## Job description

## About Specter

Specter's mission is to help customers automate the physical world. Today, we build video sensors with state-of-the-art AI agents that answer any question, anywhere in their environments. Our systems can automatically detect and reason about any physical activity captured on camera, from security incidents (e.g. perimeter intrusion, theft, LPR), to safety monitoring (e.g. PPE detection, injured people), to operational efficiency (e.g. material tracking, congestion monitoring). We offer both long range wireless and wired sensor variants to suit any deployment.

## About the Role

We are looking for a Recruiting Coordinator to own the logistics and candidate experience behind every role we hire for. Recruiting at Specter runs across a wide surface: engineers, software, supply chain, and operations, often in the same week. You will be the person who keeps all of it moving.

This is a coordination role. You are the operational spine of the hiring process — the one who knows where every candidate sits, what is blocking them, and who needs a nudge. Recruiters and hiring managers depend on you to hold the details so they can stay focused on evaluation and closing.

Our hiring is happens both virtually and on site: facility tours, hands-on interviews, candidates flying in for the day. The right person for this role is unusually organized, comfortable holding a high volume of moving pieces at once, and cares that every candidate leaves with a good impression of Specter whether or not they get an offer.

## What You Will Do

- Own interview scheduling end to end — coordinate calendars across candidates, interviewers, and hiring managers, and absorb the inevitable reschedules without losing momentum
- Serve as the primary point of contact for candidates from first outreach through onsite, keeping them clear on logistics, timelines, and next steps
- Run onsite and virtual interview logistics: rooms, agendas, interviewer prep materials, facility tours, and candidate travel
- Keep the ATS clean and current so pipeline data is something the team can actually trust
- Post and maintain open roles across the ATS and external boards
- Partner with recruiters and hiring managers on debriefs, pipeline hygiene, and weekly hiring reporting

## Qualifications

- 2+ years of recruiting coordination and/or executive assistant experience
- Exceptionally organized. You hold and organized a lot of moving pieces at once without dropping any balls
- A warm, easy presence with people. You are the face of Specter to candidates and a daily partner to hiring managers
- Strong written and verbal communication
- Comfortable with Applicant Tracking System (ATS) and with calendar tooling

## About Specter

## Company Overview
- **One-liner**: Specter builds and deploys long-range wireless sensing networks with AI-powered real-time alerts and semantic search, creating the perception layer for the physical world.
- **Entity Type**: Private (funding stage not publicly disclosed)
- **Headquarters**: Not publicly available (likely US based on website language and job postings)
- **Founded**: Not publicly available
- **Founders**: Not publicly available

## Core Business
- Primary industries: Physical security, critical infrastructure monitoring, industrial IoT, real-time situational awareness
- Target customers: Enterprise and government – including energy companies, data centers, construction firms, ports, stadiums, industrial facilities, and campuses
- Mission statement: "Creating a Software Defined Physical World" – providing instant awareness through real-time alerts, semantic search, and a map-based view of every event

## Products & Services
- **Specter Platform**: A SaaS-based physical intelligence platform that ingests data from long-range wireless sensors (video, thermal, acoustic) and applies general AI (natural language alerts) to detect events such as unauthorized access, safety hazards, equipment anomalies, fires, spills, and perimeter breaches. Features include semantic search, live and historical event detection, and complete situational awareness dashboards.
- **Long-Range Wireless Sensing Network**: Proprietary hardware and software for rugged, wide-area coverage without trenching – deployed across refineries, deserts, offshore platforms, construction sites, and other harsh environments.

## Market Standing
- **Valuation/Market Cap**: Not disclosed
- **Key Metric**: Annual revenue not publicly available; company is actively hiring (Software Engineer – Systems listing) and has a live product across multiple industry verticals.
- **Notable Investors/Partners**: Not publicly available
- **Growth Signals**: Recent website updates as of June 2026; expanding to new use cases (energy, data centers, construction, ports, stadiums); job openings indicate scaling engineering team.

## Competitive Advantages
- **Long-range wireless sensing** that eliminates blind spots without trenching or on-site personnel – a differentiator for remote and harsh environments.
- **General AI with natural language alerts** – users set and query alerts in plain English, lowering the barrier for security and operations teams.
- **Multimodal sensing** (video, thermal, acoustic) combined with real-time analytics for high-fidelity event detection (e.g., PPE compliance, spills, equipment theft, person-down incidents).
- Focus on **critical infrastructure** where downtime or security gaps carry high stakes, creating deep vertical-specific moats.

## Strategic Focus
- Expanding horizontal deployment across energy, data centers, construction, logistics, and campus security.
- Deepening AI capabilities through real-time semantic search and event detection to replace traditional CCTV monitoring.
- Building a “software-defined physical world” that unifies disparate sensors into a single intelligent layer.

## Why Work Here
- Opportunity to work on cutting-edge AI + IoT systems that monitor real-world infrastructure at scale.
- Engineering culture likely emphasizes distributed systems, computer vision, edge computing, and high-reliability software (based on job description for Software Engineer – Systems).
- Fast-paced startup environment with a clear product-market fit across multiple verticals.
- Remote/hybrid policy not explicitly stated; job posting does not specify location, but likely offers flexibility.
