About Amigo Amigo builds AI agents for healthcare. For managed service customers, we are responsible for maintaining and uplifting agent performance, ensuring clinical safety and continuous improvement of patient outcomes. Our agents operate autonomously within bounded clinical domains. Clear inclusions, exclusions, and handoff protocols. The scope of autonomous operation expands over time as we validate performance across patient populations. The platform handles both clinical workflows and patient engagement at scale: post-discharge monitoring, intake, medication adherence, care gap closure, and more. Context‑aware agents with memory across sessions and clinical action capabilities. Series A from leading investors. Clinical validation and evidence generation in partnership with leading academic medical institutions.

About This Role As Amigo's first in-house recruiter, you'll be both an individual contributor and the architect of our technical recruiting function. You'll own full‑cycle recruiting for engineering and technical roles, manage agencies and sourcing platforms, and partner closely with founders and investors to identify and close top technical talent in the healthcare AI space. More importantly, you'll be responsible for distinguishing builders from operators—finding the rare 1% of talent that creates systems from scratch, not just optimises existing ones. You'll also build the systems, brand positioning, and playbooks needed to scale our technical hiring 4× over the next year—from defining process to designing candidate experience. This is an opportunity to define the technical talent strategy of a company at one of the most exciting intersections of AI and healthcare.

What You'll Do

Own end‑to‑end recruiting for engineering and technical roles across Agent Engineers, Solutions Architects, ML Engineers, Backend/Infrastructure Engineers, and technical leadership

Develop and execute a scalable technical recruiting strategy that supports 4× team expansion, typically managing 8‑12 open engineering roles at once

Directly source and close top technical talent, with a clear track record of delivering 30 hires per year in competitive markets

Screen candidates for builder vs operator signals before technical interviews—evaluating whether they built from scratch or operated existing systems, whether they have strong technical beliefs, and whether they've debugged below the application layer

Build and optimise the technical recruiting process from scratch: job descriptions, interview loops, candidate experience, evaluation frameworks, and time‑to‑fill metrics

Drive inclusive hiring practices, ensuring diverse candidate pipelines and equitable processes across all technical roles

Partner with leadership on headcount planning, org design, and evolving business needs as we scale our engineering organization

Provide market intelligence—compensation benchmarking for technical roles, competitive landscape insights, and positioning strategies for attracting talent from big tech, consulting, and healthcare backgrounds

Develop and manage sourcing channels including direct sourcing, agency partnerships, investor networks, academic institutions with strong CS/AI programmes, and sourcing platforms

Track and analyse recruiting performance, defining and reporting KPIs such as source of hire, conversion rates, time to fill, and quality of hire for technical roles

Champion employer branding and storytelling for engineers—help candidates understand the impact of building AI systems that directly improve patient outcomes and healthcare delivery

Navigate the unique talent landscape of healthcare AI, balancing technical depth with domain expertise and regulatory awareness

Build relationships with CS departments, AI research labs, and academic medical institutions as technical talent pipelines

Eventually build and lead the technical recruiting team—defining roles, playbooks, and culture for a world‑class hiring function

What We're Looking For

5‑10+ years of full‑cycle technical recruiting experience in high‑growth startups (Series A‑D), ideally in AI, healthcare tech, SaaS, or deep tech

Proven ability to source and close 20+ engineers per year in competitive markets, with a strong track record of winning candidates against large tech companies

First‑principles thinker who understands that environment shapes people more than brands—someone who knows that Google/Meta/Netflix on a resume should trigger thoughtful evaluation, not automatic excitement

Deep technical fluency to evaluate whether candidates built vs operated, created vs improved, made architectural decisions vs followed them

Deep understanding of technical talent markets and what attracts engineers to early‑stage opportunities in regulated industries

Pattern recognition for identifying builders: strong technical beliefs, experience creating from scratch, necessity‑driven depth, and conviction about how systems should be architected

Comfortable being both strategic and hands‑on—you can design systems and run searches yourself

Skilled in market positioning and storytelling—selling mission, clinical impact, and growth trajectory over brand‑name safety to technical candidates

Experience with recruiting tools like Ashby, Greenhouse, Gem, HireEZ, or similar ATS and sourcing platforms

Strong operational mindset: track metrics, identify bottlenecks, and continuously improve processes

Experience managing agency partnerships and contingent recruiters effectively for technical hiring

Thrive in ambiguous, fast‑paced environments; scrappy and biased toward action

Conviction to challenge assumptions and defend hiring decisions based on potential, not credential polish

Strong ability to assess technical talent and understand engineering/AI roles—you don't need to code, but you need to understand what separates great engineers from average ones

Comfort with healthcare context and regulated environments, or eagerness to learn

Nice to have

Experience recruiting for healthcare technology or regulated industries (fintech, legal tech, biotech)

Experience building or leading a technical recruiting function, or stepping into a Head of Talent role

Network within healthcare AI, digital health, or health tech ecosystems

Understanding of clinical workflows and healthcare delivery models

Experience recruiting for mission‑driven companies where product impact is a key selling point

Prior experience at a startup that scaled 3‑5× during your tenure

Relationships with CS departments, AI research labs, or engineering communities

Benefits Health & Wellness

Comprehensive health, dental, and vision insurance

Mental health support and wellness coaching

Flexible wellness stipend for fitness, therapy, or personal growth

Daily catered lunch and dinner

Growth & Development

Annual learning budget for courses, books, or conferences

Conference attendance budget for professional development

Development setup of your choice

Academic collaboration opportunities

Compensation Range: $150K - $200K
