About The Position

Andromeda Cluster is a rapidly growing company founded to provide early-stage startups with access to scaled AI infrastructure. We operate a global network serving leading AI labs, data centers, and cloud providers, routing training and inference jobs across global compute supply. Our platform ensures customers have access to capacity when and where they need it, with the long-term vision of building the liquidity layer for global AI compute. We are seeking an exceptional team to achieve this vision. The role of Technical Recruiter is to help build the team behind Andromeda's next stage of growth. You will own a focused portfolio of high-priority searches, primarily in engineering and AI infrastructure, working directly with hiring managers from role definition through to closing candidates. Success requires finding talent in overlooked places, understanding candidate motivations, telling a compelling story about Andromeda, and closing candidates who have strong alternatives. This is a hands-on role focused on execution, raising the quality of hiring through sharper prioritization, stronger calibration, faster decisions, and reliable recruiting data. The role begins as an individual contributor with potential for broader ownership and shaping the recruiting function as the company scales.

Requirements

Ability to map a market, uncover strong candidates outside obvious channels, write outreach that earns responses, and experiment when standard playbooks fail.
Strong judgment and influence; ability to challenge a brief, improve interview processes, create urgency, and maintain operating discipline.
Exceptional storytelling and closing ability; ability to learn unfamiliar technical domains quickly, explain why the work matters, adapt the pitch, and close sought-after candidates in competitive situations.
