Periodic Labs

Technical Recruiter

• Own full-cycle sourcing across technical roles spanning AI/ML research, software infrastructure, and physical sciences (materials, chemistry, physics, lab engineering)

• Attend conferences, research symposia, and recruiting events to build Periodic Labs’ presence and network in key talent communities
• Collaborate with the recruiting coordinator and Head of Recruiting to ensure sourced candidates have a seamless handoff and excellent early experience
