Technical Lead, IT​/Tech, Tech ​/ IT Recruiter

Layer Health was founded in 2023 by leading machine learning researchers from MIT and Harvard Medical School. We are building an AI layer that can accurately and scalably synthesize information from medical records, with the mission to reduce friction everywhere in healthcare. Our LLM‑powered platform is solving chart review once and for all, across use cases. For health systems, our first product dramatically accelerates clinical registry abstraction in areas ranging from surgery and cardiology, to oncology.

Our long‑term vision is for our AI layer to safely transform patient care and minimize unnecessary heartbreak. Layer Health’s diverse founding team brings expertise across machine learning, UI/UX, large language models, and medicine.

We’re hiring an experienced Technical Recruiting Lead to help build the team that will define the future of Layer Health.

Recruiting is one of the most important functions at Layer Health. Every hire directly influences our ability to execute on our mission and scale our impact.

You’ll have meaningful ownership, direct access to company leadership, and the opportunity to help build a world‑class team tackling one of healthcare’s biggest challenges. The combination of mission, team quality, and company stage makes this a rare opportunity for a recruiter who wants to do their best work.

• You will own some of the most important hires in the company—from engineers and machine learning talent to finance, operations, and product managers who will help shape Layer’s future.
• You won’t wait for requisitions to open. You’ll build relationships early, cultivate talent communities, and know who’s exceptional before the market does.
• You’ll sit shoulder‑to‑shoulder with hiring managers, learning how they think, understanding what “great” looks like, and helping them separate signal from noise.
• You’ll become a trusted storyteller for Layer Health—bringing our mission, team, and vision to life for candidates who have countless opportunities competing for their attention.
• You’ll treat sourcing like a craft. Whether it’s a clever Boolean string, a niche community, a warm introduction, or a completely unconventional path, you’ll find talent where others aren’t looking.
• You’ll use data to inform decisions, but you’ll trust your instincts too. You’ll constantly refine what’s working, improve hiring velocity, and elevate hiring quality.
• You’ll help build the recruiting function, not just operate within it. Processes, systems, candidate experience, employer brand—you’ll have your fingerprints everywhere.
• You’ll have a seat at the table. Leadership will look to you for perspective on talent markets, hiring strategy, and how to build an exceptional organization.

• You have 8+ years of experience recruiting technical talent and a track record of helping high‑growth companies scale.
• You get genuine satisfaction from finding the person nobody else found. Sourcing isn’t a task for you— it’s a puzzle you enjoy solving.
• You quickly recognize patterns. After a conversation or two, you can tell the difference between a strong candidate and a truly exceptional one.
• Candidates trust you. People return your calls, respond to your messages, and remember their experience working with you long after a process ends.
• You are naturally curious. You enjoy understanding how products work, how engineering teams are structured, and what motivates top technical talent.
• Ambiguity energizes you more than it frustrates you. You don’t need a playbook—you enjoy helping write it.
• You move with urgency and ownership. When something matters, you make progress rather than waiting for permission.
• You’re comfortable working inside Greenhouse (or a similar ATS) and understand that great recruiting is equal parts relationship‑building, process, and execution.
• Bonus points if you’ve recruited in healthcare, AI, machine learning, or other highly technical environments where the best talent is difficult to find and even harder to convince.
