About us

Zenos is a highly funded next-gen AI/robotics startup, with strong customer demand. We are delivering AI productivity to the physical world. We’re attacking a trillion dollar market opportunity with a world class team at lightning speed, and having a ton of fun while doing it.

This role is for someone who thrives in ambiguity, operates independently, and likes working on interesting and varied problems with smart people from places like Google, Amazon, Stanford, Carnegie Mellon, and Apple. Our founders previously started and sold a successful AI company with a nine figure exit, and our CEO has been an executive at a hyperscale tech company.

Join us early and take on outsized equity ownership. This is a chance to join a top company with a unique strategy to build the next phase of AI - in the physical world. We have a fun, friendly team, and are hiring fast.

We are currently in stealth mode, but excited to launch with major announcements soon.

The role

You would be the first member of our recruiting team, helping to build the organization from the ground up, and fulfilling a key function that will enable Zenos to grow.

As a Technical Recruiter at Zenos, you will own our primary recruiting funnel end-to-end:

  • Source high-quality candidates with great profiles to fill our open roles

  • Own hiring outcomes, continually improving results through the use of metrics and improved processes

  • Build hiring pipelines and talent pools that align with our long-term company strategy

  • Partner with our Engineering team to build a talented team designed to tackle innovative challenges

Qualifications
  • 4+ years of professional experience in tech companies, especially at an early stage

  • A technical background to enable effective communication with our target candidates

  • (bonus) Experience functioning as a player-coach, building out a recruiting organization while also owning individual work streams

This role will be in-office in San Mateo, CA.
