Growth Lead

About the Role This is a high-trust, early-stage role at a frontier AI infrastructure company building the platform for RL environment creation and post-training data generation. As Growth Lead, you'll be the connective tissue between the company's vision and the broader AI ecosystem — owning recruiting, culture, community, and evangelism from the ground up. It's a rare opportunity to shape a company's identity and team at a genuinely pivotal moment in AI development. What You'll Do Tell the company's story compellingly to candidates, researchers, and key players across the AI ecosystem. Source, engage, and build relationships with AI engineers, RL researchers, and other high-priority individuals. Define company culture and values, then translate them into candidate screening criteria and new hire onboarding processes. Own end-to-end recruiting operations, including building and optimizing systems, tooling, and automated workflows in partnership with the Chief of Staff. Host and represent the company at community and industry events, collaborating with the marketing function on content and activations. Partner with GTM engineers to map and pursue connection pathways into high-priority leads and ecosystem partners. What We're Looking For 3–8 years of experience in recruiting, community building, GTM, or a closely related function at an early-stage startup. Proven ability to run end-to-end recruiting processes and build recruiting operations, tooling, and automated workflows. Demonstrated success finding, connecting with, and engaging technical talent or key individuals in AI, ML, or adjacent communities. Strong existing network within RL research, RL engineering, or the broader startup ecosystem. Excellent communication skills — well-spoken, extraverted, and skilled at reading people in high-context situations. Ability to understand and clearly explain complex technical products related to frontier AI, agents, and training data. Experience defining company values and developing onboarding programs for new hires. Experience hosting or organizing community and industry events and creating marketing or community content. A standout writing portfolio that demonstrates clear, engaging technical or brand storytelling. Genuine enthusiasm for frontier AI models and the conviction to advocate for a technical vision. Comfort operating independently in fast-moving, ambiguous environments with evolving scope. Compensation & Benefits Salary: $100,000 – $150,000 USD annually Visa sponsorship: Available Location On-site in San Francisco, CA . This role requires regular in-person presence and active participation in local and industry events.
