Who We Are

We are a stealth-mode startup building foundational technology to address performance, scalability, and resiliency challenges in large-scale AI data center clusters. We are backed by top-tier VC firms and notable angel investors.

The company is led by experienced builders and operators who have founded companies, taken them to scale, and exited successfully. We work with a strong sense of unity and shared responsibility, and we expect trust, integrity, and respect in how we collaborate and make decisions. We hold ourselves accountable to one another and to the quality of the work we deliver.

Headquartered in Silicon Valley, we operate across a mix of remote and on-site locations in the U.S. and Canada. We aim to create an environment where people are treated fairly, supported in their growth, and are empowered to do meaningful work alongside others who take the craft seriously.

Travel occasionally for company meetings, recruiting events, hiring manager sessions, and onsite interview support.

Required Skills and Qualifications:

5-7+ years of recruiting experience, including direct recruiting experience in the semiconductor industry.
Proven experience recruiting for technical roles in areas such as silicon, hardware engineering, systems engineering, ASIC/SOC, verification, physical design, firmware, embedded systems, networking, data center infrastructure, or related technical domains.
Strong sourcing capability, including experience identifying and engaging passive candidates in competitive semiconductor and deep-tech talent markets.
Ability to partner effectively with technical hiring managers and translate complex engineering requirements into practical recruiting strategies.
Strong judgment in candidate assessment, process management, stakeholder communication, and hiring prioritization.
Excellent written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to craft compelling candidate outreach.
