Description

About Us Squint is the Industrial Intelligence Platform, built for the workers who build the things you touch and see every single day. We're the only solution that brings together all the context of an industrial organization into a custom industrial knowledge graph, unique to every customer. Building with AI and AR, that foundation powers the workflows and applications that put the right information in frontline operators' hands on the factory floor and in the field, exactly when and where they need it. Proven Impact with Industry Leaders Our technology serves Fortune 500 leaders across manufacturing, field services, and utilities. These companies trust Squint to capture and activate their essential operational know-how, resulting in measurable improvements: reduced downtime, minimized waste, and optimized productivity at scale. Backed and Built by the Best We raised a $40m Series B at a $265m valuation and are backed by elite investors including Sequoia Capital, Menlo Ventures, TCV and The Westly Group. Our co-founders have been recognized on Forbes' 30 Under 30 for Manufacturing and Industry, and Fast Company named us one of the most innovative augmented and virtual reality companies of 2026. About the Role We're hiring our a Talent Lead to build Squint's recruiting function from the ground up. You'll own full-cycle recruiting for priority roles across the company while building the systems, process, and employer brand that let Squint compete for talent in a crowded AI market. This is a builder's role: part hands-on recruiter, part function architect. What You’ll Do Recruit, hands-on: You'll run full-cycle recruiting — sourcing, screening, closing — for some of Squint's most important open roles, across Engineering, GTM, and beyond. Build the machine: You'll stand up the process, tooling (ATS, scorecards, interview training), and metrics that let Squint hire well as we scale, not just hire fast. Partner with hiring managers: You'll translate fuzzy headcount plans into clear hiring strategies and calibrated bars, and coach hiring managers and interviewers along the way. Build the brand: You'll sharpen how Squint shows up to candidates — on LinkedIn, at events, in every recruiting conversation — so the best people want to work here. Lay the groundwork for People: Where it makes sense, you'll extend into broader People Ops — onboarding, systems, early performance processes — as Squint's People function takes shape. About you You've built a recruiting function before, not just staffed one. You move fast, but you don't cut corners on candidate experience or hiring bar. You're comfortable partnering directly with founders and executives on their most important hires. You thrive in ambiguity and enjoy building process where none exists yet. What You’ll Bring 6+ years of recruiting experience, including experience building or scaling a recruiting function at a high-growth startup. A track record of full-cycle recruiting across technical and go-to-market roles. Strong stakeholder management skills, including experience partnering with senior leaders. Familiarity with modern recruiting/ATS tooling (Ashby, Greenhouse, or similar). Benefits Based out of our office in San Francisco, we love the energy of in-person collaboration.
