Gradial is a Seattle-based startup enabling digital experiences at the speed of thought. We empower marketers and creatives to implement their ideas directly, with software that adapts over time. Our platform automates website and design system updates, large-scale migrations to new design systems, and continuous content optimization while adhering to company and product brands.

Backed by world class investors and a recent Series A raise of $13 million—we’re looking to scale our platform and expand our team. At Gradial, we operate with extreme ownership, bias towards action, and critical path planning. We tackle problems from first principles, question assumptions, and find creative solutions. If you want to take risks, work on groundbreaking technology, and see the direct impact of your work, Gradial is where you belong.

Role Overview

Gradial is hiring a Recruiter on a 6-month fixed term contract to help us scale our team across technical and go-to-market roles. You’ll drive the full hiring cycle with a strong emphasis on sourcing, building pipelines, and creating an outstanding candidate experience. Your day-to-day will include focusing on our outbound sourcing efforts to increase the quality of candidates through creative means. This role is in-office and reports to the People & Operations Lead.

Responsibilities

  • Source and engage top talent across engineering, product, design, sales, and customer success.
  • Own the end-to-end hiring process: sourcing, screening, scheduling, coordinating interviews, and managing offers.
  • Partner closely with hiring managers to define role requirements and craft compelling job descriptions.
  • Build and maintain an active candidate pipeline through direct outreach and networking.
  • Deliver a best-in-class candidate experience that reflects Gradial’s values and culture.
  • Track progress and hiring metrics to ensure a transparent, efficient process.

Requirements

  • 2+ years of recruiting experience in a high-growth environment.
  • Strong sourcing skills and fluency with modern recruiting tools and platforms.
  • Experience managing full-cycle hiring across both technical and commercial roles.
  • Excellent communication and organizational skills, able to manage multiple searches at once.
  • Collaborative, proactive, and energized by working in-office alongside the team.

Desirable

  • Experience hiring in early-stage startups or scaling teams from the ground up.
  • Familiarity with AI, SaaS, or marketing technology industries.

The base salary range for this position is $100,000 – $120,000 annually (pro-rated for 6 months). Final compensation will be determined based on factors such as experience, skills, and qualifications. In addition to base salary, this role may be eligible for performance-based bonuses and equity awards. Gradial offers a comprehensive benefits package, including medical, dental & vision insurance, 401K retirement plan, paid time off, paid sick leave and other employee wellness programs.

You'll thrive here if you...

  • Learn quickly and actively seek out new challenges.
  • Embrace AI as a core tool for problem-solving, creativity and scale.
  • Show a strong work ethic, high ownership and bias toward action.
  • Communicate clearly, directly and with curiosity.
  • Thrive in fast-paced, hyper-growth environments where building better > maintaining status quo.

AI Literacy & Interviewing Tools

As an AI-first company, we prioritize AI literacy as a core competency in our hiring decisions. We’re excited by candidates who thoughtfully apply AI tools in their work, but during interviews we’re focused on you. This is your opportunity to show how you think, communicate, and solve problems. Over-reliance on AI-generated responses during the interview process (especially when it obscures your own voice) will result in disqualification. We want to understand your unique perspective and how you approach challenges, both with and without AI.

What we offer

  • Competitive salary and meaningful equity
  • Comprehensive health, dental and vision coverage
  • Fast-paced environment with flexibility and ownership
  • Real impact, zero bureaucracy
  • A front-row seat to building category-defining AI infrastructure

Gradial is dedicated to creating an environment where diverse perspectives are valued and all team members can grow. We offer competitive compensation, equity, flexible work hours, comprehensive benefits, and a collaborative culture focused on learning and impact.
