Founding Talent Lead

tl;dr: Why choose Flint?

⚡We’re winning quickly.

• We’re backed by Accel, by the same partner who led the series A for Scale, Vercel, and Sentry. We launched out of stealth 4 months ago (TechCrunch), and are already powering pages that generate hundreds of thousands of dollars in pipeline + featured on CNBC.

⚡We’re drowning in demand.

• Flint has thousands of companies on our waitlist with more coming inbound every day. The market has spoken. We're growing our team so we can stop turning away customers.

⚡Recognized names that turn heads.

• We’ve earned the trust of customers like Cognition, Modal, Reducto, and Tandem + more we don’t publicly reference. (Our new gong has been put to great use!)

About Flint: Autonomous websites

Flint is defining the next generation of websites: ones that can constantly build and optimize themselves based on visitor behavior and market changes. Today, we deliver on-brand landing pages on your domain fast, without any rebuilds or engineers. We are backed by Accel, Sheryl Sandberg (former Meta COO)'s venture fund SBVP, and Neo.

The vision

Sandberg instantly understood Flint’s vision. “I was sharing how it took (me) five teams three months to build one A/B test just to increase conversion by 10% on our Google ad,” Lim said. “And then she stopped me, [and] said, ‘Michelle, it was 140 people at Meta who had to do this’.” — TechCrunchImagine a world where your website launches new pages, tests creative, and optimizes performance entirely autonomously. Just as autonomous vehicles respond to real-world inputs like road conditions and traffic patterns, Flint-powered websites respond to external signals such as competitive shifts, user behavior, and trending search queries.

The team

"One of the most talent-dense AI startups... each member of the early Flint team has a track record, and as a team, they perform like athletes. Amazing to watch." - Dan Levine, AccelFlint is led by co-founders Michelle Lim, Engineer #1 turned Head of Growth and Product at Warp, and Max Levenson, engineering leadership at autonomous vehicle startup Nuro, then Engineer #2 at Vooma (YCS23).

Every single member of the Flint team has been a founding engineer / founder. Early stage best practices are in our team’s DNA. Because of that, our team knows how to catalyze hockey stick growth, but just as critically, how to navigate it sustainably to create $XB valued companies. After all, we’ve done it before.

We are alums of Netflix, Scale, Carrot, and Shepherd (YC W21), and work together in-person out of historic Jackson Square.

The product

Companies have used Flint to hit goals like….

• Ranking #1 on AI answer engines like ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google AI Overview

• Driving 50% higher ad conversion rates on Google Ads months ahead of schedule

• Generating hundreds of thousands of dollars in pipeline revenue

The first version of Flint's autonomous website platform produces on-brand landing pages from content briefs and prompts in minutes. Flint ingests a company's existing design system (components, brand guidelines, and visual tokens), then generates fully-coded landing pages that live on the customer’s top-level domain, on a subfolder at URLs like companysite.com/campaign-name

The role: Founding Talent Lead

In the last few months, we've proven repeatedly to the market that Flint is the team to build the future of the internet. It's now come time for us to invite a recruiting leader in-house to build out the Talent / People function from the ground up.

Flint has invested in the People function from Day 0. Hiring, investing in, and growing our people is an often overlooked but critical pillar of startup success.

We're looking for a high octane, high care person to scale our engineering and GTM functions while maintaining our founding team's talent density.

The candidate we're looking for does the following:

• Own the end-to-end recruiting function: sourcing, recruiting, coordinating, closing

• Build a world class talent brand - we want everyone in the AI tech and marketing community to know Flint's reputation for talent density

• Position Flint front and center in front of world class talent

• Get sky's-the-limit creative on top of funnel sourcing - events, videos, growth hacks

• Strong bonus points for a strong social media presence

• Directly influence the way Flint nurtures, hires, onboards and cares for our talent

• Partner directly with the founders and their strong networks

• Lead by influence from the inside, mobilizing our team to leverage our career networks

• Maintain, manage and report on candidate pipelines, incl. relentless outbound sourcing, referrals, and proactive talent mapping

• Build the heart of our recruiting engine with scalable systems and processes over time

• Report on key talent acquisition metrics (e.g., time‐to‐hire, source effectiveness, candidate quality, funnel conversion) to drive iteration and improvement

Basic qualifications:

• You have 3+ years of recruiting experience, ideally with deep technical recruiting exposure.

• You're experienced using Ashby as an applicant tracking system, running outbound sourcing sequences, and enriching leads

• You're familiar with mainstays like LinkedIn Recruiter but also with AI sourcing tools like Juicebox and Gem

• You’re familiar with highly competitive talent acquisition (aka. hiring during "talent wars")

• You've leaned into AI and automation in setting up hiring systems and processes

• You’re comfortable navigating ambiguity and iterating through processes

• You’re an excellent, strategic communicator:

• High empathy - for an overall great candidate experience

• Identification - great "talent sense" - able to identify potential

• Closing - convincing without ever being disingenuous.

Preferred qualifications:

• You have experience in hiring AI talent

• Active social media presence - you live on X and LI yourself (not just stalking networks)

• You are well connected / embedded in tech networks

• You genuinely understand the massive market opportunity for Flint (every business has a website), and have maybe lived this experience

• You are excited by the prospect of being personally responsible for hiring the team that defines a new category

• You have prior experience in the People function beyond talent acquisition (total benefits, workplace, etc).
