Estimate — the employer hasn't published pay.
Based on 17 similar mid-level HR & Recruiting jobs in San Francisco that show pay. The range is the middle half of their posted pay (25th to 75th percentile), not an offer — ask the employer for the real range.
HR & Recruiting salaries →We're the makers of Devin, the first AI software engineer.
Our team is extremely talent-dense. Among our founding team, we have world-class competitive programmers, former founders, and leaders from companies at the cutting edge of AI including Scale AI, Palantir, Cursor, Waymo, Tesla, Lunchclub, Modal, Google DeepMind, and Nuro.
Building Devin is just the first step—our hardest challenges still lie ahead. If you’re excited to solve some of the world’s biggest problems and build AI that can reason on real-world tasks, apply to join us.
As Talent Operations Coordinator supporting R&D, you're the reason candidates leave every interaction feeling genuinely taken care of—and the person our researchers, engineers, and R&D leadership count on when they need something to just work. Part calendar guru, part host, part quiet fixer of whatever's about to go sideways, you make sure hiring never becomes the bottleneck.
The people you help bring on now will shape what Cognition's R&D team looks like for years. This role fits you if you get a kick out of solving logistics puzzles fast, don't mind things changing under you week to week, and actually enjoy the chaos of meeting new people all day.
Talent Coordination for R&D
Run point on scheduling and interview logistics for the R&D team, juggling calendars, time zones, and last-minute changes so nobody's ever caught off guard
Greet and host candidates onsite, reading the room and adjusting so each person feels comfortable, whether they're a first-time interviewer or a seasoned researcher
Keep everyone in the loop. Candidates, interviewers, hiring managers with updates that are clear, timely, and never robotic
Work shoulder-to-shoulder with recruiters and hiring managers, flagging issues before they become problems and adjusting plans on the fly
Own our ATS data (Ashby) so the pipeline stays clean and nothing slips through
Operational Excellence
Poke at how the R&D team hires and runs meetings, and fix what's clunky before anyone has to ask
Pull together numbers on hiring pace, time to hire, and team growth for leadership
Help pull off team events, offsites, and research show-and-tells
Spot the cracks in the process early and build something more scalable before they turn into real problems
You've spent 2+ years doing recruiting coordination, recruiting ops, or talent ops somewhere fast and technical
You're the person who double-checks a calendar invite's time zone before it goes out, every time
A clunky process bugs you enough that you just go fix it—nobody has to ask
You genuinely care whether the interview went well for everyone involved: the candidate, the hiring manager, the interviewer squeezing this in between meetings
You can hold a dozen moving pieces at once without losing your cool
People trust you to follow through, every time, no reminders needed
You like people, all kinds of people, and it shows
You know how to keep sensitive information sensitive
Bonus points if you've supported a technical or research team before, or already know your way around Ashby
You're based in San Francisco or ready to be
Real partnership with R&D and Talent leadership, not just admin support
A shot at scaling something from the ground floor
Plenty of room to grow the role as the R&D Talent team grows
Small, sharp team where your work is genuinely felt
