Technical Recruiter

FieldAI is transforming how robots interact with the real world. Our growing R&D team is based in Boston, where we develop risk-aware, reliable, field-ready AI systems that tackle the hardest problems in robotics and unlock the potential of embodied intelligence. We take a pragmatic approach that goes beyond off-the-shelf, purely data-driven methods or transformer-only architectures, combining cutting-edge research with real-world deployment.

Our solutions are already deployed globally, and we continuously improve model performance through rapid iteration driven by real field use.

About the Role

We're looking for a Technical Recruiter to help build our growing FAIRI (FieldAI Research Institute) team in Boston. This role goes beyond traditional full-cycle recruiting. You'll partner closely with engineering and research leaders to understand long-term hiring priorities, develop proactive talent strategies, and identify exceptional technical talent before they enter the market.

You'll recruit for some of our most impactful technical roles while serving as a key contributor to talent strategy, market insights, candidate assessment, and hiring decisions. If you enjoy building relationships with world-class researchers and engineers, navigating complex searches, and solving difficult hiring challenges, we'd love to meet you.

Approximately 10-15% of your time will support People Operations through onboarding, recruiting operations, process improvements, and initiatives that create an exceptional employee experience.

This is a fixed-term position with an immediate business need. We are looking for someone who can start immediately. This role may evolve into a full-time role in the future depending on business need.
