About The Position

We are hiring our first in-house Recruiter to partner closely with leadership and hiring managers as we scale the organization. Over the next 12–18 months, this role will be critical in helping FAR.AI grow to roughly double its current size while establishing high-quality, repeatable recruiting processes. Reporting to the Head of People, this is a hands-on, full-cycle role suited for a mid-level recruiter who is comfortable operating independently, managing multiple concurrent searches, and serving as a trusted partner to hiring managers across both technical and non-technical functions. FAR.AI is entering a pivotal phase of growth, backed by over $40M in funding and expanding opportunities to shape how advanced AI systems are developed and governed. Our work spans technical research, policy, and operations, including partnerships such as red-teaming frontier models with OpenAI and serving as the EU’s selected evaluator for CBRN risks. As the scope and impact of our work accelerate, building the right team is the most critical enabler of our success. As FAR.AI’s first in-house recruiter, you will sit at the center of this growth. You will help scale the organization by identifying and attracting highly specialized, mission-driven talent across research, engineering, events, comms, and operations, while establishing thoughtful, high-integrity recruiting practices that reflect the seriousness of our work and intentionality of out culture. Working closely with leadership, you will shape not only how we grow, but who gets to build the future of advanced AI systems. For recruiters who enjoy autonomy, building from first principles, and working on problems with long-term societal impact, this is a rare and meaningful opportunity.
