INTERN Talent Engineer / Recruiting Operations

ABOUT ROX Rox is building the revenue OS for the Global 2000. We are backed by Sequoia, GV, and General Catalyst, and we serve Global 2000 leaders alongside AI-native companies like Ramp and Cognition. We are a small team with an unreasonable commitment to the mission, and we hire people who want to build and to ship daily. ABOUT TALENT AT ROX Talent at Rox is engineered. We treat hiring like a product, not a queue of open reqs. The function runs on pipelines, data models, assessments, sourcing automation, and reporting, all built and owned in-house. Candidate signal is structured data. Sourcing is a pipeline. Onsites, assessments, and weekly reporting are systems, not manual checklists. The team that builds the company is built the same way we build the product: fast, observable, and reusable. THE ROLE We are hiring a Talent Engineering Intern to work directly alongside the head of talent and to help build the systems that iterate and scale as dynamically as the company does. This is not a coffee-and-calendars internship. If "scheduling" is the only word that excites you about recruiting, this is not the role. You will get unusual range for an intern: real ownership of real workflows, fast feedback, and a front-row view of how a recruiting org operates as the strategic differentiator within a category defining company. This role is ideal for someone who thrives in fast-paced environments, loves building from zero, and wants to shape how elite teams experience Rox. WHAT YOU'LL DO Run sourcing as a pipeline: enrich, score, rank, and dedupe candidate batches instead of eyeballing lists. Help build and maintain sourcing automation, from search to scoring to ranked output. Query and maintain the internal talent graph and tooling using SQL and lightweight scripts. Wire up Notion and Slack workflows for onsites, assessments, weekly updates, and pipeline tracking. Ship small tools that remove repeated steps. The rule: if you do it twice by hand, you find a way to not do it a third time. Help run candidate assessments and turn the outcomes into usable signal. Keep the system legible, so the next person can pick it up and run it. WHAT YOU'LL BRING A builder's instinct. You make things to make your own life easier. To solve real problems. Not because you saw a Linkedin post about it. Ownership. You take a problem start to finish without being managed through every step. Learning velocity. You pick up new tools fast and are not afraid of a blank terminal. Systems thinking. You see workflows, not one-off tasks, and ask how something scales before you ask how to finish it once. A bias toward shipping. A rough working version today beats a perfect plan next month. Comfort with ambiguity. Instructions will sometimes be sparse. You fill the gaps with judgment, not paralysis. You do not need a CS degree. Bonus if you have any of: - SQL, Python, or JavaScript / Node - Notion, Slack, or workflow automation experience - Comfort using AI tools to extend your own output - Prior recruiting, ops, data, or sourcing exposure HOW TO APPLY Skip the cover letter. Send us one thing you have built: a script, a spreadsheet that does real work, a small tool, an automation, or a side project. Add two or three sentences on what problem it solved and what you would do differently now.
