OVERVIEW

SparkAI is on a mission to accelerate the proliferation of automation and robotics. We're starting by addressing the most expensive and pervasive barrier to scale – AI edge cases – with an API-based service that resolves machine learning exceptions live, in production.

Founded by veterans of the autonomous vehicle industry (Zoox, Uber ATG, Apple, Otto), SparkAI is changing how companies are solving problems on the path to commercialization, empowering the most ambitious teams to deliver groundbreaking automation products sooner than ever.

SparkAI is seeking a lead recruiter to take us from stealth to scale. You will play a lead role – the catalyst for exponential growth – in bringing on board true leaders, builders, movers and shakers for the journey ahead. As an early member of the recruiting team, you will be vital in defining our approach to engaging with talent, securing key strategic hires, and laying the foundations of our company's culture, camaraderie, and character. We are looking for an individual who can act as a brand ambassador for the company, deeply values the candidate experience, and is excited to join a high-growth startup environment dedicated to solving important problems in automation and robotics today. 

We are a lean and mean team with a high bar for excellence. If you believe revolutionary automation and robotics products shouldn't have to wait for the next AI breakthrough, join us – and let's show the world how. We look forward to meeting you!
