Growth Lead
About the Role
This is a high-trust, cross-functional role at an early-stage AI infrastructure company building the platform for reinforcement learning environments and post-training data. As Growth Lead, you will own recruiting, culture, and community from the ground up, acting as a key evangelist for the company's vision across the frontier AI ecosystem. The impact here is direct: you will shape who joins the team and how the company shows up in the world.
What You'll Do
Tell the company's story and build excitement around its mission through worldbuilding and content.
Find, connect with, and meet candidates, AI engineers, researchers, and other key players in the AI ecosystem.
Define company culture and values, then screen candidates and build an onboarding process grounded in them.
Own end-to-end recruiting operations, including systems, tooling, and automated workflows, in partnership with the Chief of Staff.
Host and represent the company at community and industry events alongside the Marketing and Events Lead.
Collaborate with GTM Engineers to identify and open pathways to high-priority leads and partners.
What We're Looking For
3 to 8 years of experience across recruiting, community building, content creation, or GTM at early-stage startups.
Demonstrated ability to own end-to-end recruiting processes and build or optimize recruiting operations and tooling.
Experience finding and engaging technical communities, whether through sourcing, ecosystem building, or business development.
Strong interpersonal skills: well-spoken, extraverted, and skilled at reading people and building relationships.
Ability to understand complex technical products in the AI or ML space and explain them clearly and accurately.
Experience defining company culture and developing new hire onboarding programs.
Track record creating content for marketing or community engagement, with a portfolio of writing samples.
Genuine enthusiasm for frontier AI models and a clear point of view on how great technical companies tell stories.
Established network within RL research, RL engineering, or the broader startup community is a strong plus.
Comfort operating independently in fast-moving, ambiguous environments with evolving scope.
