Hiring Manager

Read our mission to understand why we exist.

Seal is only going to work if we hire exceptional people faster than a company this small should be able to. The constraint is not job posts or process. It is judgment, speed, and follow-through.

As Hiring Manager, you own the system that finds, evaluates, and closes the people who should build Seal. You will work directly with founders and team leads to define the bar for each role, build candidate pipelines, run rigorous processes, and make sure great people never drift because nobody moved fast enough.

This is not a coordination role. You will source candidates yourself, write the messages, run first conversations, pressure-test signals, push interview loops forward, and keep every hiring manager honest about the standard.

No two days are the same, but you can expect to:

• Build and maintain pipelines for engineering, deployed, revenue, and operations roles
• Source exceptional candidates through direct outreach, referrals, events, and research
• Run structured first calls that test motivation, clarity, energy, and fit for Seal's pace
• Coordinate interview loops without letting process become the bottleneck
• Help founders and team leads sharpen scorecards, interview questions, and closing plans
• Track every candidate with enough discipline that no strong person is lost to ambiguity
• Improve the hiring system every week based on what is working and what is not

You should be unusually good at reading people. You should be fast in writing, fast in follow-up, and willing to chase a great candidate until there is a clear yes or no. You should care about precision: the difference between someone impressive and someone right for Seal matters.

We are a super small team of extremely hard-working people who care very deeply about every detail. We need someone who treats hiring as company-building, not administration.

The challenge is immense and the standards are absolute. We are looking for people who are compelled by this, not intimidated. If you are one of them, join us.
