We build AI companies from the ground up with corporate partners, investors, and elite founders, backed by a fund from top-tier global corporations and VC firms. Our purpose is to build AI companies that move humanity forward.\nOur Engineer in Residence (EIR) program puts a hands-on GenAI builder on an idea for 12 weeks to test it with real users. The strongest go on to found the company, and that is the only way AI Fund deploys capital: every company we fund starts with an EIR hire.\nThe person in this role will own full-cycle recruiting for EIRs and for AI Fund's own team, from first conversation to signed offer. We're rethinking how recruiting works now that AI exists. We're after 5x improvements, not 5% gains, and the recruiter in this seat helps build that.\nWhat you'll do\nRun full-cycle EIR searches across all of our active ideas. \nClose. Walk candidates through the residency, the compensation, and the path to founding a company, and get the right people to yes.\nOwn hiring for AI Fund's internal team, starting with engineers on our Build team and expanding to other roles the studio needs.\nRecruit builders on evidence of hands-on work: shipped products, real technical contributions, and applied GenAI experience.\nUse AI across your own workflow, including sourcing, research, outreach, and screening, and help build the custom tools that make it faster.\nKeep the process moving and ensure that candidates go from first contact through hiring events, a hands-on build exercise, the panel, and a decision without losing days.\nReport pipeline health weekly with real numbers, and use them to fix whatever is slowing things down.\nWhat you need\n6 or more years of full-cycle recruiting, including at least 3 hiring senior engineers or research-caliber technical talent, ideally at startups, venture studios, or venture-backed companies.\nA record of closing hard-to-hire technical candidates.\nFluency in how modern AI teams work. You can tell a hands-on builder from someone who manages one, and you can hold a credible screen with either.\nDaily, hands-on use of AI tools in your recruiting work, and a real appetite to keep pushing the boundaries.\nYou use AI heavily but never send slop. Anything you write should take longer to write than to read.\nBasic technical ability (or a strong desire to learn) paired with deep curiosity and the ability to digest new concepts quickly. Everyone at AI Fund, recruiters included, builds software with AI help.\nAbility to communicate in a way that candidates and founders trust. You can explain an unusual role and an unusual offer clearly.\nThe ability to run several searches on your own while keeping stakeholders informed.\nBonus points\nExperience recruiting founders, founding engineers, or candidates for an entrepreneurial program.\nExperience at a venture studio, incubator, or early-stage founder program.\nAn agency or executive search background in AI, robotics, or deep tech.\nWho this is for\nYou want work that matters. Every company AI Fund funds starts with an EIR, and you're the one finding them.\nYou're bored by filling reqs and want to help decide who builds the next great AI company.\nYou want exceptional candidates, unusual roles, and a job where your judgment changes the outcome.\nYou know the volume is high and the bar is higher. Most weeks include two or more hiring events and several active EIR searches.\nWhy AI Fund\nYou'll work with Andrew Ng's team and see ideas become funded, launched companies in about 10 weeks.\nYou'll see where AI is actually going through our network of companies, and you'll get the resources to change how recruiting works.\nWhat success looks like\nSix months in, EIR searches close faster and with less friction, the internal team has a steady pipeline of strong builders, and you've built at least one AI workflow the rest of the team now uses. Candidates always know where they stand, and the people you hire stay.","description_format":"text","description_chars":4023,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Venture Capital","Angel Networks & Startup Accelerators"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-27T10:28:03Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":86,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.86,"p_room":1,"age_days":4,"expected_fill_days":120,"reasons":["conf:3","win:early"],"computed_at":"2026-10-31T05:58:55Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":200000,"is_top_pay":true},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/ai-fund-senior-technical-recruiter","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/ai-fund-senior-technical-recruiter.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-31T07:34:43Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":11254,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-01T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":27001},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=27001"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fai-fund-senior-technical-recruiter"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fai-fund-senior-technical-recruiter"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fai-fund-senior-technical-recruiter"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/ai-fund-senior-technical-recruiter\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fai-fund-senior-technical-recruiter"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":3326832}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"aifund.ai","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":3326832},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
