About The Position

HUD is seeking a Recruiter to hire strong engineers and GTM leaders to support its rapid growth. The company focuses on building infrastructure for RL training data and evaluations for AI agents, with a marketplace for selling these to frontier labs. HUD has raised $15M from top VCs and was part of YC W25. The recruiting challenge is to identify and sign exceptional talent for a company that plans to remain relatively small (30-40 people) due to its marketplace model.

The role involves end-to-end recruiting for technical and GTM positions, building and optimizing recruiting operations and tooling, and partnering with founders and team leads to define role requirements and interview processes. The Recruiter will need to develop a strong understanding of the product to effectively pitch technical candidates, source candidates through unconventional channels, and screen for technical competence and product/market intuition. Support for onboarding, new hire ramp, performance reviews, leveling, and feedback systems is also expected.
