## Job description

## ABOUT TOWN

Town is an applied AI company building a powerful assistant that makes it easy for anyone to create and use software in their everyday work. Town starts from who you are — it builds a persistent model of your voice, judgment, relationships, and priorities, and does real work on your behalf across email, calendar, docs, Slack, and CRM. It doesn't wait to be prompted: it observes, learns, and acts.

Town was founded by Jean-Denis Greze (CEO), former CTO of Plaid, and Tony Vincent (CPO), former Director of Applied AI Product at Google. We recently raised a $55M Series A led by Andreessen Horowitz, with participation from Forerunner Ventures, First Round Capital, Alt Capital, and Conviction. We're in-person in San Francisco's Financial District, five days a week.

## ABOUT THE ROLE

At a company of our size and stage, the caliber of the team is one of the highest leverage focus areas. Every hire impacts the average, and the bar is deliberately, uncomfortably high. We're hiring our founding technical recruiter to own how Town finds, engages, and closes the engineers who will define the company.

You'll partner closely with the founders and other leaders across the company to personally carry our most important technical searches, and to build the machine underneath them so a small team can hire like a much larger one.

## WHAT YOU'LL OWN

- Full-cycle technical recruiting. From sourcing to closing and everything in between, across engineering (staff backend, AI product, growth etc.), likely with some product & design as well.
- The candidate experience. High-touch, swift, thoughtful, and human at every touchpoint. You're often an individual's first touchpoint with Town, and you know how important candidate experience is to building an exceptional company & culture.
- Helping build the systems. The interview loops and evaluation criteria are largely in place - our HMs are tentured and know what good looks like. But you'll help build and maintain the infrastructure that allows us to move fast, get high signal, recognize patterns and improve how we do things.
- Recruit for Town on Town. You'll get to know and leverage our product intimately to make sourcing, outreach, and coordination dramatically more efficient. Working at a company where you're one of the core ICPs is an incredible advantage, and you'll be expected to leverage it and make us better.

YOU MIGHT THRIVE IN THIS ROLE IF YOU...

- Have 4+ years of full-cycle technical recruiting experience, with a track record hiring staff-level engineers (backend, AI/ML, infra, or similar) - ideally at a high-growth start-up
- Get joy across the recruiting lifecycle. You know what it takes to build strong top of funnel, and you enjoy building the relationships that get the toughest closes over the line.
- Know enough to be dangerous which conversing with top technical talent. You can hold a credible conversation about what an engineer actually does, and tell signal from noise on a resume.
- Operate with high agency. You find the work and own the outcome. You decide at 70%, not 90%, and correct as you go.
- Write exceptionally well and represent Town with warmth and precision to every candidate.
- Are AI-curious at a minimum. You've experimented with how AI can make you a better recruiter, and want to use AI to make yourself more effective.
- Get energy from working with people in person. We're 5x per week at our office in SF.

## LOCATION

San Francisco, CA — five days a week in-person at our Financial District office (near the Montgomery BART/Muni stop).

## About Town.com, Inc.

## Company Overview
- **One-liner**: An applied AI company building a proactive, persistent AI assistant that learns how you work and acts on your behalf across email, calendar, docs, Slack, and CRM.
- **Entity Type**: Private (Series A)
- **Headquarters**: San Francisco, California, USA
- **Founded**: 2024
- **Founders**: Jean-Denis Greze (CEO, former CTO of Plaid) and Tony Vincent (CPO, former Director of Applied AI at Google)

## Core Business
- **Primary industries**: Artificial Intelligence, Enterprise Software, Productivity
- **Target customers**: B2B (SMB to mid-market teams looking to automate knowledge work)
- **Mission**: "Make it easy for anyone to create and use software in their everyday work." — Town careers page

## Products & Services
- **[Town AI]**: A SaaS assistant that builds a persistent model of a user’s voice, judgment, relationships, and priorities. It observes, learns, and acts without waiting for prompts — triaging inbox, managing schedules, running workflows, and generating drafts. Replaces general-purpose chatbots like ChatGPT and Claude for daily work.

## Market Standing
- **Valuation**: Not publicly disclosed
- **Key Metric**: Total funding of **$73M** (Seed $18M + Series A $55M) — some sources report $78.1M, likely including a smaller prior round or adjusted amount.
- **Notable Investors/Partners**: Series A led by **Andreessen Horowitz** with participation from **Forerunner Ventures**, **First Round Capital**, **Alt Capital**, and **Conviction**. Seed led by **First Round Capital**. Angel investors include Adam D’Angelo, Soleio Cuervo, and Immad Akhund.
- **Growth Signals**: Headcount grew **82.4% year-over-year** (LinkedIn, 2026). Currently **13–31 employees** depending on source. Early customers report replacing Claude, ChatGPT, and “OpenClaw” with Town because it “actually understands them.” The company was founded in 2024 and closed a $55M Series A in May 2026, signaling strong investor confidence.

## Competitive Advantages
- **Proactive persistence**: Town builds a model of the user’s preferences and takes action without explicit prompting — a deeper “memory” than chat-only AIs.
- **Deep tool integration**: Connects to email, calendar, Slack, CRM, and docs, acting across all of them.
- **Founder pedigree**: CEO scaled Plaid from $10M to $300M+ ARR; CPO co-founded a company acquired by Google and another by Dropbox.
- **Early traction**: Customers report preferring Town over leading competitors for daily work.

## Strategic Focus
- Aggressively building out the product and team in 2026 (5 open roles across engineering, product, design, business operations, and marketing).
- Scaling from early adopters to a broader SMB/mid-market audience.
- Continuing to iterate on the “persistent AI assistant” paradigm.

## Why Work Here
- **Culture**: “Action first. Chat second.” Principles include owning outcomes, making decisions with 70% information, and debating hard with ego aside.
- **Work environment**: Fully in‑person, five days a week in San Francisco’s Financial District. Early‑stage (one of first ~20 teammates) means high impact and ownership.
- **Compensation**: AI Product Engineer $225K–$300K, Staff Backend Engineer $250K–$300K, Business Operations $130K–$170K, Product Marketing $150K–$200K — all with competitive equity.
- **Benefits**: Fully covered medical, dental & vision; unlimited PTO; free daily lunch; commuter benefits; parental leave; 401(k).
- **Team**: Engineers and operators from Plaid, Apple, Facebook, Stripe, Lyft, Dropbox, CrowdStrike, HubSpot, Quora, and Asana.
