The posting

Rockstar is recruiting for a well-funded, early-stage company building AI workers for back-office departments in American manufacturing. The client is backed by a16z Speedrun and angels from Brex, Xwing, and Betterment. The company's mission is to revitalize an industry and rebuild America's manufacturing backbone by helping US manufacturers move faster, grow, and compete globally.

The Role

This is a true 0→1 recruiting role. The recruiter will build the team that builds the company. The recruiter will own full-cycle recruiting across engineering and go-to-market: sourcing, pipeline, candidate experience, and close. The recruiter will be hands-on and high-volume, and will set the bar for how the company hires as it scales from a small founding team to many.

The recruiter will work directly with the founders and hiring managers to define what "great" looks like for each role, run a fast and thoughtful process, and give every candidate an experience that reflects how much the company cares about the team. This is a seat for a builder who wants to shape a company through the people they bring in.

What the Recruiter Will Do

  • Partners with founders and hiring managers to define scorecards, ideal profiles, and a rigorous interview process for every open role
  • Builds targeted pipelines for engineering and GTM roles through creative sourcing, referrals, communities, and highly personalized outreach
  • Owns the candidate journey end-to-end, from first contact and screening through interviews, references, offer, and close
  • Assesses candidates against role outcomes and values, synthesizes evidence clearly, and continually calibrates the hiring bar with the team
  • Runs a fast, thoughtful process with excellent communication, tight scheduling, and a candidate experience that reflects how the company operates
  • Instruments the recruiting funnel, forecasts hiring progress, finds bottlenecks, and builds repeatable systems that help the team scale

Who the Candidate Is

  • Has full-cycle recruiting experience, ideally technical
  • Is an excellent sourcer who can find and engage top talent others miss
  • Is sharp on candidate experience and moves fast without dropping the ball
  • Is organized and data-driven about their pipeline
  • Is low-ego and collaborative with hiring managers
  • Cares about the company's mission, and wants to see the American manufacturing base get stronger
  • Is excited to work in person 5 days a week in the NYC office, with a founder and growth mindset

Bonus Points

  • Has recruited engineers at a startup or high-growth company
  • Has built a sourcing or hiring process from scratch
  • Uses AI tooling to accelerate sourcing, screening, and outreach
  • Has experience recruiting across both technical and GTM roles

About the Company

The company's mission is to revitalize an industry and rebuild America's manufacturing backbone.

America builds satellites, jet engines, and semiconductors with world-class precision, but the software running factory offices is decades behind. Estimators, procurement teams, and accountants still lose hours to spreadsheets, PDFs, and manual data entry.

The company builds AI workers for back office departments like quoting, purchasing, invoicing, and sales coordination. By removing back-office bottlenecks, the company helps US manufacturers move faster, grow, and compete globally.

The company is backed by a16z Speedrun and angels from Brex, Xwing, and Betterment. The company is rebuilding the digital foundation of American manufacturing and invites candidates to join.

The Founders

Co-Founder & CEO — Began his career at Acer and Northrop Grumman, then advised industrial companies at Bain. At Xwing, he helped scale the company and led GTM through its acquisition by Joby Aviation. He holds an MBA from Stanford and a BA from USC.

Co-Founder & CTO — Began his career at Meta, founded a YC-backed startup, and joined a media company after its acquisition. He later became a founding engineer on a major spend management product and led its engineering organization. He holds a BS in Computer Science from USC.

How the Company Works

  • Works in person every day in NYC for high-bandwidth collaboration
  • Talks to users constantly: the company builds with manufacturers, not for them
  • Owns outcomes end-to-end and drives solutions without waiting for permission

The Company's Values

  • Here to Win: The company is building to help American manufacturers, its customers, the company, and its teammates win at the highest level.
  • There's Always a Way: The company is relentlessly resourceful, takes ownership of constraints, and finds a path forward when others stop.
  • Truth Over Comfort: The company chooses honesty over ego, surfaces reality quickly, and changes course when the facts demand it.
  • Act Now: The company moves fast, trusts its instincts, and corrects course as it goes.
  • Step Up: The company acts like founders, fills gaps, fixes problems, and follows through until the work is done.
  • The Team. The Team. The Team.: The company puts the team first, pushes and supports each other, shares wins, and owns failures together.

Comp & Benefits

Base salary $140,000–$180,000 depending on level and experience, plus the opportunity to receive meaningful early-stage equity ($15,000–$70,000 per year) in the company. The role also includes great healthcare coverage, dinner provided at the office, and unlimited Celsius.

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

  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
