> Share is seeking its first internal recruiting hire to build the talent function from scratch. The role involves full-cycle recruiting for technical and non-technical roles, owning employer branding, and partnering with founders to attract global top talent.

## Job description

Location: Remote, Full-time Reports to: Founders Compensation: Competitive salary + equity

## ABOUT SHARE

Share is a venture-backed startup building the fastest growing internet network in the World. Acting as a bandwidth marketplace, Share aggregates underutilized telecom infrastructure (fiber, subsea cables, data centers) and provides ISPs, hyperscalers and AI companies with scalable access to bandwidth, ensuring they get to their users more efficiently; faster speeds and lower prices.

## THE ROLE

This is Share's first internal recruiting hire. You will lead and own the entire talent function and work directly alongside the founders in an engineering-heavy company, ensuring the company attracts, hires and retains global top talent across both technical and non technical roles; with the majority of our hiring focused on deeply technical profiles across network, systems and software engineering.

If you have built recruiting functions from scratch, know what it takes to attract great people to a unique mission and want your work to matter at a company connecting the next billion people to the internet, we'd like to hear from you.

## WHAT YOU'LL OWN

- Talent attraction. Source, engage, and close top-tier candidates across technical (network, software, systems engineering) and non-technical (operations, sales, marketing) functions. You know how to make the right person want to say yes.
- Employer brand. Own how Share is perceived in talent markets globally. Build the narrative that makes exceptional candidates lean in; on LinkedIn, through referrals, in communities, and in every candidate interaction. You understand that brand equity is a recruiting asset.
- Full-cycle ownership. Run the end-to-end hiring process: intake with founders, job descriptions, sourcing strategy, screening, interview coordination, candidate experience, and offer management.
- Pipeline infrastructure. Own the ATS, maintain clean data, build process playbooks, and create the recruiting operating system Share will scale on. We currently use Ashby.
- Founder partnership. Act as a thought partner to the founders on hiring philosophy, compensation strategy, and how we approach top-of-funnel. You will have a strong point of view and share it.

## WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

- 2-5 years of full-cycle recruiting experience, either in-house at a startup or at a boutique search firm.
- Demonstrated experience hiring deeply technical candidates (network, systems and software engineers).
- Hands-on experience running an ATS end-to-end (Ashby, Greenhouse, Lever, or equivalent).
- Strong sourcing instincts.
- Ability to build and own an employer brand narrative.
- Comfort operating with ambiguity and moving fast in a lean, founder-led environment.

## NICE TO HAVE

- Experience hiring in or for talent across Europe, Africa and the Middle East.
- Background recruiting for infrastructure, telco, fintech, or deep-tech companies.
- Executive or retained search experience.
- Comfort using AI-assisted recruiting tools and automation workflows.

## COMPENSATION

- Competitive salary.
- Meaningful, early-stage equity with a standard vesting schedule.
- Remote-first: work from wherever you do your best thinking.

## About Share

## Company Overview
- **One-liner**: Share is building Africa's largest open-access internet network by coordinating fragmented telecom infrastructure (subsea cables, fiber, data centers) into a single interoperable ecosystem for ISPs, hyperscalers, and AI companies.
- **Entity Type**: Private (Venture-backed; Seed round announced April 2026)
- **Headquarters**: New York, United States (with operations in Kenya, Spain, Poland, and France)
- **Founded**: 2024
- **Founders**: Omar Pederzoli (Co-Founder), Jose Muñoz Aycart (Co-Founder), Luis Munoz Aycart (Co-Founder)

## Core Business
- **Primary Industry**: Telecommunications / Internet Infrastructure
- **Target Customers**: B2B — ISPs (Internet Service Providers), hyperscalers, AI companies, and network operators across Africa
- **Mission**: To connect the next billion people to the internet by making fragmented infrastructure work as one network — treating connectivity as a human right.

## Products & Services
- **Open-Access Network Platform**: A coordination layer that aggregates underutilized telecom infrastructure (fiber, subsea cables, data centers) and provides ISPs with scalable backhaul capacity, management tools, and access to capital.
- **Bandwidth Marketplace**: Acts as a financial and operational layer, enabling ISPs to offer high-speed (up to 1 Gbps) internet plans without upfront capacity costs.
- **Funding & Payments**: Provides network operators with access to capital and consolidated payment processing (receiving all payments in one place).

## Market Standing
- **Valuation/Market Cap**: Not publicly disclosed
- **Key Metric**: Total Funding — Seed round announced April 2026 (amount undisclosed). Currently 11 employees but active job postings for 35 roles, indicating aggressive scaling.
- **Notable Investors/Partners**: Greenfield Capital (lead), Kosmos Ventures, Generative Ventures, Zee Prime Capital, and strategic angels.
- **Growth Signals**: 16 providers, 6,000+ km of fiber, 10 data centers, 8M+ people reached across East Africa. In May 2026, ISPs on Share's network began offering 1 Gbps plans without raising costs — 100x speed increases at same price points. 35 active job openings despite only 11 current employees.

## Competitive Advantages
- **Coordination Moat**: Rather than building new infrastructure, Share solves the harder problem of making existing (fragmented) infrastructure work together — a financial and operational layer that is difficult to replicate.
- **First-Mover in Open-Access Model for Africa**: No other company is aggregating disparate telecom assets into a single marketplace at this scale on the continent.
- **Speed-to-Cost Disruption**: Delivering 100x faster internet to end users without increasing ISP costs, fundamentally changing the economics of African connectivity.
- **Strong Investor Backing**: Led by Greenfield Capital, with deep-tech/crypto-native investors (Zee Prime, Generative Ventures) suggesting a novel financial/blockchain approach to infrastructure coordination.
- **Decentralized / Community-Owned Architecture**: Branded as "everyone's internet" with a community-owned ethos, differentiating from traditional telco models.

## Strategic Focus
- **Scaling the Network**: Expanding coverage across East Africa and beyond, connecting more providers and more people.
- **Hiring Deeply Technical Talent**: Currently recruiting aggressively for network engineers, systems engineers, and software engineers — VP of Network Engineering is a priority hire.
- **Building the Financial Layer**: Developing the payment and capital access infrastructure that makes the coordination model work at scale.
- **Employer Brand & Talent Attraction**: Hiring their first Founding Recruiter indicates a deliberate effort to build a strong talent brand and scalable recruiting operation.

## Why Work Here
- **Remote-First Culture**: Work from anywhere you do your best thinking; team spans London, Cape Town, Nairobi, France, Spain, and Poland.
- **Founder-Led Environment**: Direct partnership with founders on hiring philosophy, compensation strategy, and company direction — high ownership, low bureaucracy.
- **Meaningful Equity**: Early-stage equity with standard vesting, competitive salary.
- **Massive Impact**: Connecting the next billion people to the internet in Africa — work that literally changes lives at continental scale.
- **Engineering-Heavy Culture**: 50% of current staff are technical (network, systems, software engineering). Tech stack includes Kubernetes, Terraform, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, React, TypeScript, Python, Docker, Prometheus, Grafana, and more.
- **AI-Ready Environment**: Comfort with AI-assisted tools and automation workflows is valued.
- **High-Growth Trajectory**: 35 open roles vs 11 current employees signals hypergrowth — early employees will define the company's culture and processes.
