## Job description

## ABOUT BASELAYER

Every day, financial institutions make consequential decisions about which businesses to onboard and trust, in order to grow with confidence. Baselayer exists to make those decisions faster, more accurate, and much less expensive. We offer the leading AI Risk Platform that automates merchant onboarding, underwriting, and fraud prevention for over 20% of the Financial Institutions in America. By combining authoritative government data, AI agents purpose-built for web analysis, and a network powered by millions of applications, Baselayer prevents billions of dollars in merchant fraud and credit risk and instantly automates good merchant applications.

## ABOUT THE TEAM

We're a small team solving a big problem. Business fraud costs the financial system billions every year, and the tools built to fight it are slow, expensive, and outdated. We're changing that. You'd be joining a small, close-knit team where ownership is real, customer impact is immediate, and the work you ship matters from day one. We move deliberately, communicate directly, and care deeply about quality. If you want to look back in five years and know you worked on something that changed how trust works across major financial institutions, let's chat!

## ABOUT THE ROLE

Baselayer is growing, and we're looking for a GTM Recruiter to help us hire the people who will define the company. You'll be owning full-cycle talent acquisition across Go-to-Market, and Operations teams. This is a high-impact, high-ownership role — you'll work directly with founders and hiring managers to build a bar-raising hiring process and bring exceptional people into the team.

## WHAT YOU'LL DO

- Own full-cycle recruiting for roles across GTM and Operations — from sourcing through offer close
- Partner closely with founders and hiring managers to define role requirements, build scorecards, and maintain a high hiring bar
- Build and manage sourcing strategies to proactively identify top talent through LinkedIn, referrals, events, and creative outreach
- Manage candidate experience end-to-end, ensuring every candidate has a respectful, clear, and timely process
- Maintain and improve our ATS, keeping pipelines clean and data accurate
- Develop and iterate on interview processes that are structured, fair, and predictive of on-the-job success
- Contribute to employer brand efforts — help tell the Baselayer story to attract candidates who are excited about our mission
- Track recruiting metrics and report on pipeline health, time-to-fill, and quality of hire

## MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS

- 2+ years of full-cycle recruiting experience, ideally at a high-growth startup or in a fast-paced environment
- Demonstrated success hiring across GTM and/or Operations roles
- Strong sourcing skills — you know how to find and engage passive candidates, not just manage inbound
- Excellent communication and organizational skills; you run a tight, candidate-friendly process
- Experience with an ATS (Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby, or similar)
- Experience with LinkedIn Recruiter

## WORK LOCATION

- Remote or Hybrid out of NYC

## COMPENSATION

- Salary Range: $90,000 – $150,000 + Equity
- Variable Compensation: Annual Bonus

## BENEFITS

- Time off when you need it: Flexible PTO so you can recharge without red tape
- Competitive compensation: We pay well and back it with equity. We want you to think and act like an owner
- Career rocket fuel: You'll help build the foundation of a high-growth startup, working side by side with experienced founders and team members who've done it before
- Benefits on us: We cover 100% of your health, dental, and vision premiums. No surprise deductions from your paycheck
- 401(k) with company match: We match your contributions so your future self benefits too
- HSA contributions included: We contribute to your HSA on applicable plans, so your coverage works as hard as you do
- Stay healthy, stay sharp: A $250 monthly gym stipend to help you bring your best self to work, and everywhere else
- A seat at the table: We believe in transparency, radical candor, and giving every team member a voice 🔥
