Engineering will be the biggest focus, but you will recruit across the company as needed.We care a lot about quality, speed, and candidate experience. We are looking for someone who can find exceptional people, build trust with them quickly, and keep a search moving without needing a lot of structure around them.What You'll DoOwn searches from start to finish.

Improve our processes, tooling, interview practices, scorecards, and operating rhythms as the company grows.Know your pipeline. Track where searches stand, identify problems early, and communicate clearly about progress, risks, and what needs to change.Tell the Additive story well.

You do not rely on inbound applicants to fill roles.Excellent judgment and communication with both candidates and hiring managers.Comfortable working with incomplete information, changing priorities, and processes that are still being built.High ownership.
