About the job offer

Neuralk-AI is looking for an experienced Talent Acquisition Partner (full-time or freelance) to build and scale our hiring engine across both technical and business roles.

You will own the entire recruitment strategy - from sourcing the rarest technical talent to designing structured processes, while partnering closely with the founders and hiring managers.

This is a pivotal role at the heart of our growth.

About Neuralk

Neuralk is a deep-tech company building the next generation of Foundation Models for Data Science. Our mission is to build the predictive layer for businesses, transforming data science from a series of one-off initiatives, stitched together across silos, overly bespoke, and dependent on a handful of specialists, into a durable capability: a scalable predictive infrastructure that continuously learns from an organization’s data and powers decisions across the enterprise.

Our product is a Data Science agent, powered by our Foundation Models, that assists data scientists throughout their workflow, from problem framing to robust, production-ready models. We focus on the hardest and most common data problems in companies: structured datasets describing customers, operations, risks or financial activity.

As an early-stage, well-funded AI startup, Neuralk builds on state-of-the-art research to solve concrete business challenges. We value clarity over complexity, strong fundamentals over hype, and fast iteration grounded in rigorous engineering. Our ambition is to redefine how predictive AI is built and used in organizations, at scale.

Joining Neuralk means working hard in a fast-moving, research-driven environment, with a high level of ownership and the opportunity to shape a core product at the intersection of machine learning, engineering and real-world impact.
