About Andromeda

Andromeda is a market and infrastructure platform to buy, sell, and operate compute.

We believe demand for compute will grow exponentially. So fast that a handful of vertically integrated providers won't be able to scale across operations, capital, supply chains, and politics to serve it. The result is a massive wave of fragmentation, with AI factories of every shape and size coming to market to fill this demand. Our job is to enable all of that fragmented compute to flow through one platform, delivering reliable capacity to model builders, research labs, and inference providers when they need it. We believe every spare electron should be made productive for AI and we're building the platform that makes that possible.

We sit at the center of three forces:

• Companies that need reliable, high-performance compute fast

• A fragmented global supply of GPUs across hyperscalers, neoclouds, and independent data centers

• Capital, risk, and operational complexity that most teams are not equipped to manage

When we succeed, trillions of dollars of compute will flow through Andromeda. Builders get capacity when they need it. Providers get a reliable way to monetize, operate, and finance infrastructure at scale. Capital gets an easy way to deploy, hedge, and underwrite.

In five years, Andromeda won't just participate in the AI infrastructure market. We will shape it.

The Role

We are looking for a hands-on technical recruiter to help build the team behind Andromeda's next stage of growth. You’ll own a focused portfolio of our highest-priority searches, primarily across engineering and AI infrastructure, and work directly with hiring managers from role definition through close.

The people we need are rarely waiting for a recruiter to contact them, and nearly all of them have strong alternatives. Success requires more than working through a familiar list of companies or sending polished outreach at scale. You’ll need to find talent in places others overlook, understand what motivates each person, tell a compelling and credible story about Andromeda, and close candidates who could otherwise choose to work at leading labs and neoclouds.

This is not a coordination role or a strategy-only leadership position. You’ll also raise the quality of how we hire: sharper prioritization, stronger calibration, faster decisions, and reliable recruiting data.

The role begins as an individual contributor. As Andromeda and the hiring plan grow, there will be room to shape the recruiting function and take on broader ownership.

What You'll Own

• Critical technical searches: Run full-cycle recruiting for a focused set of high-priority roles, from intake and talent mapping through assessment, references, offer, and close.

• Creative sourcing: Build targeted pipelines through original research, unconventional channels, direct outreach, referrals, and long-term relationship development. Keep finding new ways to reach exceptional people rather than relying on inbound applicants, agencies, or the same obvious talent pools.

• Hiring manager partnership: Run disciplined pipeline reviews, build high-trust relationships with hiring managers, and make tough judgment calls together.

• Storytelling and closing: Turn Andromeda's technical work and ambition into a clear, compelling story. Tailor that story to what matters to each candidate, build conviction throughout the process, and lead the close when they are choosing among strong alternatives.

• Recruiting operations: Keep Ashby accurate and useful, use data to identify bottlenecks and constantly iterate, and experiment with AI to build tools that can power a world-class recruiting machine.

What We're Looking For

• A record of exceptional technical hiring: You have 5+ years of recruiting experience and have competed for engineering talent and won against the most established and desirable technology companies on earth.

• Early-stage range: You have succeeded in a fast-growing startup or similarly demanding environment where priorities change, resources are limited, and the recruiter must do the work directly.

• Creative sourcing ability: You can map a market, uncover strong candidates outside the obvious channels, write outreach that earns responses, and keep experimenting when the standard playbook stops working.

• Strong judgment and influence: Hiring managers see you as a partner. You can challenge a brief, improve an interview process, create urgency without relying on formal authority, and maintain the operating discipline needed to keep several important searches moving.

• Exceptional storytelling and closing ability: You learn unfamiliar technical domains quickly, explain why the work matters without overselling it, adapt the pitch to the person in front of you, and have repeatedly closed sought-after candidates in competitive situations.

This Role May Not Be a Fit If

• You are looking primarily to manage a recruiting team or advise from a distance; this role is hands-on.

• Your recruiting model depends heavily on inbound volume or outside agencies.

• You prefer to treat every open role as equally urgent rather than making explicit tradeoffs around the company's most important hires.

Strong Candidates May Have

• Built or helped build the recruiting function at an early-stage technology company.

• Recruited for AI infrastructure, distributed systems, cloud infrastructure, developer tools, or another deeply technical field.

• Closed senior and staff-level engineers against larger, better-known companies.

Why You'll Love It Here

• Work that matters: The people you hire will build the infrastructure that frontier AI companies depend on.

• Real ownership: You’ll work directly with company leaders and influence both who joins Andromeda and how we make hiring decisions.

• A company scaling quickly: You’ll join at a moment when recruiting quality and speed will materially shape the business.

• Competitive compensation and meaningful equity: Share in the value you help create.

• Comprehensive benefits: Healthcare, dental, and vision coverage for you and your dependents, a 401(k), and unlimited PTO.
