Our core product, Anura, translates spoken or typed intent into structured actions across drones, sensors, and mission software-enabling faster, more intuitive control in high-stakes environments. We’re a distributed team of engineers, operators, and technologists focused on deploying reliable autonomy at the tactical edge.\nThe Opportunity\nPrimordial Labs is hiring a Recruiter to own full-cycle hiring as our team grows. Every person you bring in shapes how fast Anura reaches the warfighters who use it. You'll report to our Head of People and run searches across engineering, field operations, program management, and business functions.\nThis role is for a recruiter who already knows how to run a search end to end and wants more ownership than a large company allows. You'll manage your own requisitions, partner directly with hiring managers and founders, and help shape how a fully remote defense tech company finds and hires great people. You’ll be our first dedicated recruiter on the team.\nWhat You'll Do\nFull-Cycle Recruiting:\nOwn requisitions from intake through accepted offer for technical and non-technical roles.\n\nScreen candidates for skills, motivation, and fit with a remote, mission-driven team.\n\nCoordinate interview loops, gather structured feedback, and keep decisions moving.\n\nExtend offers in partnership with the Head of People, and close candidates with clear, honest communication.\n\nSourcing & Pipeline:\nProactively source passive candidates through referrals, veteran networks, and industry communities.\n\nBuild pipelines for recurring and hard-to-fill and niche roles before they open.\n\nWrite and refresh job postings that sound like Primordial Labs, not every other defense company.\n\nHiring Manager Partnership:\nRun intake meetings to define what success in each role looks like, including must-haves vs. nice-to-haves.\n\nAdvise hiring managers on market conditions, compensation expectations, and realistic timelines.\n\nAbility to identify and proactively troubleshoot roadblocks in a hiring process\n\nHelp interviewers run consistent, fair, and well-structured interviews.\n\nCandidate Experience:\nKeep every candidate informed at every stage, including those we don't hire.\n\nRepresent our mission, culture, and remote work model accurately and with enthusiasm.\n\nMake sure the process feels organized and respectful from first contact to offer.\n\nProcess & Data:\nKeep our applicant tracking system accurate and up to date for every requisition.\n\nTrack and report pipeline health, time to fill, and source effectiveness to the Head of People.\n\nSuggest practical improvements to how we recruit as the team grows.\n\nAbout You\nExperience:\n3 to 5 years of full-cycle recruiting experience, in-house, agency, or both.\n\nA track record of independently managing multiple requisitions at once, from intake to close.\n\nExperience recruiting for technical roles such as software, robotics, or systems engineering.\n\nHands-on experience with at least one applicant tracking system.\n\nBachelor's degree or equivalent professional experience.\n\nSkills:\nStrong sourcing skills, including Boolean search and creative outreach to passive candidates.\n\nSolid understanding of recruiting processes, interview design, and offer negotiation.\n\nClear, warm written and verbal communication with candidates and hiring managers.\n\nHighly organized, operates with a sense of urgency, and follows through to keep many searches moving at once.\n\nComfortable working independently in a fully remote environment.\n\nPreferred Qualifications\nExperience recruiting for defense, aerospace, or government contractors.\n\nExperience at a startup or high-growth company.\n\nExperience with Teamtailor, Juicebox and Rippling\n\nImportant Qualification Note: Due to the nature of our work and federal compliance requirements, this position strictly requires U.S. Citizenship and current residency within the United States. Please note that Permanent Residency (Green Card status) or visa sponsorship cannot satisfy these specific regulatory requirements.\nCompensation\nCompensation for this position includes a target base salary of $80,000 - $120,000 annually, with the specific figure determined by the candidate's experience level.\nWe’re committed to fair and equitable compensation and are happy to explain how we determine our salary ranges, just ask!\nOur Benefits\nBeyond a Competitive Salary, we provide a significant equity stake, aligning your growth with ours.\n\n100% Remote: This role is fully remote, open to residents across the US.
