Job description

ABOUT US

Blockit is a Sequoia-backed AI scheduling agent.

We learn your preferences on the fly and autonomously coordinate calendars to any degree of complexity — timezones, group scheduling, IRL, etc. Blockit is like having an executive assistant who never sleeps and responds instantly.

We're a small team serving thousands of users. All customers have come inbound: people encounter Blockit in email or Slack threads, adopt it, and spread it to their teams. We're keeping the team tight — but hiring a few exceptional people as we scale.

ROLE

We're looking for an Engineering Recruiter to own full-cycle hiring for technical roles. You'll partner with engineering leadership to shape roles, source candidates directly, and manage agency relationships. Your job is to make sure we hire exceptional engineers — quickly, and with a great candidate experience.

DAY-TO-DAY

  • Partner with engineering leads to define roles and nail down what great looks like for each hire
  • Source candidates directly — deploying creative strategies to find technical talent that's hard to reach
  • Run a rigorous interview process that sharply assesses skill, drive, and fit
  • Own the candidate lifecycle from first screen to signed offer — including complex negotiations
  • Manage external recruiting partners and hold them to our standards
  • Use data to find bottlenecks and continuously improve our hiring funnel
  • Ensure every candidate — hired or not — walks away with a great impression of Blockit

PROFILE

  • 3+ years of technical recruiting experience, ideally at fast-growing tech companies
  • Track record of sourcing and closing engineering hires
  • Strong grasp of technical skill sets and how engineering orgs work
  • Comfortable managing multiple searches across different disciplines
  • Experience with LinkedIn Recruiter and modern sourcing tools
  • Clear communicator who can manage stakeholders and keep things moving

ABOUT YOU

  • You thrive in fast-paced environments — and actually enjoy the intensity of early-stage startups
  • You're ambitious and treat hard problems as puzzles to solve
  • You're curious — you want to understand how AI works and why scheduling is harder than it looks
  • You're an owner — autonomous, self-directed, and comfortable with ambiguity
  • You're organized, thoughtful, and kind

Why work at Blockit AI

  • High‑impact role: Early‑stage startup with strong product‑market fit (200+ customers, viral growth) – employees can shape the future of an AI‑first productivity platform.
  • Culture: Described as a “time cult” based in San Francisco; engineers come from companies like Retool, Waymo, and Notion.
  • Policy: Likely office‑centric given SF headquarters and team description; remote/hybrid details not publicly specified.
  • Perks: Work on a cutting‑edge AI agent that directly solves a universal pain point; strong backing from top‑tier VC (Sequoia); opportunity to join a small, elite team.
