Talent Engineer

The Impact You'll Make

SME Careers builds the global expert workforce behind every SuperAnnotate project, bringing together specialists across languages and professional fields, from medicine and law to software engineering and AI safety. We're building a recruiting engine that finds and engages the right experts anywhere in the world, as fast as new projects need them.

As our first Talent Engineer, you'll design and own that engine. You'll choose and configure the AI sourcing and outreach tools we use, build the workflows that connect them to our platform, and turn them into systems that run reliably at scale. You'll approach recruiting as a systems and data problem, building an engine that grows faster than the team running it. You'll measure what works, cut what doesn't, and keep improving as our projects evolve.

You'll work directly with our Director of Product and Operations and the SME Careers talent team, and alongside engineering whenever an integration needs building. You'll understand recruiting well enough to know what good outreach and a good candidate look like, and you'll be technical enough to build the tooling yourself rather than waiting on someone else to.

This is a full-time, hybrid position based in San Francisco.

Why SuperAnnotate

This role doesn't exist anywhere else in the company yet, and you'd be defining it. The tools, workflows, and playbook you build will decide how SME Careers finds the experts behind every project we deliver, across every language and field we hire in.

You'll have real ownership and real visibility: a direct line to the leader running SME Careers, play a key part in selecting the tools, building what works, and owning results that show up in our ability to staff projects quickly. If you've ever wanted to build recruiting infrastructure rather than just operate it, this is that chance.
