Description
Talent Acquisition Lead, Engineering
"This is the most exciting time in history to build." — Sam Altman
We're building the company that will redefine email with applied AI. We grew from $1M to $30M ARR last year with a technical team of 12. We're forecasting $100M ARR by the end of 2026.
There will be a $10B+ company in this space.
It will be us if we stay focused.
What We're Building
We are solving the biggest problem in modern work: email.
Not by bolting AI onto a SaaS tool — but by being a pure-play applied AI company.
We build AI-generated email drafts that get better over time using context from meetings, inbox, and messages. Today, 53% of the drafts we generate are sent.
Focus creates great products. We are relentlessly focused.
The role
This is not a traditional TA role.
You are the person who ensures that as Fyxer scales from 20 to 50+ engineers, every single hire raises the bar. You will own engineering recruitment end-to-end — partnering directly with the CTO to find, attract, and close the exceptional people who will define what we build next.
Your job is simple to describe and incredibly hard to do:
"Build the highest-performing engineering team in Europe, one hire at a time."
