Senior Technical Recruiter

• Own end-to-end recruiting across AI/ML research scientists, research engineers, ML infrastructure, security, and non-technical roles (ops, GTM, etc) as needed
• Build and maintain a proactive pipeline of top AI talent so we're never starting from zero when a role opens
• Stay embedded in the AI community: actively participate in SF/Bay Area AI events, networking meetups, and conferences; maintain relationships that generate warm intros
• Design interview loops, ensure bar alignment, and build recruiting infrastructure that will scale with the company while executing all IC recruiting work yourself

You'll help shape who joins Goodfire as we scale, contributing to building the next generation of safe and powerful AI through understanding and interpretability.

• 5-10 years of recruiting experience, with 3+ years in early-stage startup or research-intensive environments
• 2+ years recruiting specifically for AI/ML, research engineering, or ML infrastructure roles (strongly preferred)
• Proven ability to recruit across both technical (engineering, research) AND non-technical (GTM, product, ops) roles
• Sole operator experience: You've been THE recruiting function or founding recruiter before & are comfortable operating independently

This role offers market competitive salary, equity, and competitive benefits. The expected salary range for this position is $120,000–$280,000 base salary + equity (no bonus).

Goodfire is a research company using interpretability to understand, learn from, and design AI systems. Our mission is to build the next generation of safe and powerful AI—not by scaling alone, but by understanding the intelligence we're building.
