The posting

Build a safer world with us, one incident at a time.

Ambient.ai is the category creator and leader in Agentic Physical Security. Powered by Ambient Pulsar, the first reasoning Vision-Language Model purpose-built for physical security, our platform seamlessly integrates with existing security cameras and physical access control systems to unify monitoring, access control, threat assessment, response, and investigations through an always-on reasoning layer that augments security operators with superhuman capabilities. The results: 95% fewer false alarms, investigations 20x faster, and 10x faster response.

The momentum speaks for itself: we doubled new ARR in FY26, and have delivered results for world-class customers including Cisco, ServiceNow, SentinelOne, TikTok, Bayer, and MoMA. That kind of momentum creates an environment where great people thrive, and it shows: we recently ranked #71 out of 500 on the Forbes best startup employers list.

Founded in 2017 and backed by Andreessen Horowitz, Y Combinator, and Allegion Ventures, Ambient.ai is on a fast-paced journey to fulfill our mission: prevent every security incident possible.

About the Role:

As a Technical Recruiter, you will partner with our Engineering, Product, and Design (EPD) team to bring extraordinary technical talent to Ambient.ai. You will be a unifier, a culture ambassador, and a trusted partner to your hiring teams and candidates. As a Talent team member, you’ll have a profound impact as we grow the organization.

What You'll Do:

  • Partner strategically with Engineering teams to define talent needs, hiring plans, and sourcing strategies
  • Own full-cycle recruiting from initial sourcing and screening through candidate closing
  • Integrate AI-powered sourcing platforms (e.g., Juicebox) and workflows to accelerate candidate research, outreach, and insights
  • Build domain knowledge across software engineering disciplines to effectively assess technical talent
  • Deliver exceptional candidate experiences while navigating equity conversations and startup growth dynamics
  • Track recruiting metrics, funnel performance, and market intelligence to guide hiring decisions What You'll Bring:
  • Technical recruiting track record: 3+ years of technical recruiting experience, with a proven track record of sourcing, engaging, and hiring top-tier engineering talent
  • AI fluency: Hands-on experience using AI-powered sourcing platforms (Juicebox, SeekOut, or equivalent) and AI assistants (ChatGPT, Claude, etc.) to draft outreach, summarize candidate profiles, conduct market research, and streamline recruiting workflows
  • Full-cycle ownership: A successful track record sourcing and closing technical roles from entry-level to director across a range of engineering disciplines
  • Candidate experience: The ability to build genuine, positive relationships with candidates, hiring managers, and business partners across cultures and time zones
  • Recruiting stack expertise: Experience with Ashby, Juicebox, LinkedIn Recruiter, Metaview and curated platforms such as AngelList — and an eagerness to evaluate and adopt new tools
  • JD & interview design: Ability to craft compelling job descriptions and structured interview guides in partnership with hiring managers
  • Equity fluency: A strong understanding of equity for venture-backed companies, with the ability to articulate its value clearly to candidates
  • Startup DNA: Previous experience at a startup or high-growth environment; you thrive with ambiguity and can take charge without a playbook
  • Data-driven mindset: Highly organized, metrics-focused, and comfortable building and presenting recruiting dashboards and pipeline reports
  • Communication excellence: Phenomenal written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to engage respectfully and effectively with candidates from many different countries and backgrounds
  • Influence & partnership: Proven ability to advise and push back on hiring managers, shape stakeholder decisions, and drive alignment across cross-functional teams

Why join us:

  • We are creating an entirely new category within a 120+ billion-dollar physical security industry, and we're looking for team members who share our mission to prevent every security incident possible
  • We have an impressive customer roster of F500 companies, including Adobe, TikTok, and SentinelOne
  • Regular full-time employees receive stock options for the opportunity to share in the success of our company
  • Comprehensive health + welfare package (Medical, Dental, Vision, Life, EAP, Legal Services, 401k plan)
  • We offer flexible time off to rest and recharge, including Winter Break (time off between Christmas and New Year's for most roles depending on customer demand)
  • The latest tech and awesome swag will be delivered to your door
  • Enjoy a full range of opportunities to connect with your awesome co-workers
  • We love to hike, are foodies, and love music! Check out our most recent Ambient Spotify Playlist

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
