Missed shipments, cascading exceptions, hours of coordination that pulls people away from the work that actually moves the business forward. The infrastructure hasn't kept up with the complexity.\nBackOps is changing that. We build agentic AI that automates the operational work that supply chain teams have always had to do by hand - not by wrapping AI around legacy tools, but by rethinking the infrastructure from the ground up.\nWe're ~50 people, headquartered in San Francisco, and backed by investors who support category-defining companies early and with conviction: our Series A was led by Theory Ventures, with participation from Gradient, Construct Capital, and 10VC. The problem is real, the timing is right, and we're building the team that will define how this space evolves.\nIf you want to do work that matters, with people who take ownership seriously, at a company where what you build becomes the foundation - keep reading.\nThe Role\nWe're hiring our first in-house recruiter - someone who finds real satisfaction in the hunt: sourcing relentlessly, running a tight process, and closing candidates who weren't actively looking. This is a high-volume, full-cycle role built for someone who loves the craft and wants to go deep on it.\nTechnical hiring is where we need you most. Our engineering and product teams are growing fast, and the competition for this talent means inbound alone won't get it done.\nYou'll report to the Head of People & Talent and own full-cycle execution across your own reqs - with real input into how you source, sell, and close. You'll have the support and context to do it well, and the trust to run your searches your way.\nWhat You'll Do\nOwn full-cycle technical recruiting - from kickoff through close - across engineering, product, and adjacent technical roles\nBuild and run sourcing strategies that consistently surface high-caliber, often passive candidates\nPartner with hiring managers to calibrate the bar and run structured, high-signal interview loops\nTrack and improve your own funnel metrics - time-to-fill, offer-accept rate, source quality\nRepresent BackOps authentically to candidates - tell the story, build trust, close with conviction\nManage multiple technical searches simultaneously without compromising quality or candidate experience\nWhat We're Looking For\n4-7 years of full-cycle recruiting experience, with meaningful time at early-stage or high-growth startups\nProven track record hiring technical talent - engineers, infrastructure, product - with a high, well-calibrated bar\nA relentless sourcer who hunts passive candidates rather than waiting on inbound\nStrong closer with a track record of winning candidates against competing offers\nClear, compelling communicator who can represent a company's mission and culture with authenticity\nMotivated by being the best in the market at full-cycle technical recruiting\nBased in or willing to relocate to San Francisco\nWhy BackOps\nBe the first in-house recruiter at a company redefining supply chain infrastructure with AI\nReal input in how we build our technical team - with the strategic support to do it well\nBacked by Theory Ventures, Gradient, Construct Capital, and 10VC\nCompetitive salary, meaningful equity, and comprehensive benefits","description_format":"text","description_chars":3440,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":4,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Equity"],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"United States","iso":"US","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":true,"industries":["Artificial Intelligence","Logistics","Computer Vision"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-12T22:18:26Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":13,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.471,"p_room":0.28,"age_days":72,"expected_fill_days":31,"reasons":["conf:0","win:tail","crowd:"],"computed_at":"2026-10-13T05:45:00Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/backops-founding-technical-recruiter","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/backops-founding-technical-recruiter.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-13T18:54:27Z","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":28932,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-14T00:00:00Z"}},"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":3801726},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=3801726"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fbackops-founding-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%2Fbackops-founding-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%2Fbackops-founding-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/backops-founding-technical-recruiter\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fbackops-founding-technical-recruiter"}]}
