The Role
We’re hiring Comfy’s first in-house recruiter to build our hiring engine from the ground up.
You’ll shape how we find, attract, and close the people who define Comfy — from engineers and ML practitioners to designers, storytellers, and GTM operators.
You’ll design the systems that power our growth: sourcing strategies, interview loops, candidate experience, and the overall rhythm of how we hire.
This is a rare 0→1 opportunity — not just to fill roles fast, but to build a recruiting foundation that scales with intention and craft. You’ll be joining at a moment when the team is small and momentum is high — every hire you make will help shape Comfy’s trajectory.
You’ll work closely with the founders and early team to grow an organization that’s equal parts creative and technical — helping build one of the most loved creative tools in AI.
What You’ll Do
- Own full-cycle recruiting across engineering, design, GTM, and G&A
- Build and optimize the recruiting engine: design interview loops, scorecards, and ATS hygiene (we use Ashby) while tracking funnel health — pass-throughs, time-to-hire, and source mix — to continuously improve quality and speed
- Partner with founders to forecast headcount, refine scopes, and uphold both bar and velocity
- Source creatively: engage top talent through open-source communities, GitHub, Discord, and niche networks
- Close candidates by articulating Comfy’s mission, trajectory, and equity value versus larger alternatives
- Optionally scale into a Head of Talent role by hiring and mentoring recruiters and owning talent strategy company-wide
You Might Be a Fit If You
- Thrive in Series A chaos — you bias toward action, iterate fast, and document just enough
- Have hands-on full-cycle recruiting experience across technical and creative domains
- Balance outbound hustle with in-house process ownership and discipline
- Have built or want to build a recruiting function from scratch
- Approach recruiting with first-principles thinking — you design systems that reflect clarity, judgment, and craft rather than convention
- Communicate with clarity and calm — confident enough to push back with taste and judgment
