About Tezi

Tezi is building an Autonomous AI trained by top hiring managers and recruiters to lead the end-to-end recruiting process. Our AI proactively sources candidates, screens applicants, schedules interviews, collects scorecards, and never drops the ball. We believe in saving the uniquely human work (selling, evaluating, and closing) for the humans and leveraging AI for the rest.

To learn more about our journey and recent launch, check out our launch blog post, launch video, and TechCrunch article. We are very well funded and have a long waitlist of customers eager to use the product!

How we work

• Meticulously designed: A founding team who has collectively hired 500+ employees designed every interaction along the entire hiring journey.
• Committed to calm: We work smart and hard, but chaos, thrash, and drama are inefficient and slow.
• We’re all grown ups: We all like to operate in a culture of trust, freedom, responsibility, and autonomy. That requires us to act like mature, wise adults in all matters.
• Judgment, over process: We don’t have the time and can’t afford unnecessary processes. Unless it helps us build faster, less process is better.
• The best ideas win: We encourage critical thinking, dissent, and candor. The right answer needs to win out over whoever’s just loud, vocal, powerful, or charming.

About the role

As a member of technical staff at Tezi, you’ll join a small team of top-notch engineers that build the Tezi product and tech stack. We like to operate lean, so we hire senior, self-sufficient engineers (staff level and above only) who can each own and deliver a big chunk of the product experience or underlying AI, software, or data technology that makes Tezi work. You’ll not only write code but also participate in thinking about the product’s design, interact with customers, and project manage your own work.

Our system uses agentic AI technology powered by dozens of specialized agents, each trained to do one recruiting task very well, seamlessly orchestrated to deliver the experience of interacting with one AI recruiter. Surrounding the AI agents is a lot of software that makes the end-to-end system work and delivers a thoughtfully designed experience for our users (employers and candidates). We use Python for backend and React/TypeScript for frontend. The tech stack is all hosted on a public cloud.

Requirements

• Experience at Staff Engineer or above level at leading technology companies. This typically means you have at least 6-8 years of industry experience.
• Interest and proven ability to work on cutting-edge technology, willingness to learn and pick up new skills on a regular basis.
• Willingness to roll up sleeves and get things done. Tezi engineers don’t mind digging into frontend code one day and devops code another if that’s what’s needed to get their task done.
• Willingness and experience working in a fast-paced, high intensity environment (not unlike most early stage startups).
• You’ve shipped stuff to users and not just built prototypes or research-ware.
• Ability to collaborate effectively in a mostly remote work environment.
• Willingness to travel and work in-person roughly one week out of every eight, typically in the SF Bay Area.
• You are eligible to work in the United States and do not require visa sponsorship.

Nice to have

• Experience as a hiring manager or passion for the recruiting space.
• Specialized experience and skills in either full-stack product development or data/ML infrastructure.

What we offer

• Opportunity to build cutting-edge agentic AI applications. We aren’t building tools, we are building AI workers. This is quite different from traditional software development.
• Lean, flat culture with a high degree of autonomy and responsibility.
• Mostly remote work environment with flexibility in work hours and taking time off.
• Meaningful equity in an early-stage company, benchmarked at the top quartile of similar stage startups.
• Competitive salary benchmarked at the top quartile of similar stage startups. Expected range is currently $180,000 - $250,000.
• Generous medical, dental, and vision insurance plans for you and your dependents.
• 401k plan (both Roth and Traditional).
