TL;DR: We are hiring in Talent to own recruiting end-to-end as we scale. You will work directly with our CEO to hire across engineering, GTM, and operations, with a mandate to further build the team that runs talent at Strala.
Background: Strala is rebuilding the foundation of one of the world’s largest industries - insurance.
In less than a year, we reached multi seven-figure ARR. We raised $55M across two rounds from Tier 1 funds including Peter Thiel's Founders Fund, led by the partner who was early in OpenAI, Cognition and Scale AI. Our team comes from institutions like Harvard, Berkeley & Oxford and firms like Optiver, AMD & Palantir (+ICPC, NeurIPS backgrounds).
Role requirements: Located in or willing to relocate to San Francisco. In-person, five days a week.
You'll Thrive If:
You operate like a founder - you own outcomes, move fast, and figure it out
You are closer. Whether through recruiting, sales, or high-stakes persuasion, you've gotten talented people to say yes against real competition.
You have a high bar for talent and strong opinions on what great looks like - you can spot a .01% candidate in a 15-minute call
You hunt. You go far beyond inbound through targeted outreach, creative sourcing, and deep network leverage
You think in systems. You build infrastructure (ATS workflows, sourcing pipelines, scorecards, automations) that compounds over time
You write well and communicate clearly. Candidates remember talking to you
Your background is non-obvious. Consulting, banking, operating — if you’ve spent time somewhere that forged elite judgment and hustle, we don’t care that you've never touched an ATS.
What the role entails:
Own recruiting end-to-end across the entire company: engineering, GTM, claims, and operations. You report directly to our CEO
Personally source candidates for our most critical roles
Build out the recruiting function: hire and manage recruiters/sourcers, run agency relationships, define our interview processes
Operate our recruiting stack (Ashby + sourcing tools + automations) and continuously improve it
Own employer brand and our presence in the markets we recruit from
Our values:
Ambition: We want to win, and we need to be the best
Performance: Speed, system thinking, efficiency

Spirit: Clarity, optimism, meritocracy
