## Description

**Job DescriptionThe way companies innovate is broken.** The systems built to create and protect ideas can’t keep up with the pace of change. Today, **90% of S&P 500 company value is intangible (e.g., in intellectual property)** - yet R&D and IP teams spend **half their time buried in manual work**, sifting through patents and paperwork instead of pushing the frontier forward. The tools of creating and protecting are stuck in the past. **We’re here to fix that.Ankar is building the R&D tools for the AI era and defining what applied research will look like in the next 20 years**. We’re building infrastructure and product experiences our customers rely on every day. You’ll translate messy, ambiguous problems into clean, dependable software—and you’ll do it at the cutting-edge of AI.
We’re at an inflection point:

- **We’ve raised >$24M to date from Tier-1 VCs** like Atomico, Index Ventures, Norrsken, Daphni, and angels like the Founder of Hugging Face, CEO from Datadog, and Leaders from DeepMind and OpenAI.

- **We’re already working with the world’s most innovative companies** including Fortune 500 company **L’Oréal** and global law firm **Vorys**

- **Expanding our world-class team** with alumni from **Palantir, Amazon, and BCG** to tackle the **$1T+ innovation market**. We’re just getting started.

### **What You'll Do**

- Own the end-to-end recruitment lifecycle for **Engineering**, primarily Software Engineers and Product Managers - from sourcing and screening through interview management, offer negotiation and closing.

- Build and maintain strong talent pipelines through proactive sourcing, referrals, communities and creative outreach strategies.

- Partner closely with hiring managers to understand hiring needs, define candidate profiles and run efficient, high-quality interview processes.

- Deliver an exceptional candidate experience throughout, building strong relationships and effectively positioning Ankar to top talent

### Requirements:

**What we put behind our people**
Building at the frontier takes exceptional people. We invest accordingly.

- **Health Insurance :** Full private health & dental coverage for you and your dependents.

- **Pension:** Flexible pension scheme with up to 5% employer matching on qualifying earnings.

- **Food on us:** Team lunches twice a week, plus dinner when working late in the office.

- **Cycle to work:** Green Commute initiative scheme (up to £3k) to help you get a new bike tax-free.

- **Way we work:** We combine deep, in-person collaboration (3 days/week in our Shoreditch office) with flexibility and trust. What matters is ownership, impact, and results, not where you work from.
