Prudentia Sciences
AI-driven life sciences due diligence platform
Prudentia Sciences is an AI-powered technology platform transforming how biopharma, biotech, and life sciences investors approach portfolio management, due diligence, and value/risk simulation. Our platform accelerates investment in breakthrough therapies by:
Empowering biopharma to accelerate drug pipelines, maximize ROI, and achieve clinical and commercial success for greater patient impact
Enabling strategic positioning of asset value during portfolio planning and dealmaking
Equipping investors with data-driven insights to optimize capital allocation in drug asset transactions
Backed by GV (Google Ventures), Iaso Ventures, and Virtue, we're on a mission to unlock the full potential of pharmaceutical R&D by empowering decision-makers with real-time, data-driven insights.
We're looking for a Founding Technical Recruiter to build and run full-cycle hiring across Prudentia Sciences, reporting directly to the Head of People. You'll lead searches spanning AI/ML, engineering, product, design, and data science, all while acting as a strategic partner to the hiring managers and executives you support. This recruiter must be fluent in attracting and assessing AI/ML engineering talent.
This role is for someone who wants to build recruiting at a company still early enough that your fingerprints will be on the process itself, not just the hires. You'll run searches end-to-end, but you'll also help define how Prudentia hires: the interview loops, the scorecards, the candidate experience, and the employer brand that gets top talent excited about a mission-driven, science-first company.
Own Full-Cycle Technical Recruiting Across the Company
Manage the entire hiring lifecycle: sourcing, screening, interview coordination, offer negotiation, and closing, for roles spanning technical functions
Keep multiple searches moving at once without sacrificing candidate experience or hiring bar
Partner Strategically with Hiring Managers and Leadership
Act as a trusted advisor to hiring managers and executives, translating open-ended hiring needs into clear role scopes, sourcing strategies, and interview plans
Bring market and compensation data to the table so leaders can make fast, informed decisions
Build and Scale Recruiting Infrastructure
Stand up the systems, processes, and metrics that let recruiting scale with the company, from applicant tracking workflows to structured interview kits to hiring dashboards the Head of People and leadership team can rely on
Champion Candidate Experience and Employer Brand
Own every candidate's experience of Prudentia, from first outreach to offer, ensuring it reflects our culture and values
Help tell Prudentia's story to prospective hires in a competitive market for technical talent
Essential Qualifications
10+ years of full-cycle recruiting experience with a proven track record hiring technical talent (AI, engineering, data, or product roles)
Familiarity with AI and ML hiring profiles and the technical bar for evaluating them
Experience recruiting at a high-growth startup, ideally where you built or significantly improved the hiring process rather than just running an existing one
Proven ability to manage a high volume of searches across multiple functions simultaneously without dropping quality or speed
Strong sourcing skills, including direct outreach to passive candidates, and comfort using recruiting and ATS tools to run a data-driven process
Excellent communication and stakeholder-management skills, with experience advising hiring managers and executives on hiring strategy
What Sets You Apart
A bias toward building: you create scalable process and infrastructure rather than working around gaps in it
Comfort operating with a high degree of autonomy and ownership in a fast-moving, resource-conscious environment
Prior experience using Rippling’s Recruiting module and Ashby (currently migrating ATS)
Creativity on how you’re leveraging AI to improve recruiting process
A strong point of view on candidate experience and employer brand
Bonus Points
Experience recruiting for frontier LLM companies
Experience building a recruiting function from the ground up (first recruiting hire, or first few)
Experience recruiting for roles internationally (Europe, Singapore & China)
Impact: Your work directly enables breakthrough therapies to reach patients faster
Ownership: Build the function as a foundational recruiting leader
Growth: Shape our recruiting experience during a critical scaling phase
Compensation: Competitive salary, equity, and 401k with match
Team: Collaborative, mission-driven colleagues passionate about transforming biopharma
We are looking for this role to be hybrid from our new San Francisco, CA office twice per week (Tues/Thurs).
