Sign up with Clera and we'll reach out the moment a role actually fits you — no more spraying applications into the void.
Lead full-cycle recruiting efforts for technical roles across the organization, including both junior and senior positions. Drive proactive sourcing strategies and partner with internal stakeholders to optimize hiring workflows.
Requires prior experience in full-cycle technical recruiting within the hardware or semiconductor industry. Candidates must possess strong technical fluency and the ability to build credibility with senior technical hiring managers.
The demand for new data centers and AI compute is rapidly outpacing the planet's energy capacity. Digital solutions are hitting a power wall as we approach the physical limits of traditional silicon. Conquering this bottleneck means rethinking the fundamental architecture of inference compute. The industry's current path can't meet the need, so we're taking a different approach.
Instead of traditional electronic circuits, we use silicon photonics and an active, programmable metasurface to perform matrix multiplications at the speed of light. Our optical cells are 10,000x smaller than traditional photonic components, enabling unprecedented density. By using photonics instead of electricity, our chips become more efficient as they scale. This architecture will deliver up to 100 times the energy efficiency of existing solutions while significantly improving performance for large-scale AI inference.
We’ve assembled a world-class team of industry veterans and recently raised a $110M Series A led by Gates Frontier. Participants include M12 (Microsoft’s Venture Fund), Carbon Direct Capital, Aramco Ventures, Bosch Ventures, Tectonic Ventures, Space Capital, and others.
Join us and shape the future of computing!
Location: Austin, TX. Full-time onsite position.
Reports To: Senior Director of Talent & Recruiting
FLSA Status: Exempt
We are seeking an experienced recruiting lead to join our talent team and support the accelerating growth of our engineering organization. This role will report to the Sr. Director of Talent and Recruiting, and will be responsible for end-to-end recruitment efforts for technical roles across the organization. Sourcing strength and curiosity about our technology are top priorities for this role. The ideal candidate is passionate about hardware/semiconductor technology and enjoys learning about how complex systems work. This role will represent our cutting-edge hardware to the market and should be able to quickly establish technical credibility with candidates.

Photonic ExaFLOPS AI chips
There are recruiting scams ongoing using our name, including fraudulent jobs posted on LinkedIn. Please only apply to jobs listed on our website careers page. Neurophos is building AI inference chips that are two orders of magnitude faster and more energy efficient than state-of-the-art GPUs. Its Optical Processing Unit uses a metasurface compute architecture with tunable optical elements roughly 10,000x smaller than conventional photonic approaches, delivering a step-change in compute density, speed, and power efficiency. This breakthrough targets the central constraint in AI infrastructure: the ability to manufacture, power, cool, and deploy enough compute for hyperscale inference. By increasing compute per chip, per wafer, and per megawatt, Neurophos creates a fundamentally steeper scaling curve for AI. The company has strong strategic and commercial momentum. Microsoft engaged deeply and invested meaningfully in Neurophos’ 3x oversubscribed $110M Series A. Neurophos is engaged with the majority of hyperscalers and has commercial negotiations underway. Neurophos has completed its first compute demonstration with a metasurface array and is taping out additional devices with improved reliability and performance. The company is working with the leading foundries, custom ASIC designers, optics suppliers, and packaging partners. Neurophos has tripled its headcount since closing its $110M Series A in January 2026, adding senior leaders from NVIDIA, Intel, Infinera, Qualcomm, Magic Leap, and other leading semiconductor and photonics companies.
