We are in a hyper-growth mode. Were scaling past 100 full-time employees across India and the US. We are building an A-lister team and processeses built to scale not just get us through the next few hires.

We need someone who can own talent acquisition end-to-end while also helping shape the HR side of the function as it grows.

This is a Player-coach role: youll lead a team of 3 across TA/HR interns while also staying hands-on yourself as an IC recruiter. The role is roughly 80% TA 20% HR. Youre the one running hiring day to day and youre also the senior voice helping the HR team figure out process policy and the people-side of scaling without owning day to day HR execution yourself.

Youll own sourcing and pipeline across India and US roles work directly with the co-founders on headcount planning and with hiring managers to keep requisitions moving and partner with your Ops/admin teammates on the onboarding handoff. Alongside that youll spend time with the HR team mentoring sanity-checking decisions and helping figure out the frameworks (performance policy comp) that let HR scale.

What youll own

Talent Acquisition (80%)

• Connecting TA and HR: making sure what youre seeing in the market and in hiring (comp benchmarks candidate expectations attrition signals) actually informs how HR builds its frameworks

What this role is

• A doers seat: youre sourcing screening and closing candidates yourself not just managing a dashboard.
