Recruiter

Aria Networks builds switches paired with a telemetry-centric software intelligence layer purpose-built for AI/ML clusters. The founding team is strong, and the next chapter depends on bringing in exceptional people while building a talent function that scales with the company. As its first dedicated Recruiter, you will own that function end to end: there is no recruiting organization to inherit, so you will build the infrastructure and the culture around hiring from the ground up. Here the craft and the numbers matter in equal measure, and you will use data to hire smarter and build the relationships that surface people excited to build alongside the team. This is the starting point, and how you make it better is yours to shape.

Responsibilities

• Own talent at the company level and become the go-to person for recruiting
• Personally lead the most important searches
• Build recruiting infrastructure: tools, processes, and operating rhythms
• Partner with leaders across the company to understand where it is headed and the team needed to get there
• Develop a deep understanding of the technical organization and the people who thrive in it
• Bring data and structure to hiring
• Tell the company’s story to the people who will be excited to build here
• Create a candidate experience that feels thoughtful and personal

Qualifications

• 7+ years in recruiting, with a strong focus on technical and engineering roles
• Experience owning searches end to end, from sourcing and outreach through close
• Experience building recruiting process and infrastructure at an early-stage or scaling company, not just operating inside an established function
• Comfortable working both ends of the job: the search for a single great candidate and the systems, data, and rhythms behind the whole function
• Strong instincts for technical talent, with genuine curiosity about the technology and the people who build it
• Analytical approach to hiring, using data to understand what is working and what is not
• A natural relationship builder with strong candidate-facing instincts
• Experience as a first or founding recruiter is a plus
• Background hiring in networking, semiconductors, or AI infrastructure is a plus
• Familiarity with modern ATS and sourcing tooling is a plus
