Head of Talent

At Wafer, we are building AI systems that automatically optimize inference workloads across silicon. The quality of our team determines how fast we can build.

We're looking for a Head of Talent to find and close exceptional people, and build the recruiting function that lets Wafer scale without lowering the bar. You'll work directly with the founders, Chief of Staff and hiring managers, and personally own our most important searches.

What you'll do

• Find and recruit exceptional engineers and operators through direct sourcing, referrals and relationships.

• Own searches from the first conversation through an accepted offer. You know the candidates, what matters to them and what it will take to close them.

• Work with hiring managers to define what great looks like, design useful interviews and make decisions quickly.

• Help candidates understand Wafer's technical work, ambition and the impact they can have here.

• Keep the recruiting process fast and organized: clear ownership, timely feedback, reliable scheduling and accurate data in Ashby.

• Manage recruiting partners, understand which channels produce strong hires and spend accordingly.<
