About ImagineArt
We're redefining how the world creates and designs.
ImagineArt is one of the fastest-growing GenAI companies in the world, scaled with zero outside funding.
$35M+ ARR
100M+ social impressions
Our own image generation model, ranked #3 globally for photo realism
No funding. No shortcuts. Just a sharp, driven team, and we're just getting started.
The Role
This is not a recruiter seat. We are not looking for someone to post a job, wait for inbound, and move cards across an ATS.
We want someone who comes from tech, is obsessed with AI, and gets genuine satisfaction from building people's careers. You'll find the engineers, AI researchers, product people and builders who will shape ImagineArt, and you'll make sure they grow once they're here.
You'll work directly with the founders. You will be expected to teach us new ways of hiring.
What You'll Do
Find talent nobody else is finding
Source from where builders actually live: GitHub, Hugging Face, Discord, X, Kaggle, hackathons, university labs, indie maker communities
Build your own AI-powered sourcing and screening workflows — agents, scripts, automations. If a tool doesn't exist, you build it
Run end-to-end hiring for engineering, AI/ML, product, design, growth and GTM roles, from first outreach to signed offer
Assess like a builder
Understand the stack well enough to hold a real first conversation with an engineer about what they built and why
Design take-homes, work trials and interview loops that measure what matters, with hiring managers
Close candidates by selling the mission, the work and the growth honestly
Build careers, not just headcount
Own the path from offer to first 90 days: onboarding, ramp-up, early wins
Help design career ladders, growth paths and internal mobility
Run programs that bring in early-career talent and turn them into strong builders: internships, fellowships, student pipelines
Stay close to people after they join, and tell leadership early when someone is stuck or ready for more
Build the engine
Own hiring metrics: speed, quality, offer acceptance, and where great candidates drop off
Shape employer brand through real stories from the team, not stock photos
Turn what works into a repeatable system as we scale globally
What We're Looking For
Must-Haves
A technical background: CS, engineering or another technical degree, OR you've built and shipped things yourself
You use AI every day, beyond writing emails. You can show us a workflow, agent or automation you built that made your work faster or better
You genuinely enjoy helping people grow. You can tell us about someone whose career you helped build
Hands-on hiring or talent experience in tech, ideally including technical or AI roles
Strong negotiation and closing skills
Excellent written and spoken English
Ability to work onsite in Islamabad
Nice to Have
Experience as an engineer, PM or founder before moving into talent
A strong network in Pakistan's tech, AI and design communities
Experience running hackathons, communities, bootcamps or student programs
Familiarity with compensation benchmarking for engineering and research roles
Experience at a fast-scaling startup
Probably Not a Fit If
Your main channel is inbound applications through an ATS
You can't hold a basic technical conversation with an engineer
You see hiring as finished the day the offer is signed
How to Stand Out
Show us an AI tool, agent or automation you built for hiring or sourcing. A link, a Loom, or a screenshot is enough.
Tell us one way ImagineArt should be hiring that we probably aren't.
