Job Description

About TypeSafe

TypeSafe is a frontier model lab. We build reliable and general AI systems to power economically valuable automation. Our mission is to usher in a new era of Transformative Artificial Intelligence (TAI): technology with the power to drive a societal shift on the scale of the agricultural and industrial revolutions.

While others chase benchmarks and academic puzzles, we've been quietly rethinking the LLM stack from first principles — building a new kind of general frontier model designed for real-world reliability, decision-making, and autonomy in production.

We're a small, fast-moving team from OpenAI, Google Brain, and Meta/FAIR, backed by top-tier investors. Since mid-2024, we've been engineering the foundation for what comes after the current "state-of-the-art" — a model that actually gets things done.

About the role

We are looking for our first internal recruiter hire to shape our hiring process and systems, build a world-class talent brand, and hire amazing team members.

  • Run the day to day operations such as interview coordination and quick feedback loops

  • Understand our unique culture and diverse talent needs to hire a world-class team

  • Develop and execute sourcing strategies to build pipelines of highly qualified candidates

  • Build out teams from scratch across multiple functions

  • Define and track recruiting metrics and use data to drive continuous improvement

  • Take a high level strategic view of talent management and planning with the executive team

We are looking for people who

  • Have 5+ years of experience in full cycle recruiting with proven success, particularly in scaling strong technical teams

  • Have experience scaling teams in high-growth, fast-paced environments

  • Are comfortable navigating ambiguity, making judgment calls with imperfect information, and operating with a high degree of autonomy

  • Are kind, emotionally aware, and genuinely care for people's wellbeing

  • Have a bias for action to move quickly and creatively to engage top tier talent

  • Have exceptional organizational skills with the ability to juggle multiple searches and priorities simultaneously

  • Are excited about our mission and about playing an instrumental role in furthering that mission

  • Nice to have: Excited to build, test, and dogfood recruiting tooling and systems
