Requirements
• 5+ years of recruiting experience, with a strong headhunting track record in deep tech, semiconductors, AI, or hardware. • Proven ability to close senior technical talent (staff/principal engineers, research scientists, technical leadership) end to end, on your own. • Experience in fast-moving startups or scale-ups, ideally Series A through C. • Sharp sourcing instincts and outreach that earns replies from hard-to-reach people. • Comfort across geographies and timezones (France, US, Israel). • You've designed processes from scratch, not just run them. • Fluent in both French and English.
Responsibilities
• We just taped out our first chip and we're scaling fast across France, North America, and Israel. You'll own talent acquisition end to end, working directly with the CEO and CTOs to bring in the engineers and scientists who will define Arago's next chapter. • This is a headhunting role first: you'll personally run and close the most critical searches. As we grow, you'll mentor recruiters joining the team, define the processes and tactics that scale, and take the lead on the broader People function. The path to Head of People is real for someone who delivers. • Run and close candidates across hardware, optical, software, and research. • Partner with the CEO, CTOs, and engineering leads to scope roles and calibrate on talent. • Build a proactive sourcing engine across the US, Europe, and Israel. • Define and continuously sharpen Arago's interview process and hiring bar. • Mentor recruiters as the team grows, and lead the broader People function over time. • Build Arago's employer brand in the French and broader European deep tech ecosystem. • Track pipeline health and hiring velocity, and share clear updates with leadership.
Benefits
• Competitive cash compensation, with final package based on location, experience, and the pay of team members in similar positions. • Meaningful stock option plan offered at the earliest stage of the company (included in the majority of full time offers). • Relocation bonus and coverage of moving expenses for relocation within 20 minutes of the company’s location. • Healthcare coverage (including family-friendly options), pension contributions, professional development support, and 25 days of PTO, in addition to public holidays. • Ownership of a key technical domain, with significant vertical and/or horizontal growth opportunities, based on performance and individual drive. • Reimbursement of 50% of the public transport subscription fee. • A high-paced, multicultural (with 10 nationalities), and engineering-led environment.
