Companies like Hinge, HuggingFace, and Samsung use us to improve engineering team productivity, release better products, and get to market faster.\nFounded in 2011 and headquartered in downtown San Francisco with a global, remote workforce, CircleCI is venture-backed by Base10, Greenspring Associates, Eleven Prime, IVP, Sapphire Ventures, Top Tier Capital Partners, Baseline Ventures, Threshold\nVentures, Scale Venture Partners, Owl Rock Capital, Next Equity Partners, Heavybit, and Harrison Metal Capital. \nCircleCI is an Equal Opportunity and Affirmative Action employer.

We also consider qualified applicants with criminal histories, consistent with applicable federal, state and local law.\nHow CircleCI Uses AI in Hiring\nAt CircleCI, people make our hiring decisions. We use technology to support our recruiting team so they can spend more time on what matters most: getting to know you.\nWhere we may use AI\nJob descriptions and messaging: AI may help draft job descriptions and role-specific messaging so they are clear and accurate.\nApplication review: For some roles, we use an AI tool to review applications, including resumes and application responses, against criteria our hiring team sets for the role. The tool generates a fit score and summary to help recruiters organize and prioritize applications. \nInterview notes: With advance notice, an AI note-taking tool may join interviews to record, transcribe, and summarize the conversation. This lets interviewers focus on talking with you. You will be told before each interview, and you may opt out at any stage by letting your recruiter know. If you opt out, the tool will not join, and your candidacy is not affected.\nOutreach: AI may help draft candidate outreach and scheduling messages, which our team reviews before sending.\nOur commitment\nAI does not make hiring decisions at CircleCI. Our recruiters and hiring teams review candidates and make every decision to advance or reject an application. No candidate is rejected based solely on an AI score. We have tools and processes in place to test for bias and to review how these tools perform, and we adjust our approach as AI technology and the laws that govern it change.\nYour choices\nYou can ask for human-only review of your application, opt out of AI interview note-taking, request an accommodation, or ask questions about how we use AI.
