Founding Recruiter

We're hiring our first in-house recruiter to lead the charge in scaling our world-class team. This is a foundational role: you'll build our recruiting engine from scratch, own full-cycle hiring across technical and GTM roles, and partner directly with the founding team to define and execute on talent strategy. We're looking for someone who thrives in early-stage chaos, loves building systems, and is excited to attract the kind of people who want to build what hasn't been built before. Your Mission 🚀 * Own end-to-end recruiting across all functions (engineering, GTM, Operations, and more) * Build the recruiting infrastructure from the ground up - tools, process, candidate experience, data tracking, etc. * Craft compelling job descriptions and outbound messaging to attract top talent in AI, engineering, and beyond * Partner closely with founders and hiring managers to define role requirements, interview processes, and closing strategies * Source exceptional candidates through outbound efforts and creative channels * Champion inclusive hiring best practices from day one * Build and nurture a talent pipeline for future roles as Tavus scales * Take lead on all things People Ops - from generating offers, onboarding new hires, handling visa logistics, etc.

We achieve this through pioneering research in multi-modal AI models for human perception and understanding, combined with state-of-the-art human avatar rendering and communication models. Our models power everything from text-to-video AI avatars to real-time conversational video experiences across industries like healthcare, recruiting, sales, education, and more.
