Recruiting Coordinator

About us

At Encord, we’re building the AI infrastructure of the future by solving one of the least glamorous, but most critical, problems in AI: data quality. For the vast majority of teams, preparing high-quality training data is the most costly and time-consuming part of bringing AI products to market, and it ultimately determines whether models succeed or fail.

As former computer scientists, physicists, and quants, we experienced this pain firsthand. AI today feels like the early days of the internet — huge potential, but immature tooling holding real progress back. That gap is why we started Encord.

We’re now a 100+ person team operating at the cutting edge of computer vision and deep learning, backed by CRV, Y Combinator, and leaders like Luc Vincent (former VP of AI at Meta). We’re one of the fastest-growing companies in the space and consistently rated by customers as the best tool on the market.

The role

Encord is looking for a high-impact Recruiting Coordinator to own candidate coordination end-to-end while helping us build the operational foundation of a fast-scaling talent function.

This is a true hybrid builder role: your core focus will be delivering a seamless, high-touch candidate experience through best-in-class coordination, while gaining exposure to recruiting operations, tooling, and process design. You’ll work closely with recruiters and hiring managers to keep hiring moving fast—and help shape how we scale recruiting thoughtfully and efficiently.
