The Mission

Most AI today is frozen in time—static models that cannot adapt to an evolving world. We think that’s backwards. Adaption’s mandate is to build efficient, real-time intelligence that continually adapts. We believe efficiency expands access, turning frontier capabilities into tools that benefit everyone. Our goal is to allow anyone to own frontier AI around the world.

Key Responsibilities1. Build out a high quality pipeline
  • High-Quality Outreach: Proactively hunt and engage top talent across academia, emerging labs, and technical communities before candidates even hit the open market.

  • Creativity: Be creative in unique outreach, create bespoke experience for recruits.

  • Leverage Modern Tools: Work daily with tools like Ashby, Juicebox, and LinkedIn Recruiter to build, track, and optimize talent pipelines rapidly.

2. Full-Cycle Execution & Candidate Experience
  • End-to-End Ownership: Manage full-cycle recruiting steps—from aggressive sourcing and initial screens to interview coordination and offer follow-ups.

  • Uncompromising Candidate Care: Deliver lightning-fast response times and an exceptional, touchpoint-rich experience for every candidate.

3. Hiring Partner Alignment
  • Tight Technical Alignment: Work side-by-side with research and engineering leads to quickly turn evolving technical roadmaps into actionable search criteria.

  • Agile Iteration: Pivot sourcing tactics fast based on market signals, feedback loops, and shifting priority roles.

What We're Looking For
  • 1–3+ Years of Tech Recruiting Experience: Early-career to mid-level recruiters with an agency or startup background who thrive in fast-paced and creative environment.

  • Extreme Bias for Action: You are organized, care deeply and pay attention to the details. You move fast, follow up faster, and care about your canidates.

  • AI Curiosity & Technical Literacy: A strong eagerness to learn the landscape of frontier machine learning (model efficiency, post-training, distributed systems) and speak credibly to technical talent.

  • Tooling Fluency: Hands-on experience with modern sourcing tools (Ashby, Juicebox, LinkedIn Recruiter, etc.).

  • Adaptability & Grit: Comfortable operating in ambiguity, solving problems on the fly, and balancing multiple urgent searches simultaneously.

Role Details
  • Type: 8-Month Contract (eligible for conversion)

  • Focus: Technical Sourcing & Full-Cycle Recruiting (AI Research & Engineering)

About us

Most AI is frozen in place - it doesn't adapt to the world. We think that's backwards. Our mandate is to build efficient intelligence that evolves in real-time. Our vision is AI systems that are flexible, personalized, and accessible to everyone. We believe efficiency is what makes this possible - it's how we expand access and ensure innovation benefits the many, not the few. We believe in talent density: bringing together the best and most driven individuals to push the boundaries of continual adaptation. We're looking for builders and creative thinkers ready to shape the next era of intelligence.

What you need to know about the Los Angeles Tech Scene

Los Angeles is a global leader in entertainment, so it’s no surprise that many of the biggest players in streaming, digital media and game development call the city home. But the city boasts plenty of non-entertainment innovation as well, with tech companies spanning verticals like AI, fintech, e-commerce and biotech. With major universities like Caltech, UCLA, USC and the nearby UC Irvine, the city has a steady supply of top-flight tech and engineering talent — not counting the graduates flocking to Los Angeles from across the world to enjoy its beaches, culture and year-round temperate climate.

Key Facts About Los Angeles Tech

  • Number of Tech Workers: 375,800; 5.5% of overall workforce (2024 CompTIA survey)
  • Major Tech Employers: Snap, Netflix, SpaceX, Disney, Google
  • Key Industries: Artificial intelligence, adtech, media, software, game development
  • Funding Landscape: $11.6 billion in venture capital funding in 2024 (Pitchbook)
  • Notable Investors: Strong Ventures, Fifth Wall, Upfront Ventures, Mucker Capital, Kittyhawk Ventures
  • Research Centers and Universities: California Institute of Technology, UCLA, University of Southern California, UC Irvine, Pepperdine, California Institute for Immunology and Immunotherapy, Center for Quantum Science and Engineering
