SeniorRecruiter

Merge Labs is a frontier research lab with the mission of bridging biological and artificial intelligence to maximize human ability, agency and experience. We’re pursuing this goal by developing fundamentally new approaches to brain-computer interfaces that interact with the brain at high bandwidth, integrate with advanced AI, and are ultimately safe and accessible for anyone to use. About the team The talent team at Merge is small, focused, and deeply embedded with the company’s research and technical leadership. We are building the early recruiting foundation for a frontier interdisciplinary lab, where every hire can shape the trajectory of the company.

You do not need to be a neuroscientist or ML researcher, but you should be intellectually curious, rigorous, and comfortable learning enough of a domain to recruit credibly. In this role, you will: - Own full-cycle recruiting for research and scientific roles across bioengineering, neuro, ML, engineering, and adjacent technical areas. - Partner with hiring managers to define role scope, must-have criteria, interview plans, and cand
