About Cartesia
Our mission is to architect AI that learns from and interacts with the world like humans do.
We're pioneering the model architectures that will make this possible. Our founding team met as PhDs at the Stanford AI Lab, where we invented State Space Models or SSMs, a new primitive for training efficient, large-scale foundation models. Our team combines deep expertise in model innovation and systems engineering paired with a design-minded product engineering team to build and ship cutting edge models and experiences.
We're funded by leading investors at Index Ventures and Lightspeed Venture Partners, along with Factory, Conviction, A Star, General Catalyst, SV Angel, Databricks and others. We're fortunate to have the support of many amazing advisors, and 90+ angels across many industries, including the world's foremost experts in AI.

About the Role
As a Technical Sourcer, you will be the engine for our growth as a leading foundation model company, responsible for identifying and engaging world-class technical talent. This is an incredibly hands-on role, where you’ll be expected to not only source, but to screen and manage candidates through the process, as well as lead on strategic hiring initiatives alongside Recruiting.
Your Impact
Strategic Talent Mapping: Develop and execute innovative sourcing strategies to identify and attract top-tier talent for roles in Research/ML Engineering, Platform & Software Engineering and Product Engineering
Creative Sourcing: Go beyond LinkedIn. Utilize a variety of channels including academic conferences (NeurIPS, ICML, ICLR), research publications (arXiv, Google Scholar), open-source communities (GitHub, Hugging Face), and professional networks to find exceptional candidates.
Pipeline Generation: Build and maintain a robust pipeline of qualified, passive candidates for current and future hiring needs, ensuring a healthy influx of talent for our most critical roles.
Personalized Outreach: Craft compelling, personalized, and authentic outreach messages that resonate with a highly technical and sought-after audience. You understand that a generic message won't work.
Candidate Engagement: Act as the first point of contact for candidates entering the process with Cartesia, to deliver an exceptional candidate experience
Partnership: Collaborate closely with Recruiting and hiring managers to understand the precise technical requirements and nuances of each role, continuously calibrating your search.
What You Bring
2-5 years of experience in technical sourcing, with a focus on Engineering hiring
A proven ability to source for highly specialized technical roles. You are comfortable discussing concepts related to machine learning, deep learning, NLP, or large-scale systems
A track record of leveraging sourcing techniques including Boolean search, talent mapping, and navigating complex online ecosystems to uncover talent
Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to craft messages that are both technically credible and personally engaging
A relentless drive to find the best talent and a deep curiosity about the AI landscape that fuels your search.
Meticulous attention to detail and experience using applicant tracking systems (ATS) and other recruiting software to manage candidate pipelines.
Note: Cartesia participates in E-Verify and will provide the federal government with Form I-9 information to confirm employment eligibility after hire.
