About AegisAI

We are a team of ex-Google engineers who built some of the largest defensive platforms on the planet—Safe Browsing (protecting 5B+ devices) and reCAPTCHA (protecting millions of websites). Now, backed by top-tier investors including Battery Ventures ($36M Series A), Accel, and Foundation Capital, we are striking out on our own to solve the next existential threat: Adversarial AI.

Old-school, rules-based email security systems are defenseless against modern, AI-powered attacks that evolve in real time. At AegisAI, we aren't just "using AI"—we are building a distributed network of high-precision AI Agents designed to outpace and outthink attackers.

Your Mission: Build the Elite Engine

Top talent is the single greatest multiplier of our growth. As a Technical Recruiter at AegisAI, your mission is simple: identify, attract, and hire exceptional builders across Engineering, GTM/Sales, and Operations.

You won’t be a passive recruiter waiting for applicants to roll in through an ATS. You will be a relentless talent partner who operates at startup speed, mapping markets, hunting high-caliber candidates, and pitching AegisAI’s vision to people who are already at the top 1% of their current roles.

This is a high-visibility role where execution directly dictates how fast we can scale.

What You’ll Do

Own Full-Cycle Recruiting: Drive talent pipelines from initial outbound reach to offer negotiation across key business vectors: Engineering & AI, GTM/Sales, and Operations.
Hunt Top 1% Talent: Run hyper-personalized, creative outbound sourcing campaigns across LinkedIn, GitHub, X, networks, and unconventional channels to engage top technical and GTM talent.
Partner directly with Founders & Leaders: Work directly with founders, engineering managers, and sales leaders to define ideal candidate profiles, establish hiring bars, and run fast feedback loops.
Master the AegisAI Pitch: Clearly articulate our tech stack, mission, and category-defining opportunity to technical candidates and sales drivers alike.
Drive Velocity: Think in days, not weeks. Maintain high-touch candidate experiences, drive tight interview schedules, and remove operational friction to close candidates fast.
Build Talent Infrastructure: Continuously test sourcing approaches, refine candidate evaluation processes, and leverage AI tools to automate workflow drag and speed up your pipeline.

Why This Is Hard (and Why It’s Fun)

The Bar Is Extremely High: We only hire top performers. You’ll be sourcing for elite engineering standards (ex-Google, Tier-1 AI labs) and top-tier SaaS sales talent who can handle high-complexity technical products.
Zero Playbook: In an early-stage, Series A startup, priorities shift quickly. You won't have a massive talent team or pre-packaged playbooks—you will help build the system as we run.
Relentless Market: High-caliber AI and security candidates receive dozens of recruiter messages a week. You’ll need creativity, speed, and real hustle to cut through the noise.

Why We’ll Win

Proven Founding Team: Our founders have built internet-scale security systems protecting billions of users, alongside serial entrepreneurs who know how to scale companies.
Massive Category: We’re disrupting a $5B+ email security market that incumbents are too slow to protect.
High Density of Talent: High bar for talent, zero tolerance for bureaucracy or politics.
Fast Execution: Development and hiring cycles are measured in days, giving you the backing to close top talent quickly.

What We’re Looking For

1–3 years of recruiting experience in a fast-paced agency, venture-backed startup, or high-growth tech environment.
Multi-Disciplinary Sourcing: Proven track record sourcing for technical roles (Software Engineers, AI/ML Infrastructure, Threat Detection) AND/OR business roles (AEs, BDRs, Ops).
High Agency & Relentless Execution: You are a self-starter who doesn't wait for perfect instructions—you test, adapt, and hit pipeline targets.
Technical & Business Literacy: You can talk shop with complex backend engineers and understand sales quotas and territory motions with GTM leaders.
Scrappy & Adaptive: Comfort experimenting with modern AI tools, modern sourcing platforms, and rapid-fire workflows.
Proven Track Record: Demonstrated history of sourcing, pitching, and successfully closing top-tier technical and commercial talent at this level.

Bonus Points

Experience at an early-stage (Seed through Series B) SaaS or AI startup.
Prior experience in cybersecurity, infrastructure, or technical AI domains.
Network depth across San Francisco, NYC, or major US tech hubs.

Our Culture

Flat, fast, and founder-led.
Clear KPIs, full ownership, and direct accountability.
Rapid iteration—what works ships immediately.
You’ll have a visible, lasting impact on the company’s trajectory from day one.
