About Xaira Therapeutics

Xaira is an innovative biotech startup focused on leveraging AI to transform drug discovery and development. The company is leading the development of generative AI models to design protein and antibody therapeutics, enabling the creation of medicines against historically hard-to-drug molecular targets.

Collectively, these technologies aim to continually enable the identification of novel therapies and to improve success in drug development. Xaira is headquartered in the San Francisco Bay Area, Seattle, and London.

  • Represent the company as a talent ambassador at AI / ML and biomedical events.
  • Guide interviewers and teams to run a structured, fair, and rigorous evaluation process.
  • Use recruiting data and analytics to refine search strategies and improve hiring outcomes.

Qualifications

  • 8+ years of recruiting experience, with a focus on AI, ML, engineering, or biomedical science roles.
  • Proven success recruiting AI scientists, engineers, and interdisciplinary researchers
  • Familiarity with the AI and biomedical research ecosystem, including major conferences, publishing venues, and academic-to-industry talent flows
  • Familiarity with talent pipelines from GitHub, open-source projects, and leading academic / industry labs.
  • Strong communication and relationship-building skills with technical talent and internal leaders.
  • Data-driven approach with experience using metrics to optimize performance.
  • Passion for generative AI, biomedical innovation, and shaping the future of human health.
  • Compensation

    Hourly The base pay range for this contract temp position is expected to be $85.00-$125.00 hourly; however, the base pay offered may vary depending on the market, job-related knowledge, skills and capabilities, and experience.
