The posting

About Thinking Machines

The mission of Thinking Machines is to build AI that extends human will and judgment. We are training frontier models with Inkling, developing Tinker to let people make models their own, and crafting interfaces that broaden human-AI communication. We believe the future worth building is human, and we're hiring people who want to build it.

About the Role

We're hiring a Recruiting Sourcer to build the pipeline of exceptional research and engineering talent that will define the next generation of AI. You'll partner closely with recruiters, hiring managers, and our technical leaders to identify, engage, and build relationships with candidates across research, engineering, and infrastructure.

This role is foundational to our growth. You'll need to think creatively about where to find rare technical talent, craft outreach that resonates with researchers and engineers who aren't actively looking, and help us build a sourcing function from the ground up at a fast-moving startup.

What You’ll Do

  • Build and manage a pipeline of candidates across research, engineering, and infrastructure roles, using creative and diverse sourcing channels
  • Partner with recruiters and hiring managers to deeply understand role requirements and translate them into effective sourcing strategies
  • Write and send personalized outreach that engages passive candidates, including senior researchers and engineers
  • Track pipeline metrics and sourcing effectiveness, and iterate on strategy based on what's working
  • Represent Thinking Machines' mission and culture authentically to prospective candidates throughout the sourcing process
  • Help build and refine our sourcing tools, processes, and infrastructure as the team scales

Skills and Qualifications

Minimum qualifications:

  • 3+ years of sourcing or recruiting experience, ideally supporting technical roles in AI labs or tech startups
  • Track record of successfully identifying and engaging passive technical candidates, including researchers and engineers
  • Excellent written communication skills, with the ability to craft compelling, personalized outreach

Preferred qualifications:

  • Familiarity with the AI/ML research landscape, including key labs, conferences, and communities
  • Experience using sourcing tools and platforms (e.g., LinkedIn Recruiter, GitHub, academic search tools)
  • Experience building sourcing processes and infrastructure at an early-stage or fast-scaling company
  • Comfort operating with significant autonomy and adapting quickly as priorities shift

Logistics

  • Location: This role is based in San Francisco, CA.
  • Compensation: Depending on background, skills and experience, the expected annual salary range for this position is $200,000 - $275,000 USD.
  • Visa sponsorship: We sponsor visas. While we can't guarantee success for every candidate or role, if you're the right fit, we're committed to working through the visa process together.
  • Benefits: Thinking Machines offers generous health, dental, and vision benefits, unlimited PTO, paid parental leave, and relocation support as needed.

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.
