About the job
We're looking for a Senior Talent Partner who knows the US tech ecosystem, understands AI and infrastructure, and can become one of Runware's key people on the ground as we expand in the US.
What you'll do
Build our US team
You'll own and support hiring across some of our most strategic US roles, particularly in:
AI / Machine Learning
Infrastructure & Compute
Software Engineering
Product
Leadership and other strategic hires
You'll work directly with founders and senior leaders to understand what we actually need rather than simply execute against a list of open positions.
Build a network, not just a pipeline
We don't want someone whose sourcing strategy starts and ends with LinkedIn Recruiter.
We want you to:
Develop strong relationships within the US AI and technology ecosystem
Build long-term networks of engineers, founders, operators and technical leaders
Attend and help identify relevant meetups, conferences and industry events
Create relationships with people who may not be actively looking for their next role
Help make Runware better known within the US AI community
Identify creative ways to reach exceptional people
San Francisco / Bay Area experience and an existing network there would be a significant advantage.
Understand the technology
You don't need to be an engineer, but you should be genuinely comfortable in technical environments.
You should be interested in topics such as AI inference, GPUs, distributed systems, ML infrastructure, data centers and the rapidly evolving AI ecosystem.
We expect our Talent team to understand what we're building and to be able to have credible conversations with highly technical candidates.
Help us build Runware in the US
We're establishing and growing Runware Inc. , so your contribution won't necessarily stop at recruitment.
From time to time, you may help with topics such as:
US employment practices and market expectations
Employment contracts and onboarding
Benefits and People processes
Local vendors and partners
Employee experience for our US team
Identifying when we need external HR, legal or specialist support
You won't be expected to be an employment lawyer or HR specialist. What matters is being curious, pragmatic and willing to take ownership when something needs to be figured out.
5+ years of experience in Talent Acquisition, Talent Partnering, executive search or a similar role
Strong experience recruiting technical profiles in the US
Good understanding of the US technology ecosystem
Experience recruiting within AI, ML, infrastructure, cloud, developer tools or another highly technical environment
Ability to engage credibly with senior engineers, technical leaders and founders
A strong network — or clear evidence that you know how to build one
Comfortable operating in a fast-moving startup where roles and priorities evolve quickly
Able to work autonomously and make decisions without waiting for multiple layers of validation
Interested in broader People and company-building topics beyond recruitment
Strong ownership mentality: when you see something that needs doing, you help make it happen
Nice to have
Based in the San Francisco Bay Area
Existing network within the AI / ML ecosystem
Experience in an early-stage or high-growth startup
Experience helping a European or international company establish or scale its US presence
Exposure to US People Ops, employment or benefits topics
Experience recruiting Staff+, Principal, leadership or highly specialized technical profiles
We have core hours for cooperative working and calls, but outside of that your calendar is yours. Work the hours that let you perform at your peak while also building a healthy life.
Our release cycles are fast and intense, but they’re followed by real downtime. After big pushes we expect the team to unplug, recharge, and come back ready & stronger than ever for the next leap.
Generous paid time off – vacation, sick days, public holidays
Meaningful stock options – share in the upside you create
Remote-first setup – work from home anywhere we can employ you
Flexible hours – own your schedule outside core collaboration blocks
Family leave – paid maternity, paternity, and caregiver time
