About Nomic
Nomic is the domain-specific AI platform for the AEC industry, enabling firms to automate drawing review, code compliance, submittal review, and project research—connecting directly to existing data infrastructure without requiring migrations. We're growing fast across self-serve, mid-market, and enterprise segments, and the people we hire next will shape how far and how fast we go.
The role
Most recruiting roles start with a requisition and end with a hire. This one starts earlier and never really ends.
We are building the AI platform for architecture, engineering, and construction, an industry that has been underestimated by tech for two decades. That takes a team as ambitious as the problem itself, and finding them is not a job you can do reactively.
As Nomic's first dedicated recruiter, you will build our talent acquisition and talent intelligence function from the ground up. Your primary focus will be technical hiring across engineering and product. You may also source and close for go-to-market and business operations roles as the company scales. You will own the full cycle, from mapping the market to signing the offer, and you will design the systems, data, and relationships that let Nomic hire well for years to come.
What you'll do
Lead technical recruiting
Own hiring for engineering and product roles end to end: sourcing, screening, interview design, debriefs, offer, and close
Partner closely with engineering and product leaders to define what great looks like for each role, calibrate on profiles, and build structured, fair interview loops
Speak credibly with engineers about the work, the stack, and the problems we are solving, and make the case for Nomic to people who have never heard of us and have a dozen other offers
Hire across the business
Source and run searches for go-to-market (sales, customer success, marketing) and business operations roles
Adapt your approach to each function, knowing that finding a great enterprise AE looks very different from finding a great ML engineer
You’ll have eyes across the business to strategise where we are, where we are headed, and what gaps we need to fill today
Build the talent acquisition function
Design and own our recruiting infrastructure: ATS, workflows, interview processes, scorecards, and candidate experience
Establish hiring metrics (time to hire, funnel conversion, source quality, offer acceptance) and use them to keep improving the process
Stay in regular contact with strong candidates long before there is a seat for them, so when the seat opens, the conversation is already three steps in
A big component of hiring the best also means leaving the screen and expanding our presence in the physical world. We want Nomic to be central to where the top talent comes from and meets. Whether that means hosting talent partner events, attending external marketing events, walking the floor at conferences, engaging with Universities, and more. We want someone who can build the digital talent systems and can acquire the best folks in-person as well
Build talent intelligence
Map the talent landscape across AI, engineering, and AEC: where the best people are, which companies they come from, and what it takes to move them
Track compensation benchmarks, competitor hiring activity, and market trends, and turn them into recommendations for leadership
Build relationships against where we are headed
Partner with marketing to position Nomic as the place to work for the best talent
Find people in places other recruiters do not think to look. Job boards are the floor here, not the strategy
About you
Proven full-cycle recruiting experience, with a strong track record in technical hiring for engineering and product roles, ideally at a high-growth startup or in-house at a tech company
Experience sourcing and hiring for GTM and business operations roles, or the range to pick it up quickly
Someone who treats sourcing as a craft, not a checklist, and has a track record of finding people others missed
A builder's instinct. You have stood up (or are itching to stand up) recruiting systems, processes, and data from scratch, and you will be creating what does not exist yet, not maintaining what does
Analytical and data-minded. You use market data and funnel metrics to make better hiring decisions and to influence hiring managers
Genuine curiosity about AEC, AI, or both. You do not need to be an expert on day one, but you need to want to become one
Comfort operating with a lot of ownership and not a lot of hand-holding
Why this role is different
Most companies hire recruiters to fill seats. We are hiring someone to build the bench, and the function behind it. If you have ever felt boxed in by a role that only asks you to react to open requisitions, this is the opposite of that. You will have real input into who Nomic becomes, because the people you find are the people who will build it.
We have big goals. We need people who match them, and someone whose job is to go find those people before anyone else does.
What we offer
Competitive base salary and performance-based compensation
Equity participation
Medical, dental, and vision coverage
Flexible PTO
Hybrid NYC work model (3 days in office)
