles. You will partner directly with the founders and early leadership to define what “world-class talent” means at Artemis and ensure we consistently land the people who raise the bar. This is a rare opportunity to join at the earliest stage and directly influence the DNA of the company.

Requirements

3-6 years of experience as a full-cycle recruiting IC. Startup exposure strongly preferred.
Demonstrated ability to own the entire funnel independently - sourcing through closing with measurable output.
Comfortable recruiting across functions; background in technical recruiting is especially valuable.
Proven track record of hiring in environments with limited resources (no large team, no brand recognition, no corporate perks to lean on).
Strong sourcing skills - creative, persistent, and data-driven.
Exceptional judgment in evaluating talent; able to distinguish between “competent” and “exceptional.”

Benefits

Be challenged to be better than ever before. Our team includes some of the smartest and most driven people in the world.
Real impact: You’ll shape the team and culture that drives the future of AI-driven defense.
