Position Summary & Responsibilities

About Cartesia

Our mission is to architect AI that learns from and interacts with the world like humans do.

We're pioneering the model architectures that will make this possible. Our founding team met as PhDs at the Stanford AI Lab, where we invented State Space Models or SSMs, a new primitive for training efficient, large-scale foundation models. Our team combines deep expertise in model innovation and systems engineering paired with a design-minded product engineering team to build and ship cutting edge models and experiences.

We're funded by leading investors at Index Ventures and Lightspeed Venture Partners, along with Factory, Conviction, A Star, General Catalyst, SV Angel, Databricks and others. We're fortunate to have the support of many amazing advisors, and 90+ angels across many industries, including the world's foremost experts in AI.

About the Role

We’re looking for our first Recruiter based in India, to help us scale our tech, go-to-market and business teams with the same thoughtfulness and precision that defines our US hiring. You’ll be responsible for identifying and hiring top talent across multiple functions including research, engineering, sales, marketing, operations, and customer success — partnering closely with leadership and helping shape how we tell the Cartesia story to the world.

This is a high-impact, hands-on role for someone who thrives in a fast-paced startup environment and brings a mix of scrappiness, strategy, and care to every hire.

Your Impact

  • Own full-cycle recruiting for all Bangalore-based roles, from sourcing to close

  • Help to scale our interview processes in the country, including interview plans, rubrics and assessment criteria

  • Partner with hiring managers to deeply understand each team’s goals and build tailored hiring strategies

  • Craft compelling outreach and deliver an exceptional candidate experience that reflects Cartesia’s culture and mission

  • Build diverse, high-quality pipelines through sourcing, referrals, and creative channels
