Technical Recruiter

About Tutor

We believe general-purpose, generally-intelligent robots will be built in our lifetimes. Robots will work in our factories, move our goods, walk on our streets and eventually be in our homes. To build that future, research and deployment must work in lockstep: real-world operation must make the technology better and better technology must make deployment easier. We're looking for the thinkers, builders, and researchers who want to be part of that loop.

As an AI software company that deploys its inventions directly into the facilities that need them, on state-of-the-art hardware, every line of code written at Tutor has a direct impact on the global, physical economy.




Our Culture

We believe that something truly special can happen when talented, motivated people work together; at Tutor, every member of our team is empowered to have real impact in everything that they do. We’re characterized by both technical excellence and next-level collaboration and respect.

About 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.

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

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
