About the role

We are looking for a Technical Recruiter with 1-8 years of experience to join as the second recruiter at a $50M Series A AI startup building specialized intelligence for the world's largest investment firms. You'll partner directly with the Head of Talent and founders to source, close, and hire top engineering talent in one of the most competitive recruiting markets in a decade.

What will you be doing?

Full-cycle technical recruiting: sourcing, building pipeline, and closing senior engineers competing against top labs and Series A startups (Sierra, Harvey, Cursor, etc.)
Positioning Rowspace against elite competitors to convince top-tier engineering candidates to join a zero-brand startup
Partnering directly with founders and hiring managers to define hiring needs and interview processes from scratch
Leveraging AI tools to drive recruiting workflow automation and increase productivity
Helping build out talent infrastructure, employer brand, and recruiting operations as the company scales from 29 toward 50 people

Key Requirements

1-8 years of full-cycle recruiting experience at a high-growth startup (must have been there during the hypergrowth phase, not big tech)
Proven ability to close candidates in competitive markets — strong sales instinct and closing skills are non-negotiable
AI-forward mindset: actively uses AI tools in day-to-day recruiting workflows
High grit, high IQ, high EQ — can operate autonomously in ambiguous environments and hold credibility with sophisticated engineering candidates
Graduated from a top ~75 ranked US university (4-year degree); top 25 preferred

The best investors we know have built something over years and decades that's impossible to replicate: institutional memory of how they think and operate. It lives in memos, models, investment committee notes, emails, deal history, and trading data — scattered across systems that hold the patterns of what worked, what didn't, and why. That accumulated knowledge and how they apply it is their edge.

The problem is, it's trapped. It's messy and conflicting. It's locked behind stringent security and compliance controls. And most AI tools can't extract its meaning, much less scale it. That's the challenge we're taking on at Rowspace.

The firms we speak to know they need to drive AI transformation on an aggressive timeline. We've seen close up that AI is useless without the right data to act on. With public data increasingly commoditized, maintaining your edge demands a way to scale the judgment and insight latent in all the proprietary data your firm possesses.

Rowspace is launching to provide exactly this: specialized intelligence for investors to make faster, sharper decisions. We're thrilled to do it with $50M in backing from Sequoia, Emergence, Stripe, Conviction, Basis Set, Twine, and angels from across finance.
