Technical Recruiter

Who We Are

Hyperbolic Labs is on a mission to democratize AI by breaking down the barriers to computing power with our Open-Access AI Cloud. By making better use of idle computing resources across the globe, we offer an innovative GPU marketplace and AI inference service that promise affordability and accessibility for all. As pioneers at the intersection of AI and open-source technology, we believe in an open future where AI innovation is limited only by imagination, not by access to resources. We're looking for forward-thinking individuals who share our passion for making AI universally accessible, secure, and affordable. Join us in building a platform that empowers innovators everywhere to turn their visionary AI projects into reality.

About the Role

We're scaling from roughly 30 to 70–100 people over the next 6–12 months, and most of those hires are engineers. As our Technical Recruiter, you'll own full-cycle searches for infrastructure, distributed systems, AI/ML and GPU cloud roles. You'll report to our Head of Talent and partner directly with founders and engineering leaders. This is a hands-on role: you'll spend most of your time sourcing, engaging and closing great technical talent, and you'll help shape the recruiting engine as we build it.

Hyperbolic is an equal opportunity employer. We celebrate diversity and are committed to creating an inclusive environment for all employees.
