Mecka AI is building the data infrastructure layer for robotics and embodied AI.
We design and operate global systems for data capture, data labeling, and hardware-enabled workflows used by leading AI labs and robotics companies to train and validate humanoid and embodied AI systems.
We work closely with frontier robotics teams to bridge real-world data, simulation, learning-based systems, and deployed hardware.
Mecka is building the data engine that helps robots understand and operate in the physical world. That requires an extraordinary team spanning software, infrastructure, machine learning, computer vision, robotics and research.
We’re looking for a Technical Recruiter who can find those people—and convince them to build with us.
Reporting to our Director of Talent Acquisition, you’ll own technical searches from first outreach through to signed offer. You’ll work directly with hiring managers and company leaders, move with urgency, and help us build a lasting presence within the robotics and computer vision communities.
This is not a role for someone who waits for applicants. You’ll map specialized talent markets, develop relationships before there is an open role, and build pipelines that compound as Mecka grows.
What You’ll DoLead full-cycle recruiting across engineering, ML, computer vision, robotics and other specialized technical roles
Find exceptional candidates through original research, targeted sourcing and long-term relationship building—not only LinkedIn searches and inbound applications
Partner with hiring managers to define the real need, sharpen the role and build an interview process that identifies it
Build trusted relationships across robotics and computer vision companies, research labs, universities and technical communities
Develop talent pipelines before roles open, particularly for specialized and hard-to-find profiles
Keep searches moving quickly while maintaining a high hiring bar and a strong candidate experience
Present and close offers, helping candidates understand Mecka’s technical ambition, ownership and upside
Use pipeline data and market intelligence to tell us where talent sits, what candidates care about and when our approach needs to change
Help improve the recruiting systems, tools and practices we’ll need as Mecka scales
4+ years of full-cycle technical recruiting experience . Must have experience hiring specialized engineers, researchers or technical leaders in robotics, computer vision, physical AI, autonomous systems, ML or another deep-tech environment
Strong sourcing instincts and evidence that you can uncover people other recruiters miss
Experience operating at speed in a demanding startup, scale up or similarly high-performance environment
The judgment to distinguish an impressive résumé from someone who will materially raise the bar
The credibility and curiosity to engage deeply technical candidates and hiring managers
Strong candidate-closing skills and comfort navigating compensation, equity and competing offers
High ownership: you identify obstacles, propose solutions and keep the process moving
Existing relationships across robotics, computer vision or embodied-AI companies, labs and academic communities
Experience recruiting at the intersection of software, hardware and research
Familiarity with the talent emerging from conferences and communities such as CVPR, NeurIPS, CoRL, RSS or ICRA
Experience with Ashby and modern sourcing or talent-intelligence tools
You’ll have direct access to the leaders making hiring decisions, ownership over some of our most important searches, and the opportunity to build a technical talent network—not simply fill requisitions.
The hiring bar is high. The pace is fast. The people you bring in will directly shape what Mecka becomes and we have super high ambitions. If you do too - you may be the perfect fit!
If you don't check every box above but believe you can do the job, we encourage you to apply — we're looking for capability and trajectory, not a perfect checklist match.
We strive to create an inclusive work environment for all; we welcome applicants from all backgrounds and are committed to providing equal opportunities. Should you require any accommodations during the recruitment process, we will partner with you to meet your needs.
We may use AI-assisted tools to help evaluate applications against the requirements of this role. These tools support our recruiting team in identifying qualified candidates but do not replace human judgment or limit which applications may be reviewed or considered.
