Beacon AI is building an AI platform to make flying safer, more efficient, and more capable. The company is backed by top investors, has secured a dozen Department of Defense contracts, and partners with major airlines to deliver mission-critical systems.
You will own the technical hiring strategy and execution for Murdock, Beacon's in-cockpit AI assistant—one of the company's key product areas. This role has direct influence on the quality and growth of the engineering teams building this product.
Your focus will be on recruiting engineers who thrive in real-time, safety-critical, product-focused environments, with particular emphasis on iOS, machine learning, robotics, and autonomy-leaning skillsets.
Key responsibilities:
- Own technical hiring strategy and execution for Murdock-related engineering roles, with strong preference for candidates recruited from robotics, aerospace, or defense environments
- Partner closely with engineering leaders to refine role requirements, calibrate on candidates, and align on hiring decisions
- Source, screen, and assess candidates; build an intentional pipeline of exceptional talent
- Synthesize interview feedback and make clear hiring recommendations; establish repeatable structures and processes to keep hiring fair, efficient, and effective
- Partner with recruiting operations to optimize workflows, pipelines, and candidate experiences
- Represent Beacon honestly and compellingly to candidates; help close exceptional talent in a competitive market
You'll work in a fast-moving, flat organization where small focused teams own what they build, ship quickly, and learn fast. This role requires sound judgment, great attention to detail, and comfort with ownership of outcomes.

- 4+ years of technical recruiting experience, ideally in early-stage or fast-growing startups
- Previous experience recruiting iOS, robotics, autonomy, embedded, or other safety-critical technical profiles
- Demonstrated ability to source and evaluate high-quality technical candidates using LinkedIn Recruiter and other sourcing platforms
- Strong track record of hiring technical talent across a range of experience levels
- Experience recruiting for product engineering roles where reliability, ownership, and product judgment matter
- Strong relationship-building skills, good judgment, comfort with pushing back, and ability to earn trust and influence senior stakeholders

- Hands-on experience using Ashby ATS
- Interest in aviation or mission-critical software systems
