What We Are Looking For

As we scale, we need someone who can keep both our hiring engine and our employee experience running smoothly. This is a hybrid role: roughly half recruiting coordination and half People Operations. You will own interview logistics and the candidate experience on one side, and onboarding, benefits coordination, and core HR administration on the other.

You will be the connective tissue between candidates, new hires, and the teams they join. You will partner closely with recruiters, hiring managers, and the People team, and you will keep finding ways to make our processes faster and better using AI tools. This is an ideal first or second step into a generalist People career for someone who wants real ownership and exposure to both talent and people operations at a fast-growing company.
