Responsible for technical recruiting, sourcing, and hiring exceptional people in engineering, ML, and AI roles at Krea.

Build pipelines through direct outreach, communities, events, and referrals — including channels most recruiters don't use.
Evaluate candidates with real technical depth: read their repos, research, and past work.
Run the full process: screening, scheduling, offers, and closing.
Track the talent landscape to understand where strong people are, how the market is moving, what candidates care about.
Write job descriptions and shape the candidate experience so the outside world understands who we are.

At Krea, we are building next-generation AI creative tools. We are dedicated to making AI intuitive and controllable for creatives. Our mission is to build tools that empower human creativity, not replace it.
We've raised over $83M, backed by a16z and Bain Capital. We work in-person at our waterfront office in San Francisco.
We're a small team and we want to hire exceptional people across infra, backend, AI research, and product. You'll work directly with the founders to find those people and run a fast, thoughtful hiring process end to end.
4+ years of technical recruiting experience closing strong engineering, ML, or AI candidates. You should be able to look at a GitHub profile or research paper and form a real opinion. You're organized, fast, and don't let things fall through the cracks.
Strong candidates may have experience with…
Sourcing across industry, academia, and less obvious corners of the internet
Building or maintaining a strong network in ML / AI / infra
Early-stage or founder-led hiring
Evaluating technical work directly - architecture decisions, experiments, research
