About Edra
Edra is solving one of the hardest problems in enterprise AI: AI models are generic but company processes are specific. We build AI agents that learn how processes actually run, and then run their operations.
We're a Series A startup, backed by Sequoia and other leading VC firms, and we're growing our team in New York and London. We're a deeply technical team of engineers, AI researchers, and strategists with a high bar for talent and a shared belief that exceptional people are the foundation of everything great we'll build.
The Role
We’re hiring our first recruiter–someone to serve as a builder of Edra’s talent engine. This is a hands-on role that will build the foundation of Edra’s talent acquisition motion, including owning in-the-weeds sourcing and foundational recruiting ops.
You’ll partner directly with the Founders and founding engineers to hire exceptional technical talent, build scalable recruiting processes, and craft a hiring culture that reflects our values of technical excellence, rigor, and drive.
Sourcing exceptional top-of-funnel talent is our number one priority, and will be the primary indicator of success in this role at the start. We expect the person in this role to hold strong opinions about the best way to drive this outcome, and to own execution hands-on.
What You’ll Do
Source exceptional talent: quickly understand our hiring profiles and fill top of funnel with strong candidates in both New York and London markets
Lead early hiring: partner with Founders and hiring managers to recruit world-class engineers and technical talent across disciplines
Build the recruiting stack: design and implement recruiting operations from scratch, including ATS setup (Ashby), sourcing/CRM systems, interview loops, and candidate experience
Run RecOps: keep our hiring machine moving, and help our hiring teams go from first intro to accepted offer fast and frictionlessly
Scale yourself: as we continue to grow and ramp hiring, scale recruiting to support ongoing hiring needs (with a bias towards leveraging AI tooling to scale your impact before scaling the team).
Sell the opportunity: sell Edra’s mission and opportunity to candidates, ensuring they leave every interaction more excited than when they came in
Shape our early talent philosophy: Define how we hire, ensuring a consistent, fair, and high-bar interview process that optimizes speed to hire and reflects a strong employer brand
What We’re Looking For
Experience: 4+ years of professional experience, with some experience sourcing & recruiting talent for top-tier tech orgs (even better if you have experience across both US & UK)
Technical fluency: you speak engineer (maybe you even have a CS background), and have experience recruiting for complex engineering roles
Interviewing expertise: you’re a skilled interviewer who can screen candidates thoughtfully to make sure our engineers are talking to the best of the best
Builder mindset: you’ve built or rebuilt recruiting systems, processes, and teams from the ground up
Hands-on operational chops: you’re comfortable with running recruiting ops, and building out the tooling needed to support your function and scale operations
