Company mission
To provide a simple API to a problem that typically takes our customers more than a year to build in house.
Role
Who you are
- You want to take full ownership of our technical recruiting motion
- You are looking for a rapid learning experience and senior-level responsibilities
- You have an unreasonably high standard for the people you work with, and want to recruit the best engineers in the world
- Why You Shouldn’t Join:
- You are not ready for the occasional 60 hour work week
- You are not comfortable working without clear structure
- You are not ready for a risky career opportunity. Even with our growth, we are still an early-stage startup. If you need something more predictable, this is not the right fit
- You’re not actively excited about working specifically with engineers
- Deep curiosity about what motivates candidates and about what differentiates a great engineer from a truly excellent engineer
- Strong zeal to learn the nuances of software development
- Demonstrated creativity in finding top candidates wherever they are. For example, while hiring engineers, you might have:
- Read engineering blogs
- Written an engineering blog
- Posted on Hacker News
- Hosted events, meetups and hackathons
- Bonus points if you've done something we haven't even thought of!
- Full lifecycle technical recruiting experience at high growth tech startups
Desirable
- Were an engineer, studied engineering, or have a technical background
- Have previously founded your own startup
- Have worked at a developer tools or software infrastructure company
What the job involves
- Our #1 priority today is to build an extraordinarily strong engineering team. We operate critical infrastructure for our 700+ customers, including public companies, and the difficulty of the problem domain means that we’re extremely selective in our engineering hiring
- As the first recruiter at the company you will have total ownership and creative freedom to convince the best engineers in the world to join our team
- Build out our technical recruitment process from the ground up
- Be given autonomy and full resources needed to find the top 1% of engineers
- Work directly with the founders and engineering leads to set high level strategy
- Triple our engineering headcount, while maintaining an extremely high talent bar
- Knowledge of our tech is not necessary, but if you're curious, we use:
- API Frontend: Django
- Real-time Video Processing: Rust
- Database: Postgres
- Infrastructure: Kubernetes running on AWS EKS. All infrastructure managed through Terraform
Our take
Recall.ai provides a universal API for meeting bots across platforms like Zoom and Microsoft Teams. This API enables companies to capture and process data from virtual meetings, facilitating the development of AI-powered tools such as sales coaching bots and automated meeting note-takers.
What sets Recall.ai apart is its ability to streamline a complex integration process, typically requiring extensive time and resources, into a simple, scalable solution. This infrastructure is comparable to cloud computing services, offering a foundational layer upon which other companies can build their AI-driven products.
Recall.ai has achieved significant success, evidenced by exceptional growth and an impressive annual recurring revenue. With backing from Y Combinator and a strong Series A funding round, the company is expanding its team and enhancing its integrations, positioning itself at the forefront of the AI and remote work transformation.
