## Job description

## About Tutor

We believe robots are the biggest lever we have to making the physical world a better, more affordable place. But robots are a rounding error in our society: nearly nine out of ten American factories and warehouses don’t even have a single robot, and robots have yet to make their way into our homes or places of business. Tutor Intelligence is changing that. Tutor is a robotics research and deployment company, building generally capable robot hardware and artificial intelligence to enable robots to go where no robots have gone before. Sonny is a semi-humanoid robot with frontier dexterity approaching the human form. Cassie does back-breaking work, moving boxes, pallets, and bulk goods for businesses from family-owned manufacturers to some of the largest brands in the world. Tutor robots are manufactured at scale and operate as a network, combining the whole fleet’s learned experience to train ever more capable robot artificial intelligence. Founded at MIT and headquartered in Watertown, MA, our team is full stack: we design and manufacture robot hardware, train our own models, work directly with the smallest and largest end-customers, and maintain our fleet across the United States. We’re a team of researchers, engineers, technicians, operators, and sellers who love building things and solving hard problems. Our mission is grand: robots everywhere, for the common good, raising the standard of living across North America, and then the world.

## The Role

Are you a technical recruiter who gets genuinely excited about the work your candidates do? At Tutor Intelligence, we're building teams of engineers and researchers who are pushing the frontier of what robots can do in the real world — and we need a recruiter who can find them, earn their trust, and bring them in.

Tutor is deploying robotics AI into factories and warehouses across the country, and the engineers and researchers behind that technology — software engineers, hardware engineers, and AI/ML researchers — are the core of what we're building. As our Technical Recruiter, you'll own the full recruiting lifecycle for these roles: sourcing, screening, coordinating, and closing. You'll partner closely with our engineering and research leadership, and report into the Head of People Strategy.

We're looking for someone who is deeply curious, technically literate, and skilled at building relationships with candidates who get a lot of inbound and aren't always looking. You know how to have a real conversation about someone's work, understand what makes a role technically interesting, and represent Tutor's mission in a way that resonates with people who care about hard problems. You take seriously the fact that you're often the first person a candidate ever talks to at Tutor — you understand that every interaction is a reflection of who we are, and you bring the same care and intentionality to a first outreach message as you do to closing an offer.

## What You'll Own

- Full-cycle recruiting for engineering and research roles — software engineers, hardware engineers, AI/ML researchers, and more as we grow
- Building and maintaining deep pipelines for hard-to-fill technical roles, with a heavy emphasis on outbound sourcing
- Partnering with engineering and research leadership to understand role requirements, team dynamics, and what makes a great technical fit at Tutor
- Delivering a candidate experience that reflects Tutor's culture and values at every touchpoint
- Keeping recruiting data and reporting current in Lever
- Partnering with the People Ops Manager to ensure a smooth handoff from offer acceptance to day one, so every new hire feels set up for success before they even walk in the door

## Requirements

- 2+ years of full-cycle technical recruiting experience, with exposure to software engineering, hardware, or research roles
- Proven ability to source and engage passive candidates — especially people who aren't actively looking
- Technically literate enough to have meaningful conversations with engineers and researchers about their work
- Strong relationship-builder; you play a long game and candidates remember you
- Organized and process-oriented; you keep the ATS clean and hiring managers informed
- Familiarity with ATS platforms (we currently use Lever)

Nice to Haves (Zero or More)

- Experience recruiting at an early-stage startup (Series A–C)
- Background recruiting for robotics, computer vision, ML/AI, or hardware-focused companies
- Familiarity with recruiting across multiple technical disciplines simultaneously (software, hardware, research)
- Network in Boston/Cambridge engineering or research communities
- Understanding of how to evaluate technical depth in candidates without a formal engineering background

Why Tutor? Whether you’re designing robots, closing deals, running deployments, or creating the processes that help us scale, your work doesn’t sit on a shelf. It shows up on real production floors, making physical work safer and more affordable. Our team of 160+ is driven by curiosity and a genuine love of building. Everyone here takes real ownership, learns fast, and holds a high bar while having each other’s backs. If you love hard problems and creating things that didn’t exist before, you’ll fit right in.

## Benefits

We take care of our team so they can do their best work. At Tutor, you’ll get: Fully employer-covered health insurance, so you’re protected without the premium. A managed 401(k) to help you plan for the future. Generous time off: unlimited PTO and all federal holidays off for full-time salaried employees, and 16+ days of accrued paid time off plus 1.5x pay on federal holidays for hourly employees. Regular in-office meals and team social events throughout the year. As Tutor grows, so will our benefits. We’re continuing to invest in ways to support our team at work and beyond. Tutor Intelligence is an equal opportunity employer and welcomes applicants from all backgrounds.
