Senior Technical Recruiter
Cerebras, San Francisco, CA, United States
Senior Technical Recruiter
Location:
United States (Bay Area preferred - Hybrid)
Experience:
6–10+ Years
Type:
Individual Contributor
About the Role
We are looking for an exceptional Senior Technical Recruiter to join our Talent team. This is a full-cycle, individual contributor role responsible for driving end-to-end recruitment for technical positions across the organization, with a focus on AI, ML, and agentic engineering talent.
The ideal candidate is a strategic operator — someone who recruits with the end in mind, builds trusted relationships with executive stakeholders, and closes competitive offers without flinching. You bring deep sourcing expertise, strong market instincts, and a data-driven approach to every search. You have a track record at companies people recognize, long tenures that reflect real ownership, and the startup experience to thrive in a high‑velocity, high‑ambiguity environment.
This is not a requisition‑processing role. We are looking for someone who treats recruiting as a craft and AI as a competitive advantage.
What You'll Do
Own and manage the full recruitment lifecycle for technical roles, with particular depth in AI, ML, agentic systems, and software engineering
Partner directly with executive and senior hiring managers to run structured intake meetings, define hiring strategy, and align on success criteria
Build proactive, multi‑channel sourcing strategies using LinkedIn Recruiter, GitHub, Boolean search, talent mapping, referral networks, and AI‑powered sourcing tools
Screen and evaluate candidates for both technical capability and cultural alignment
Manage the interview process end‑to‑end, ensuring a consistent and high‑quality candidate experience
Drive stakeholder alignment and influence hiring decisions at the executive level with data, market intelligence, and clear point‑of‑view
Lead offer negotiations and candidate closing conversations, including managing competing offers, counter‑offer scenarios, and complex compensation structures
Provide ongoing market intelligence: compensation benchmarks, talent mapping, competitor hiring trends, and AI talent landscape shifts
Track and report on pipeline metrics, conversion rates, and time‑to‑fill; maintain rigorous ATS hygiene (Greenhouse preferred)
Champion AI‑forward recruiting practices — actively evaluate and adopt tools that improve sourcing quality, pipeline efficiency, and candidate assessment
Continuously improve hiring processes for speed, quality, and equity
What We're Looking For
Experience
6–10+ years of full‑cycle technical recruiting experience, with at least 3 years in a senior or lead individual contributor capacity
Demonstrated success hiring for Engineering, AI/ML, Agentic Systems, Data, or Security roles in competitive markets
Proven experience influencing executive‑level stakeholders and partnering with senior hiring managers as a strategic advisor
Meaningful tenure at previous employers reflecting real ownership and investment in outcomes, not frequent role‑hopping
Startup or high‑growth experience preferred; comfort with ambiguity, shifting priorities, and building process where little exists
US‑based hiring experience required; global hiring exposure a strong plus
Core Competencies
Technical / Hard Skills
End‑to‑end technical recruiting with a specialization in AI/ML or agentic engineering talent
Advanced sourcing expertise: Boolean search, LinkedIn Recruiter, GitHub, talent mapping, and AI‑assisted sourcing tools
Offer negotiation and candidate closing, including competing offer management and counter‑offer inoculation
Data‑driven recruiting: pipeline metrics, conversion tracking, capacity planning, and reporting to leadership
Market intelligence: compensation benchmarking, talent landscape analysis, competitor insights
ATS proficiency (Greenhouse preferred)
Soft Skills
Executive presence and the ability to influence senior stakeholders with data and clear recommendations
Strategic problem‑solving — you diagnose root causes, not just symptoms
Strong ownership mindset: you treat every open role as your own business problem to solve
High resilience and accountability; you close what you open
Comfort operating at startup speed with limited support infrastructure
Intellectual curiosity about AI and its implications for the talent landscape
Ideal Background
AI‑first companies or AI research organizations
High‑growth technology startups (Series B through IPO)
SaaS or product‑led technology companies
Enterprise technology firms with rigorous technical hiring standards
The strongest candidates will have a clear arc — serious companies, meaningful tenures, progressively complex roles — and will be able to speak credibly about the AI talent market, not just navigate a requisition queue.
Compensation
Compensation:
$140,000–$175,000+ base
Actual compensation will be determined based on experience, skills, and qualifications. Turing is an equal opportunity employer.
