Who We Are

Lightning AI is the company behind PyTorch Lightning. Founded in 2019, we build an end-to-end platform for developing, training, and deploying AI systems—designed to take ideas from research to production with less friction.

Through our merger with Voltage Park, a neocloud and AI Factory, Lightning AI combines developer-first software with cost-efficient, large-scale compute. Teams get the tools they need for experimentation, training, and production inference, with security, observability, and control built in.

We serve solo researchers, startups, and large enterprises. Lightning AI operates globally with offices in New York City, San Francisco, Seattle, and London, and is backed by Coatue, Index Ventures, Bain Capital Ventures, and Firstminute.

What We’re Looking For

We’re in search of a well-rounded Senior Technical Recruiter to play a critical role in building Voltage Park’s BFT (best functioning team). We’re looking for somebody with start-up or MANGO-level tech experience who understands how the different roles within a tech company fit together – ideally, you’ve worked across multiple teams, such as engineering, product and sales. You’ll be championing inclusive, equitable hiring processes and providing a best-in-class candidate experience, while building trust with teams throughout our organization – starting with our AI software engineering group and expanding to other teams within the org.

What You'll Do

  • Full cycle recruiting for tech roles across the organization, with a focus on our AI software engineering, infrastructure, and product teams
  • Sourcing, screening, and interviewing candidates
  • Managing negotiations and offers
  • Building a diverse pipeline of candidates, including those who are traditionally excluded from the tech space
  • Helping to maintain and improve an equitable and scalable interview process
  • Provide an exceptional experience for all candidates, whether they get to offer or not, with an emphasis on communication and responsiveness
  • Be an active participant in online and in-person communities, helping to build our brand and your network

What You'll Need

  • 7+ years of experience as a technical recruiter hiring software engineers, including experience in a high-growth tech company
  • An enthusiasm for AI – you’re a regular user of new AI technology in work and in life
  • A deep commitment to building an inclusive, equitable hiring culture
  • Proactive communication – whether it’s to candidates, or your own hiring managers and team, you keep folks in the know
  • Bias to action - you’re comfortable with being pleasantly persistent to help move jobs and offers forward
  • You’re a networker, and well connected within the Seattle tech community
  • A respect for scalable processes, and a natural inclination to build and improve on those in place
  • ATS expertise (we use Greenhouse, but Lever, or similar experience also counts)
  • Phenomenal customer service skills, with a compassion for candidates in the job-seeking process
  • Ability to remain calm under pressure and adapt to changing priorities
  • High emotional intelligence and excellent communication skills with a track record of developing and maintaining cooperative working relationships with and among a diverse group of stakeholders at all levels

We are committed to offering competitive compensation that reflects the value each team member brings to our mission. Final offers are based on factors such as experience, skills, geographic location, and role expectations. In addition to base salary, our total rewards package for eligible roles includes a discretionary bonus, a meaningful equity component, and comprehensive benefits.

The anticipated annual base salary range for this role is:
$120,000—$150,000 USD

Benefits and Perks

We offer a comprehensive and competitive benefits package designed to support our employees’ health, well-being, and long-term success. Benefits may vary by location, team, and role.

Benefits include:

  • Comprehensive medical, dental and vision coverage (U.S.); Private medical and dental insurance (U.K.)
  • Retirement and financial wellness support (U.S.); Pension contribution (U.K.)
  • Generous paid time off, plus holidays
  • Paid parental leave
  • Professional development support
  • Wellness and work-from-home stipends
  • Flexible work environment
