Founding Recruiter

The role:

Great startups are built by great people - nothing is more important.

We’re hiring a Founding Recruiter to build the team that builds Mach9. You’ll lead hiring across engineering and go-to-market. You’ll work directly with the CEO and CTO and help define how we scale.

You’ll be one of the most important hires we make.

This role is perfect for a relentless, high-output sourcer or early-career recruiter who’s looking to step into an ownership role at a fast-growing startup.

How you’ll impact Mach9:

• Recruit world-class colleagues across tech and GTM

• Source, pitch, coordinate, and close top talent

• Keep candidates warm, informed, and moving fast

• Represent Mach9 as the face of our company at events, conferences, and online

• Experiment with campaigns, AI tools, and outreach tactics
  

About you

• 1-3 years of sourcing experience, either for hardcore engineering or stellar go-to-market teams. We’ll teach you how to recruit for the other side

• Proven ability to find and engage top talent

• Strong communicator - clear, concise, and persuasive, with immaculate attention to detail

• Highly organized, fast-moving, and accountable

• Comfortable with change, chaos, and startup speed

• Comfort with a modern recruiting stack (eg Ashby, LinkedIn) and experimenting with new AI tools
  

How we’ll support you:

• Direct reporting to the CEO and CTO for fast decisions and tight feedback loops

• Authority to shape our brand and run experimental recruiting campaigns

• Coaching and support from top-tier advisors

• Ashby + LinkedIn Recruiter + whatever AI tools you want
