Since our founding in 2023, we have formed partnerships with leading healthcare organizations and are on track to serve hundreds of thousands of patients on our platform within the next year. We have raised over $35M from a16z, Google Ventures, Pear VC and other top-tier VC firms.

Our team combines deep expertise in medicine (Harvard, Mt. Sinai, Mass General, UCSF) and technology (MIT, Google, DeepMind, NVIDIA, Stripe, Meta) — and we’re looking for exceptional people to join us as we scale.

Join us as we build the future of AI in healthcare!

About The Role

We're looking for a Talent Partner who lives and breathes Engineering hiring. You know the difference between a great engineer and a good one, and you care deeply about getting that call right. You bring that same rigor to Product, with enough depth to recognize strong product thinking when you see it.

This is a role for someone who moves fast and holds a high bar at the same time. You've built pipelines, closed hard searches, and pushed back on mediocre hires. You believe talent density is a strategy, and you want to be somewhere the stakes are real.

You're genuinely excited by what Counsel is building at the intersection of AI and healthcare. That excitement makes you a better partner to hiring managers, a better evaluator of candidates, and more invested in getting every hire right.

This is a full-time, 6-month contract with a path to permanent, hybrid out of Boston or NYC (Flatiron).

What You'll Do

• Own hiring across Engineering and Product, from first sourcing touch to signed offer, with support from senior team members on the harder calls

• Partner with hiring managers to understand what great looks like for each role and keep pipelines moving

• Source candidates directly instead of waiting on inbound

• Own Ashby data integrity for every requisition you touch

• Take feedback on calibration and level up your evaluation skills fast

Requirements

• 3-5 years of full-cycle recruiting experience, with meaningful time in technical roles

• Working knowledge of engineering skill sets across backend, frontend, full-stack, ML/AI, data, and DevOps, beyond keyword matching

• Some exposure to Product recruiting, or a clear hunger to build that muscle

• Comfortable in an ATS (Ashby experience a plus, not required)

• A track record of sourcing outbound, not just running process on inbound

You're a great if

• You're curious by nature and genuinely into AI, building with it and forming real opinions on your own time

• You want to help define what Talent Architecture looks like when a TA function is AI-native from day one, not bolted on later

What We Offer

• Impact: Ownership from week one, not a training wheels role

• Growth: A path to permanent based on real performance

• Exposure: Direct access to leadership at a company building at the edge of AI and healthcare

• Compensation: Competitive contract rate, with equity on conversion to permanent

-----------------------------------------------------

Our Values

• Patients come first.
  We are clinicians 1st, technologists 2nd. We act with patient trust/safety at the center of every decision.

• Innovate with optimism.
  We are optimistic as we build the future of care delivery from first principles. Challenge the status quo when needed, no sacred cows.

• Right answer wins.
  Debate openly and pick the strongest path. We optimize for the company, not functions. We win and lose as a team.

• Simplicity over complexity.
  We choose clear, elegant solutions and avoid adding complexity that does not serve patients or the team.

• Do fewer things, well.
  We focus, and hold ourselves to the highest bar and pursue excellence in those areas.
