Unlimited Industries is automating construction end-to-end to solve infrastructure and productivity challenges facing the Western world. The company is 15 people today and seeking a Founding Team Builder—a talent acquisition leader who will assemble an exceptionally talented team as the company scales to roughly 75 people by year-end and beyond.
This is a hunter role focused on finding, meeting, and building genuine relationships with world-class engineers. Rather than optimizing funnels or managing recruiting processes, you will spend your time identifying exceptional talent, understanding their work deeply, hosting dinners and events to connect them with the team, and maintaining relationships over time until the right moment arrives for them to join. The company has automated tactical recruiting work with AI; your job is the creative work of talent identification and relationship-building.
You will work directly with the CEO and engineering leaders daily. Success means building and curating a list of hundreds to thousands of the world's best engineers in relevant domains (construction tech, robotics, aerospace, power systems, etc.), ensuring each receives a red-carpet experience, and closing exceptional candidates when the timing is right. The company has a strong track record of closing candidates it wants, thanks to a singular mission, meaningful de-risking on commercial and technical fronts, and real equity and influence for early joiners.
The role is in-person in San Francisco and is not a 9-to-5 commitment. You will need extreme ownership, relentlessness in the face of rejection, and genuine belief in the mission of building a future of abundance through construction automation.
Requirements:
- A hunter mentality: you draw energy from people and prefer conversations with brilliant engineers to dashboard work
- Exceptional talent judgment: you can distinguish exceptional from merely very good in a single conversation and have a track record of being right
- Creativity over process: you invent novel ways to reach people and prefer building one relationship over a year to sending a thousand InMails
- Ability to sell a mission with total conviction because you genuinely believe it
- Relentlessness: you maintain relationships with top candidates even after months of "not right now"
- Extreme ownership over hiring outcomes
- Mission alignment and desire to build a future of abundance
- No recruiting background required; evidence of pulling exceptional people into something (company, lab, team, community) is more valuable than recruiting titles
Bonus qualifications:
- Technical or engineering background allowing you to hold conversations about launch vehicles, power plants, or similar domains and judge technical excellence
- Track record of building a company, team, or community and pulling great people into it
- Existing network in aerospace, robotics, motorsports, or other hardware engineering domains
