Talent Engineering and Operations Lead

AirOps is the first end-to-end content engineering platform built for the AI era. In a world where discovery is shifting from traditional search to AI-driven platforms, we help brands get found—and stay found. We are currently in a phase of hyper-growth, having 5x’d our revenue in the last year by helping marketing teams at Ramp, Chime, Carta, and Rippling turn content quality into a durable competitive advantage.

Our platform equips marketers to navigate the new discovery landscape, prioritize high-impact opportunities, and create accurate, on-brand content that earns citations from AI and trust from humans. Backed by Greylock, Unusual Ventures, Wing VC, and Founder Collective, we are building the intelligent systems that will empower the next generation of marketing leaders. AirOps is headquartered in San Francisco, New York and Montevideo.

We're looking for someone rare: a recruiting operations expert who thinks like an engineer. You'll design, build, and maintain the automated systems that power our entire talent acquisition function. You operate at the unique intersection of sourcing, operations, and engineering.

Traditional recruiting ops scales processes. We want someone who can scale humans.

Build Sourcing Bots That Generate Pipeline at Scale
We need 10+ qualified, interested candidates per week for each active search across 8+ concurrent roles. You'll build automated sourcing bots using Clay, Claude Code, Cursor, v0, or whatever works best, with multi-channel engagement sequences, quality dashboards, and continuous optimization loops.

Build a Market Intelligence Tripwire System
We need to know immediately when competitors hire/fire, when great candidates become available, or when compensation trends shift. You'll build automated monitoring of competitor LinkedIn pages, job boards, and news sources with alert systems that trigger on key talent signals and push real-time updates to Slack.

Build Our Internal Referral and Backchannel Database
Our team has 1,000+ collective first-degree connections that could be referrals or backchannels, but we don't know who knows who. You'll build an automated system that maps all employee LinkedIn connections, cross-references candidates for warm intros, and surfaces backchannel opportunities via Slack.

Automate Interviewer and Candidate Prep
Interviewers waste time preparing and candidates show up unprepared, losing us quality hires to poor interview experiences. You'll build automated prep packets for interviewers, prep emails for candidates, interview guide libraries, and calendar integrations that trigger everything at the right times.

Redesign and Launch Our Careers Page
Our careers page is generic and doesn't sell what makes AirOps special, losing us inbound candidates who could be great fits. You'll build a compelling careers site with realistic job previews, team spotlights, optimized application flows, and SEO/AEO strategy driving organic traffic.

Build Exception Reporting for Data Integrity
Bad data in our ATS creates confusion, slows us down, and makes us look unprofessional to candidates. You'll build automated data quality checks, exception reports flagging issues, validation rules preventing errors, and cleanup workflows maintaining data health.
