Technical Recruiter

About Powerset

Powerset is creating the market for founder-led investing. Our goal is to scale “founders backing founders” to over $100B in profits for our partners.

How we operate: 

We’re founders first. We run Powerset like a company—not an investment firm. Most of our headcount is engineering. We build systems to automate investment sourcing, go-to-market and recruiting, rigorously track outcomes, and then productionize and make publicly available what works.

About the Role

You’ll embed with our top portfolio companies as a full-cycle recruiter, hands-on and deeply integrated in their hiring. From companies like Modal, Braintrust and OpenCode, to new companies we’re adding weekly, you’ll become a trusted hiring partner to some of the most exciting frontier companies.

You’ll also be integral in building out and becoming a power user of our AI-powered platform for recruiting and GTM, pressure-testing it daily, shaping the roadmap, and helping our engineering team extend and polish it into something the market hasn’t seen yet.

What you’ll do: 

  • Recruit across technical roles for our top portfolio founders
  • Collaborate with our engineering team to redefine recruiting from the ground up — you won’t just work the role, you’ll help build what it becomes

What you’ll bring:

  • Full-cycle recruiting chops 
  • High agency
  • Excitement to explore new, more automated recruiting strategies
  • Systems and metrics mindset
  • Crisp communication
  • Service obsession; trusted to represent founders in sensitive contexts

Compensation and Benefits 

Annual salary of $120-200k + carried interest in investments + equity in Powerset. 
Standard health, vision, and dental benefits.
