Ayar Labs is shattering AI data bottlenecks by moving data at the speed of light. As pioneers of co-packaged optics (CPO), we are using light instead of electricity to move data faster, further, and with a fraction of the energy needed to fuel the explosive growth of AI models.
 
Backed by industry giants like NVIDIA, AMD, Mediatek and Intel and manufactured in partnership with the world’s leading semiconductor ecosystem, Ayar Labs’ co-packaged optics solution is key to unleashing next-generation AI scale-up architectures. 
 
 We are scaling rapidly and a highly productive, dedicated and knowledgeable Talent Acquisition group is critical to our success. We’re looking for a Technical Recruiter to own full recruiting life cycle for deeply technical engineering roles in a fast-paced startup environment.

Ensure candidate compensation maps correctly to job grade guidelines and budget.
Close the candidate!...clearly communicating why Ayar Labs is an amazing opportunity, which means being a subject matter expert on our culture, our benefits, our market/revenue potential, industry trends, etc.).
