About Sygaldry

Sygaldry Technologies is building quantum-accelerated AI servers to exponentially speed up training and inference for AI. By integrating quantum and AI, we're accelerating the path to superintelligence, and addressing the problem of rising compute costs and energy bottlenecks. Sygaldry AI servers combine multiple qubit types within a single, fault-tolerant architecture to deliver the combination of cost, scale, and speed necessary for advanced AI applications. We pioneer new domains in physics, engineering, and AI, tackling the hardest challenges with a grounded, optimistic, and rigorous culture. We're looking for individuals ready to define the intersection of quantum and AI and drive its profound global impact.

About the Role:

Sygaldry is seeking a highly motivated Director of Talent to help build world-class teams at the intersection of quantum computing and artificial intelligence. This role will focus on identifying, engaging, and closing exceptional technical talent across AI research, quantum computing, software engineering, and systems architecture.

We're looking for an experienced recruiter who thrives in competitive talent markets, knows how to engage hard-to-reach candidates, and can build meaningful relationships with top technical talent. You'll partner closely with hiring managers and company leadership to drive hiring strategies and deliver an exceptional candidate experience.

What You’ll Work On:

  • Own full-cycle recruiting for highly specialized technical roles across quantum computing, AI research, and engineering.
  • Proactively identify, source, and engage passive candidates through creative sourcing strategies, targeted outreach, and industry networks.
  • Develop and execute recruiting strategies to attract top talent from leading AI companies, research institutions, quantum computing organizations, and technology startups.
  • Build strong candidate relationships, effectively communicate Sygaldry's mission and opportunities, and successfully close candidates in competitive hiring situations.
  • Partner closely with hiring managers and technical leadership to understand hiring needs, define candidate profiles, and develop effective search strategies.
  • Manage candidates throughout the recruiting process, including screening, interview coordination, offer development, negotiation, and closing.
  • Build and maintain talent pipelines for current and future hiring needs.
  • Provide market intelligence on talent availability, compensation trends, and competitive hiring practices.
  • Continuously improve recruiting processes, sourcing effectiveness, and the overall candidate experience.

You May Be a Good Fit If You

  • 10+ years of full-cycle recruiting experience, with a strong emphasis on technical sourcing and candidate closing.
  • Demonstrated success recruiting highly specialized technical talent in quantum computing, AI, machine learning, advanced hardware, or related deep-tech industries.
  • Proven ability to identify and engage passive candidates in highly competitive talent markets.
  • Strong track record of closing senior-level and hard-to-fill technical positions.
  • Experience partnering directly with senior technical leaders, researchers, and hiring managers.
  • Excellent communication, relationship-building, and negotiation skills.
  • Resourceful, proactive, and comfortable working independently in a fast-paced, evolving environment.
  • Strong organizational skills and ability to manage multiple searches simultaneously.
  • Experience recruiting AI researchers, quantum physicists, research scientists, or specialized systems engineers.
  • Established networks within AI research, quantum computing, or frontier technology communities.
  • Experience recruiting for an early-stage or high-growth technology startup.
  • Familiarity with academic research communities, technical conferences, and alternative sourcing channels.
  • Experience recruiting talent internationally.

We prioritize mission over ego and collaborate openly with a strong sense of shared purpose. We dream big, yet we execute with a love of detail.

Why it works

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.
