Founding Technical Recruiter
Early-stage defense AI company. Arlington, Virginia.
Arlington, Virginia. Onsite.
Full-time employee.
We build the vendor-neutral operating system for agentic AI in high-consequence environments. In our first ten months we won four fully competed prime contracts across the U.S. Government, every one of them deploying into classified spaces. We are live on JWICS. We were selected from a field of 200+ companies for a defense innovation challenge and won it. We beat two established defense primes on the same program and earned the follow-on, now in execution.
We are hiring across engineering, GTM, product, design, operations, and security. Most of what we need is technical, and much of it is cleared.
You are the first recruiter in the building. You are not inheriting a sourcing engine, a warm pipeline, or proven outbound messaging. You are building them, with the founding team beside you rather than above you. Leadership runs executive search and owns the interview loops. You own everything that fills them, from first touch to signed offer.
If you have spent a few years in a full-desk seat closing hard roles and you are looking for the job where you build the function instead of working someone else's, this is that job.
You hire the people who beat the primes.
Someone who needs a defined playbook. Someone who works inbound and waits for the pipeline to fill itself. Someone who wants to manage a recruiting team on day one, because there isn't one yet.

Why This Role
