Growth Lead

We're a fast-growing, early-stage startup building infrastructure for reinforcement learning (RL) environments — enabling AI labs and developers to train, evaluate, and align frontier models to real-world workflows. We're hiring a Growth Lead to help evangelize our vision and connect us with the right people across the AI ecosystem.

This is a high-trust, high-ownership role where you'll shape recruiting, culture, and community from the ground up. You'll work cross-functionally alongside engineering, marketing, and go-to-market teammates to tell our story, build world-class teams, and expand our network in the frontier AI space. Visa sponsorship is available.

• Tell our company's story compellingly — get candidates, researchers, and industry players genuinely excited about our mission through worldbuilding and narrative.
• Find, engage, and build relationships with candidates, AI/ML engineers, RL researchers, and other key figures in the AI ecosystem.
• Define company culture and values, then apply them to candidate screening and new-hire onboarding processes.
• Own end-to-end recruiting in partnership with the Chief of Staff — building and optimizing recruiting systems, tooling, and automated workflows.
• Collaborate with the Marketing & Events function to host and represent the company at community and industry events, and to create compelling content.
• Work with Go-to-Market engineers to identify introduction pathways and connection strategies into high-priority leads and partners.

• Genuine excitement about frontier AI models and the drive to evangelize a bold technical vision.
• Demonstrated experience finding and connecting with people — whether through recruiting, business development, community building, or a similar function.
• Strong interpersonal skills: articulate, extraverted, and skilled at reading people and rooms.
• Experience operating independently at an early-stage startup in a fast-paced, ambiguous environment.
• Ability to understand technical products well enough to explain them clearly and accurately to a range of audiences.

• Existing network within the RL research, RL engineering, or broader startup communities.
• A clear point of view on how great technical companies build and communicate their story.
• Prior experience in recruiting, community management, or content creation at a startup.
• A standout writing portfolio that demonstrates your storytelling ability.
• Desire to grow into adjacent functions such as marketing, events, or go-to-market over time.

• Salary: $100,000 – $150,000 USD annually
• Visa sponsorship available
• Opportunity for significant ownership and impact at an early-stage, well-backed AI company
