About the role

Pylon is a Series B, AI-native B2B company building the next generation of customer support.

Legacy platforms like Zendesk and Salesforce Service Cloud were built around tickets. Pylon is built around accounts, real-time collaboration, and AI-driven customer intelligence.

This is a massive market with incumbents that weren’t built for AI-first workflows.

Company

  • Series B, $51M raised

  • Backed by a16z, BCV, General Catalyst, Y Combinator

  • 75+ employees

  • Office in San Francisco

The Role

As our first recruiting hire, you'll play a mission-critical role in shaping our hiring strategy and scaling our go-to-market organization. You'll work directly with founders and leadership to attract and close talent that will drive our growth. This role reports into Pree Senarathne, Chief of Staff at Pylon.

This is a fully in-person role; we do not offer remote or hybrid options.

What you will do

  • Own the entire recruiting funnel from strategy to close for all GTM roles with high visibility and direct impact on company growth.

  • Build strong top-of-funnel pipelines through creative sourcing, referrals, and outbound strategies

  • Think outside the box to engage with and close top talent in competitive markets

  • Build and continuously improve scalable, high-performing recruiting processes from scratch

  • Track and analyze recruiting metrics (time-to-fill, offer acceptance rates, pipeline health) to inform hiring strategies and drive continuous improvement

What we are looking for

  • 3+ years of full-cycle recruiting experience at fast-paced, high-growth startups

  • Proven success for sourcing and hiring GTM and business roles

  • Ability to manage multiple searches and projects at once

  • Attention to detail and excellent communication skills with a passion for delivering great candidate experience

  • Experience with Ashby ATS and sourcing tools (e.g., Linkedin Recruiter)

🏦 401(k) retirement plan

About Pylon

Post-covid, businesses have started shifting the way they communicate with customers from email to chat platforms like Slack, Microsoft Teams, and Discord. At Pylon, we are building a real-time customer operations platform to help support, success, and sales teams at places like Hightouch, Merge, and Sardine scalably meet their customers where they live.

Just like how Zendesk made email scalable in a support context, Mailchimp made email scalable in a marketing context, and Salesforce & Outreach made email scalable in a sales context, Pylon is making chat scalable across customer-facing functions.
