Transforming our most foundational sectors of society is hard. Very hard. But we’re building an empire. And empire building is not easy. It’s deeply fulfilling, and you will learn and grow tremendously while driving sustainable impact globally with some of the largest players that make everything we eat, use, and wear. Our culture is to foster extraordinary growth within our teammates. We believe in autonomy, ownership, empowerment, demanding excellence, being mission-driven. We believe in creativity, authenticity, and extraordinary growth. We’re looking for relentless, ambitious, creative, and exceptional people to join our team and build the factory of the future.

Laminar is entering a period of rapid, high-stakes growth and we need someone who can build the engine that fuels it.

We’re hiring a Recruiter who thrives in fast-moving environments and is energized by the challenge of scaling teams quickly—without compromising quality, culture, or experience.

At Laminar, we’re transforming factory operations through automation, data intelligence, and sustainability. The people you bring in—and how you bring them in—will directly define our trajectory.

You’ll run high-volume, high-impact recruiting across technical and business roles, while also building the systems behind onboarding, performance, and retention so every new hire hits the ground running and contributes at a high level.

This role reports to the Head of Operations and partners closely with leadership, including the Co-Founders. It’s ideal for someone who wants to move fast, take ownership, and build a world-class team from the ground up.
