Talent Acquisition Intern

About Auric AI Labs

Auric AI is building India's next-generation Multi-INT Search and Reasoning platform for defense and intelligence applications. Our systems process large volumes of multi-source data, including satellite imagery, SAR, signals, and documents, to generate actionable intelligence at scale. We are a small, high-output founding team that operates with high autonomy and ownership.

Role Overview

We are expanding our talent acquisition function and are looking for a second person to join the team. You will be recruiting for technically demanding roles in AI researchers, computer vision engineers, and applied AI engineers. This is a full recruiting role where you will own the process end-to-end, from sourcing through to offer.

Key Responsibilities

• Own end-to-end hiring pipelines for technical roles across AI research, computer vision, and applied engineering.
• Proactively source candidates through LinkedIn, GitHub, research publications, and academic and professional networks.
• Conduct first-round screens and structured interviews, including asking technical questions to assess how candidates think.
• Use AI tools to evaluate technical responses and build domain understanding over time.
• Build and maintain a strong pipeline for current and future roles.
• Work closely with the founding team to continuously refine the hiring bar and interview process.

Who We Are Looking For

The single most important quality is first-principles thinking. We value individuals who break down problems from the ground up. Beyond that, we value:

• Recent graduate from the 2025 or upcoming 2026 batch; freshers strongly preferred.
• High agency: ability to identify needs and act without explicit direction.
• Direct communicator: clearly expresses thoughts and asks when unsure.
• Comfort operating without a playbook in a fast-moving environment.
• Genuine curiosity about how things work, with evidence of deep engagement in a subject.

What We Are Not Looking For

Prior HR or recruiting experience is not required. We are not looking for candidates who prioritize process over judgment or require extensive structure to act.

Why Join Us

• Recruit for some of the most interesting and high-stakes technical roles being built in India today.
• Direct exposure to a founding team operating in defense AI.
• Your work will have an immediate, visible impact on the company's growth.
• Competitive internship stipend with the opportunity to convert to a full-time role based on performance.
