Comfy
The Role
We’re hiring Comfy’s first in‑house recruiter to
build our hiring engine from the ground up. You’ll shape how we find, attract, and close the people who define Comfy — from engineers and ML practitioners to designers, storytellers, and GTM operators. You’ll design the systems that power our growth: sourcing strategies, interview loops, candidate experience, and the overall rhythm of how we hire. This is a rare 0→1 opportunity — not just to fill roles fast, but to
build a recruiting foundation that scales with intention and craft.
You’ll be joining at a moment when the team is small and momentum is high — every hire you make will help shape Comfy’s trajectory. You’ll work closely with the founders and early team to grow an organization that’s equal parts creative and technical —
helping build one of the most loved creative tools in AI. What You’ll Do
Own full-cycle recruiting
across engineering, design, GTM, and G&A
Build and optimize the recruiting engine:
design interview loops, scorecards, and ATS hygiene (we use
Ashby ) while tracking funnel health — pass-throughs, time-to-hire, and source mix — to continuously improve quality and speed
Partner with founders
to forecast headcount, refine scopes, and uphold both
bar and velocity
Source creatively:
engage top talent through open‑source communities, GitHub, Discord, and niche networks
Close candidates
by articulating Comfy’s mission, trajectory, and equity value versus larger alternatives
Optionally scale
into a
Head of Talent
role by hiring and mentoring recruiters and owning talent strategy company‑wide
You Might Be a Fit If You
Thrive in
Series A chaos
— you bias toward action, iterate fast, and document just enough
Have
hands‑on full-cycle recruiting experience
across technical and creative domains
Balance
outbound hustle
with
in‑house process ownership and discipline
Have
built or want to build
a recruiting function from scratch
Approach recruiting with
first‑principles thinking
— you design systems that reflect clarity, judgment, and craft rather than convention
Communicate with
clarity and calm
— confident enough to push back with taste and judgment
Are
data‑literate:
you speak in pass‑throughs, conversion, and time‑to‑offer, not just anecdotes — and know that
quality always trumps quantity
Are curious about
AI, creative tools, and the people shaping them
Build trust across disciplines — comfortable hiring engineers today and GTM or ops leaders tomorrow
Are
SF‑based
or open to joining our in‑person rhythm near
Alamo Square
Are excited by the
chance to grow into a Head of Talent
role as we scale
What is ComfyUI?
ComfyUI is the world’s leading
visual AI platform
— an open, modular system where anyone can build, customize, and automate AI workflows with precision and full control. Unlike most AI tools that hide their inner workings behind a simple prompt box, ComfyUI gives professionals the
freedom to design their own pipelines
— connecting models, tools, and logic visually like building blocks. It’s used by
artists, filmmakers, video game creators, designers, researchers, VFX houses , and among others,
teams at OpenAI, Netflix, Amazon Studios, Ubisoft, EA, and Tencent
— all who want to go beyond presets and truly shape how AI creates. ComfyUI empowers those who were not trained with the power of the brush to also be a painter, and those who are, to be a maestro. Built for users who value
transparency and control Infinitely extensible
— thousands of community‑made nodes and integrations
Scales from
creative experimentation to production automation
Open‑source , used by millions, and backed by one of the most active AI communities online
Evolving to
democratize visual AI creation:
empowering everyone from hobbyists to studios, storytellers, and enterprises to be more productive and creative than ever before
ComfyUI isn’t just another AI app. It’s
aiming to become the operating system for visual generative AI , the foundation on which the next generation of creative tools are being built. About Us
We are a small, intense, and well‑funded team in San Francisco who push ComfyUI and its ecosystem forward. Our team comes from Stability AI and Google and many contributed to the ComfyUI ecosystem way before working here. Our team is small and flat and there is no hierarchy, only areas of responsibilities: devs, ops, product, etc. The only thing that matters is the quality of your cultural fit and execution. We work hard and demand a lot of each other. But we have fun: everyone is here to make something meaningful that will end up being our life’s work. If this mission excites you and you view yourself as a top‑tier talent, your future latent self is waiting for you at Comfy. Check out our Github and blog for what we’ve been working on. Our investors include Pace Capital, Chemistry, Abstract Venture, and Guillermo Rauch.
