About the role

Plato is an applied research lab in San Francisco redefining how frontier AI agents are trained by building high-fidelity simulations. The Head of Talent will own hiring across all functions, design interview loops, and build the candidate pipeline that sustains rapid growth while preserving Plato's rigorous standards. You will partner with founders on org design, headcount planning, and defining the recruiting bar.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
