Jobs at Didit (YC W26) (Now Hiring) — 3 open

Job Description

Your mission

Build the team and the culture that lets Didit win. You'll own recruiting end to end — sourcing and closing the best talent in the world, wherever they are — and you'll own how it feels to work here once they arrive: onboarding, internal events, rituals, and the day-to-day culture of a fast-growing startup. This is the role that decides who joins us and why they stay. You'll report directly to the CEO.

What you'll do

• Own recruiting end to end — define the role with the hiring manager, source actively, screen, coordinate the process, and close the offer. You run the pipeline yourself; you don't hand it to an agency.
• Hunt worldwide — go find exceptional engineers, GTM operators, and designers wherever they are. Outbound sourcing, referrals, communities, and a genuine pitch — not just inbound applications.
• Build and run the hiring machine — scorecards, structured interviews, clear feedback loops, and a fast, respectful candidate experience. Keep the CRM clean so the whole team can see where every candidate stands.
• Own culture deliberately — turn how we work into something explicit and repeatable: onboarding that gets people productive in days, rituals that hold a fast-moving team together, and the standards we hire and promote against.
• Organise internal events — offsites, team dinners, demo days, and the moments that make an in-office team actually feel like one. You plan them, budget them, and make them good.
• Support the employee lifecycle — onboarding, performance cycles, and the people-operations basics (contracts, records, Personio hygiene), working with our finance and legal partners.
• Be the pulse of the team — listen, spot problems early, and bring the founders honest signal about what's working and what isn't.

What we're looking for

• 2+ years in a high-growth startup — hard requirement: you've recruited and built culture inside a company that was scaling fast and changing shape. Big-company HR experience alone is not what we're looking for.
• Closing great people yourself — a track record of full-cycle recruiting where you personally sourced, ran, and closed hires, including hard ones.
• A genuine hunter — comfortable doing cold outbound to senior candidates and selling a mission to someone who wasn't looking.
• Languages — excellent communication in English and Spanish, spoken and written.
• Making things happen — events, onboarding, offsites: you organise, you own the details, and it lands.
• Judgement about people — you can tell talent from polish, and you hold a high bar even when we're in a hurry.
• Mindset — strong ownership, high energy, and the ability to thrive in a fast-paced, high-expectations environment.

Nice to have

• Experience recruiting technical profiles (engineers, AI/ML, product) — a big part of this job.
• Familiarity with ATS/HRIS.

What we offer

• In-office in Barcelona — building culture is the job, and it happens in person.
• Real ownership — you own recruiting and culture outright, early, in a Y-Combinator-backed company used by 2,000+ companies.
• Budget and autonomy — the tools, sourcing budget, and events budget to actually build the team and the culture you're accountable for.
• Real growth — the chance to grow with us and help build the best identity company in the world.

We'll discuss compensation directly during the process.

About us

Didit is infrastructure for identity and fraud. We give companies one API to authenticate, verify, and monitor users and businesses — including KYC, KYB, biometric liveness, AML screening, transaction monitoring, and wallet screening — all composable into any workflow and live in minutes.

We’re the only identity provider formally attested by an EU member-state government as safer than in-person verification. We offer transparent pricing, 500 free checks per month, and global coverage across 220+ countries, 14,000+ document types, and 48+ languages.

Backed by Y Combinator, we’re a small, fast-moving team building the identity and fraud layer for the internet. If you want to ship products used by millions and own meaningful scope from day one, we’d love to hear from you.
