Technical Recruiting at Krea

We're a small team and we want to hire exceptional people across infra, backend, AI research, and product. You'll work directly with the founders to find those people and run a fast, thoughtful hiring process end to end.

What you'll do:

• Build pipelines through direct outreach, communities, events, and referrals — including channels most recruiters don't use.

• Evaluate candidates with real technical depth: read their repos, research, and past work.

• Run the full process: screening, scheduling, offers, and closing.

• Track the talent landscape to understand where strong people are, how the market is moving, what candidates care about.

• Write job descriptions and shape the candidate experience so the outside world understands who we are.

Who we're looking for:

4+ years of technical recruiting experience closing strong engineering, ML, or AI candidates. You should be able to look at a GitHub profile or research paper and form a real opinion. You're organized, fast, and don't let things fall through the cracks.

Strong candidates may have experience with…

• Sourcing across industry, academia, and less obvious corners of the internet

• Building or maintaining a strong network in ML / AI / infra

• Early-stage or founder-led hiring

• Evaluating technical work directly - architecture decisions, experiments, research

What we offer:

• Visa support (STEM OPT, OPT, H-1B, O-1, E-3)

• Close collaboration with a world-class engineering and research team

• Real ownership over how we hire and grow

• Competitive compensation (75th percentile) with meaningful equity
