About Granica

Granica is pioneering data‑optimization for large‑scale AI and analytics. Our unified platform slashes storage and compute costs while turbo‑charging data pipelines, empowering enterprises to turn petabytes of raw data into actionable intelligence. Backed by $45 M from NEA and Bain Capital Ventures , we’re scaling fast at the intersection of AI research, distributed systems, and go‑to‑market.

What You’ll Do

As Granica’s Talent Lead, you’ll lay the foundation for a high-performance, high-integrity talent engine. You’ll own the end-to-end recruiting process for both technical and go-to-market teams, partnering closely with functional leaders to hire exceptional people who shape the company’s trajectory.

You will:

• Design and execute a scalable, data-driven hiring roadmap across engineering, research, and GTM roles.
• Source and engage world-class talent across multiple functions, drawing from your network, platforms, and creative outreach strategies.
• Own and optimize the candidate experience—from first touch through closing offer—making every interaction compelling and high-signal.
• Work directly with leadership to define roles, build scorecards, structure interview loops, and align on hiring bar.
• Drive process and tooling : build foundational recruiting workflows, systems (e.g., ATS), documentation, and reporting from the ground up.
• Shape and represent Granica’s brand in the talent market—through compelling outreach, events, partnerships, and storytelling.
• Serve as a strategic advisor to hiring managers and company leadership, helping make high-quality, long-term talent decisions.

What We’re Looking For

• 5+ years of full-cycle recruiting experience , including technical hiring (software engineering, research) at high-growth startups or modern enterprise tech companies.
• A talent polymath —equally comfortable sourcing an AI researcher, coordinating a GTM hire, or building a scalable interview rubric.
• Deep knowledge of the AI, infrastructure, and cloud ecosystem —with an instinct for who thrives in this space and how to find them.
• Hands-on sourcing chops, a keen eye for spotting outliers, and an energizing presence that helps close top candidates.
• Strong project management and prioritization skills —you operate independently, thrive in ambiguity, and move quickly without sacrificing quality.
• Experience working cross-functionally with finance, operations, and leadership on headcount planning , compensation benchmarking , and budget alignment .
• Ability to help define and improve hiring processes , interviewer training, and foundational People Ops infrastructure (e.g., onboarding, feedback loops).
• Bonus: Familiarity with immigration sponsorship , especially H-1B, O-1, or TN pathways, and experience supporting international candidates.
• A reputation for judgment, integrity, and high standards —you care deeply about building inclusive, high-performing teams.

Why Granica

• Be the first talent leader at a venture-backed company tackling massive-scale, high-impact technical problems.
• Help shape the culture and DNA of a generational team.
• Work with ambitious, low-ego founders and builders who deeply value talent.
• Make a real mark—building the recruiting engine that powers Granica’s next phase of growth.

Compensation

$140,000 – $200,000 (base) plus meaningful equity. Uncapped accelerators for over‑achievement.

Benefits

• Generous 401(k) with company match
• Premium health, dental, and vision coverage (you + dependents)
• Unlimited PTO + company-wide recharge weeks
• Catered lunch & dinner at our offices
• Immigration sponsorship and support
• Company hackathons and off-sites

Equal Opportunity

Granica celebrates diversity and is committed to creating an inclusive environment for all employees.
