Technical Recruiter

LlamaIndex • San Francisco, CA

15h • Onsite

About The Position

LlamaIndex is building the document infrastructure layer for AI agents - from industry-leading document OCR (LlamaParse) to a document workflow platform (LlamaAgents) that helps enterprises automate human knowledge work over documents. We're growing fast, and we need a hands-on recruiter who can own hiring end-to-end across the company.
Your primary focus will be technical hiring - AI/ML engineers, infrastructure, full-stack, and developer tools - but you'll also support go-to-market and marketing hires as the company scales. You should be someone who gets energy from the day-to-day grind of sourcing, screening, and closing great talent, not someone looking to move into a purely strategic or management track. If you know how to leverage AI-powered recruiting tools without letting them go off the rails, and you can go from an ambiguous hiring need to a signed offer faster than most people can write a JD, let's talk.

Requirements

• 2–5 years of full-cycle recruiting experience, ideally with a mix of high-growth startup and larger tech company environments.
• Proven track record recruiting for niche, highly technical engineering roles (e.g., ML/AI, infrastructure, platform, developer tools). You don't need to know every engineering specialty, but you know how to go deep fast when you encounter a new one .
• Experience hiring across functions - comfortable switching between an infra engineer search and a marketing or sales hire without missing a beat.
• Hands-on experience with AI-powered sourcing and recruiting tools. You understand what actually saves time versus what's hype, and you invest in getting your filters right.
• Strong ability to assess talent - you know what "good" looks like and can deliver high-precision candidate slates without extensive calibration cycles.
• Experience managing external agency relationships and vendor processes.
• Demonstrated grit and longevity: you've stuck around at a high-growth company through the hard parts, not just the honeymoon phase.
• Excellent communication and relationship-building skills with both candidates and internal stakeholders.

Nice To Haves

• familiarity with the AI/ML ecosystem, open-source developer communities, or developer tools space.

Responsibilities

• Own the full recruiting lifecycle across the company: sourcing, outreach, screening, interview coordination, offer negotiation, and close. Primary focus on engineering roles, with secondary coverage of marketing and GTM hires.
• Build deep understanding of LlamaIndex's products, technical stack, and culture so you can accurately assess candidate fit and maintain a high-precision pipeline across both technical and non-technical roles.
• Source exceptional candidates for specialist roles using a mix of direct outreach, AI-powered sourcing tools (e.g., Juicebox, LinkedIn Recruiter, agents), and creative channels.
• Use AI recruiting tools effectively and responsibly - invest the time to tune filters and review output carefully rather than letting automated outreach run unchecked.
• Manage and optimize relationships with external recruiting agencies; know when to scale agency support up or down based on hiring velocity.
• Own and continuously improve the candidate experience from first touchpoint through onboarding, ensuring every interaction reflects LlamaIndex's brand and values.
• Partner with hiring managers across engineering, product, and GTM to define role requirements, calibrate on candidate profiles, and adapt quickly as priorities shift.
• Track and report on pipeline metrics, identify bottlenecks, and proactively iterate on sourcing strategies to hit hiring targets.

Benefits

• Impactful Mission: Work at the center of the AI revolution, helping build the team behind the infrastructure that powers how the world accesses and uses knowledge.
• Collaborative Team: Join a team of passionate, deeply technical people who move fast and care about craft.
• Growth Opportunities: As LlamaIndex scales, you'll have the opportunity to shape the recruiting function from the ground up and grow alongside the organization.
