Senior Technical Recruiter

Artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming our world. It can perform cognitive functions that previously only humans could do, such as perceiving interactions across different modalities and environments - with the ability to quickly learn and then solve complex problems. Tensordyne is an AI system solution company that builds very high-performance, low-power generative AI inference systems. Our mission, through the creation of custom silicon, hardware and software, is to enable multimodal Generative AI inference acceleration at scale, with safe, sustainable, high-performance systems for our hyperscaler and neocloud data center customers.

We are at the leading edge of advancing the latest research and product improvements for generative Al inference solutions that will make Al even more advantageous for compelling new generative AI applications. Tensordyne is a well-funded, fast-paced startup company with headquarters in both Sunnyvale, CA, and Munich, Germany. We also have many talented team members working remotely across North America and Europe.

We take care of our people and their families with comprehensive benefits, competitive compensation, flexible spending options, and recognition programs, because building category-defining technology starts with a healthy, supported team. Come join us as we shape the future of multimodal generative artificial intelligence!

We are looking for an experienced Senior Technical Recruiter to help scale our organization as we build next-generation AI compute technology.

This is a hands-on, full-cycle recruiting role with broad ownership across ASIC, Hardware, Software, Operations, and SG&A, including highly specialized technical and leadership searches. The ideal candidate brings deep experience recruiting engineering talent—particularly within semiconductor, hardware, or AI infrastructure—while also being comfortable recruiting across business and operational functions.

You will partner directly with engineering leaders, executives, and functional hiring managers to translate business and technical requirements into effective recruiting strategies, build targeted talent pipelines, and deliver high-quality hires in a highly competitive market.

• Own end-to-end recruiting across multiple functions, including:
• ASIC / Silicon Engineering
• Hardware Engineering
• Software & Systems Engineering
• SDK / Compiler Engineering
• Applications / Field Engineering
• Operations
• Sales & Business Development
• Product Management
• Finance, HR and other SG&A functions
• Technical and functional leadership
• Partner closely with hiring managers to define role requirements, distinguish must-have vs. nice-to-have qualifications, establish interview processes, and develop realistic search strategies.
• Build and execute sourcing strategies for highly specialized ASIC, hardware, software, AI infrastructure, and business talent.
• Proactively identify and engage passive candidates rather than relying primarily on inbound applications.
• Conduct talent mapping across semiconductor, AI infrastructure, hyperscale computing, networking, software, and adjacent technology companies.
• Conduct substantive recruiter screens covering technical or functional alignment, career motivations, compensation expectations, location requirements, and overall fit.
• Manage candidates through the recruiting lifecycle—from initial outreach through interviews, comp expectations, closing, and pre-onboarding.
• Partner with hiring teams to continuously calibrate candidate profiles based on funnel performance and market feedback.
• Develop recruiting strategies for both immediate openings and anticipated future workforce needs.
• Provide leadership with market intelligence regarding talent availability, compensation,…
