Senior Technical Recruiter

JobsCloseBy Editorial Insights

Inflection AI is hiring a Senior Technical Recruiter in Palo Alto to scale its engineering and AI ML teams as it shifts toward a stronger in house function. You’ll own full cycle recruiting for backend, infra, ML and data, partner with leaders to design scalable processes, and use data to track bottlenecks and SLAs. The ideal candidate has 6+ years of technical recruiting in high growth startups, demonstrated ability to run multiple searches, expert sourcing skills, and strong stakeholder management; experience with Greenhouse or similar ATS and LinkedIn Recruiter is a plus. Salary ranges from $150,000 to $220,000 plus meaningful equity, with robust benefits and visa support. To apply, highlight 0 to 1 scale with quantifiable impact, show collaboration with executives, and emphasize a best in class candidate experience.

At Inflection AI, our public benefit mission is to harness the power of AI to improve human well-being and productivity.

The next era of AI will be defined by agents we trust to act on our behalf. 

We’re pioneering this future with human-centered AI models that unite emotional intelligence (EQ) and raw intelligence (IQ)—transforming interactions from transactional to relational, to create enduring value for individuals and enterprises alike.

Our work comes to life in two ways today:

Pi, your personal AI, designed to be a kind and supportive companion that elevates everyday life with practical assistance and perspectives.

Platform — large-language models (LLMs) and APIs that enable builders, agents, and enterprises to bring Pi-class emotional intelligence into experiences where empathy and human understanding matter most.

We are building toward a future of AI agents that earn trust, deepen understanding, and create aligned, long-term value for all.

About the Role

We’re growing our talent team and seeking a Senior Technical Recruiter to help us scale Inflection AI during this next phase of growth. This role is a key partner in building our engineering and AI/ML teams while also strengthening processes as we transition from agency-heavy recruiting to a more in-house model.

This is an onsite role based in Palo Alto, CA. You’ll be expected to work onsite Monday through Thursday, with remote flexibility on Fridays.

What You’ll Do

• Own full-cycle recruiting across technical roles (backend, infra, ML, data) and partner with leaders on occasional non-technical searches as needed.
• Partner with hiring managers/leadership to design and build scalable recruiting processes.
• Use data and weekly reporting to track bottlenecks, ensure SLA compliance, and provide insights to leadership.
• Drive pipeline development through sourcing strategies, competitive mapping, employer branding, and events.
• Champion an exceptional candidate experience across all touchpoints.
• Contribute to building the foundation of an in-house recruiting function that can scale.

What We’re Looking For

• 6+ years of technical recruiting experience, ideally across engineering, infra, or AI/ML roles.
• Experience recruiting in high-growth startups, including helping to set up or scale recruiting processes in ambiguous 0→1 environments.
• Proven ability to manage multiple technical searches simultaneously and deliver results efficiently.
• Expertise in sourcing strategies: Boolean, AI recruiting tools, competitive mapping, referrals, and talent intelligence.
• Strong stakeholder management and communication skills — able to influence senior technical leaders and partner with execs.
• Proficiency with ATS (Greenhouse ideal, but not required) and LinkedIn Recruiter.
