Hadrian - Manufacturing the Future

Hadrian is building autonomous factories that help aerospace and defense companies manufacture rockets, satellites, jets, and ships up to 10x faster and up to 2x cheaper. By combining advanced software, robotics, and full-stack manufacturing, we are reinventing how America produces its most critical parts.

We recently raised $260 million dollar Series C to accelerate this mission. We are excited to be launching a new Factory in Mesa, Arizona, a 270,000 square foot facility that will create 350 new jobs immediately. We are opening a new headquarters to support thousands of future hires, launching Hadrian Maritime to serve naval production, and introducing a Factory-as-a-Service model that delivers complete systems instead of individual parts.

Hadrian works with startups, Tier 1 and Tier 2 suppliers, and major defense contractors across space, shipbuilding, and aviation to scale production, reduce costs, and accelerate delivery on mission-critical programs. We are backed by leading investors including Lux Capital, Founders Fund, and Andreessen Horowitz. Our fast-growing team is united by a shared mission to reindustrialize American manufacturing for the 21st century and beyond!

The Role

As a Recruiter, youll play a pivotal role in scaling our talent across a broad range of disciplines. From software engineers and hardware specialists to operations professionals and executive leaders, youll work on high-impact roles that shape the future of our company and the industry.

This is not a traditional recruiting role. Youll be embedded in a fast-paced, technical environment where agility, resourcefulness, and deep partnership with hiring managers are key. If youre excited about building diverse, high-performance teams across functions and levels, this is the role for you.

Youll be joining a growing Talent team that is deeply collaborative, mission-driven, and passionate about building at scale. We believe great hiring is a team effort, and we operate with transparency, urgency, and empathy. Our team supports a rapidly expanding organization and partners closely with leadership to shape hiring strategy, candidate experience, and employer brand.

We are looking for multiple Recruiters:

• Software Recruiter - Owns hiring for engineers and technical talent that power Hadrians software and automation systems

• G&A Recruiter - Builds out critical business functions across Finance, HR, Legal, and Operations to support our rapid growth.

• Go-To-Market - Drives hiring for sales, marketing, and customer-facing roles that bring Hadrians solutions to market.

What Youll Do

• Own full-cycle recruiting across a diverse set of functions (e.g. Software, Hardware, Operations, Leadership)

• Partner with hiring managers to deeply understand role requirements, success profiles, and team dynamics

• Develop creative sourcing strategies to build diverse, high-quality pipelines

• Deliver exceptional candidate experiences that reflect Hadrians culture and values

• Lead efficient and scalable interview processes, balancing speed with quality

• Leverage data to track recruiting performance, identify bottlenecks, and inform decisions

• Contribute to strategic initiatives including employer branding, talent market mapping, DEI efforts, and recruiting operations

• Act as a trusted thought partner to stakeholders across the company, influencing hiring decisions with clarity and insight

Who You Are

• You have 5+ years of full-cycle recruiting experience across multiple functions or domains

• Youre energized by variety and thrive in environments where no two roles are the same

• Youre a strong communicator who can build trust with hiring managers and candidates alike

• You are data-literate, process-oriented, and relentless about improving the craft of recruiting

• You approach recruiting with curiosity, resilience, and a bias for action

• You care deeply about candidate experience and team dynamics

• Bonus: Experience hiring in technical, manufacturing, or early-stage startup environments

Compensation

For this role, the target salary range is $100,000 - $175,000 (actual range may vary based on experience).

This is the lowest to highest salary we reasonably and in good faith believe we would pay for this role at the time of this posting. We may ultimately pay more or less than the posted range, and the range may be modified in the future. An employee's pay position within the salary range will be based on several factors, including, but not limited to, relevant education, qualifications, certifications, experience, skills, geographic location, performance, and business or organizational needs.

• 100% coverage of medical, dental, vision, and life insurance plans for employees

• 401k
