We expect PMs to use AI as a force multiplier, not just write docs.

Design AI-Native Workflows

You'll help design product systems that use:

• LLMs
• semantic search
• embeddings
• candidate matching
• summarization
• automation engines

to eliminate manual recruiting work.

Drive Automation

You will constantly ask:

"Why is a human doing this?"

Then build systems that automate it.

Work Extremely Closely With Engineering

You will collaborate daily with engineers to:

• shape product architecture
• refine technical tradeoffs
• ship features quickly
• iterate with real customer feedback

What We're Looking For

• building product concepts independently
• using AI tools to accelerate execution

Comfort With Ambiguity

This is a startup environment.

You should enjoy:

• fast iteration
• unclear problems
• ownership
• shipping quickly

Strong Candidates Often

• Previously worked at HR tech or recruiting tech companies
• Have built ATS or recruiting workflow products
• Use AI tools daily for product development
• Think about automation and workflow intelligence
• Care deeply about shipping useful products quickly

What Success Looks Like

Within your first 3 months:

• Recruiters using HireHQ spend dramatically less time on manual tasks
• AI features automate key recruiting workflows
• Customers rely on AI insights to prioritize candidates
• Recruiters move from administrative work → strategic hiring

Why This Role Is Different

Most recruiting software was designed 15–20 years ago.

HireHQ is rebuilding recruiting software from the ground up using:

• AI agents
• workflow automation
• intelligent candidate matching
• recruiter copilots

This role is an opportunity to help build the AI operating system for hiring.
