About this job

About Us:

At Nace AI, we are redefining how professional services operate by delivering Sovereign Specialized Intelligence. As an applied research and product company, we equip enterprises with a comprehensive AI stack to build customized, secure intelligence tailored to their unique business needs.

Driven by advanced Small Language Models and our dynamic metamodel framework, our flagship platforms - Nace Data Intelligence and the Nace SLM Cloud - enable true end-to-end business process automation. The result is transformative ROI: professional services firms using Nace AI are currently recovering 1,000 hours per client engagement, drastically reducing overhead and accelerating delivery.

The work we are doing has a meaningful impact across industries, and every hire at Nace AI plays a critical role in shaping the company’s trajectory. This is a unique opportunity to join a high conviction AI company at an early stage and directly influence its growth.

If building a world-class AI team from the ground up excites you, we’d love to talk.

What You’ll Do

  • Full-cycle recruiting for critical technical and business roles — from proactive sourcing and cold outreach to closing candidates and scaling teams from the ground up.

  • Design and implement scalable hiring processes, including structured interviews, scorecards, and recruiting metrics that evolve with company growth.

  • Partner closely with founders and hiring managers to define role requirements and translate business priorities into actionable hiring strategies.

  • Build and nurture high-quality talent pipelines across AI/ML, engineering, and other key functions.

  • Deliver an exceptional candidate experience that reflects our standards, ambition, and values.

  • Act as a strategic storyteller — articulating Nace AI’s mission and long-term vision in a way that attracts top-tier talent in a competitive market.

Who Your Are

We aren't looking for a specific number of years on a resume; we’re looking for the right DNA. Whether you’ve been doing this for two years or ten, if you have the technical intuition to vet engineers and the hunger to build a world-class team from the ground up, you belong here.

The Must Haves

  • Technical Fluency: You don't just "keyword match." You understand the nuances of Engineering, AI/ML, and infra, and you can speak the language of the candidates you’re chasing.

  • The "Hunter" Instinct: You can find and engage elite, passive talent.

  • High-Growth Grit: You thrive in the organized chaos of an early-stage startup. You don’t need a manual; you build the manual.

  • Compelling Communication: You are a storyteller who can influence both skeptical candidates and internal stakeholders with clarity and confidence.

  • Radical Ownership: You are highly organized and can juggle high-priority searches without letting a single candidate experience slip through the cracks.

  • Builder Background: You have a technical degree and have previously worked in a technical role.

Bonus points

  • Architect Mindset: You’ve built a recruiting function or interview process from scratch before.

  • Local Pulse: You have a strong network or familiarity with the Bay Area technical talent ecosystem.
