What are the responsibilities and job description for the in-house recruiter position at Wordware (YC S24)?
what is wordware?
we're building the all-in-one platform for AI development.
here's what that actually means:
the core: a programming language for building just AI assembly language for the new reasoning unit (LLM) is English, so let’s put it front and centre and incorporate best concepts from software engineering:
deployment: choose your flavor
tl;dr: we need someone who can help us build the next generational company. primary focus on GTM roles, but you'll also help scale our technical recruiting process that's already working. if you've ever looked at impossible hiring targets and thought "LFG" - we should talk.
the actual challenge:
we're building the operating system for AI, and we need to build the team that'll get us there. you'll be focused on finding the kind of people who get energized by our slightly unhinged culture and massive technical challenges. the kind who read our job posts and think "holy shit, this is my tribe."
what you'll actually be doing:
ps: we're looking for someone who wants to build long-term. if you just want to hit some quick hiring targets and bounce, this isn't it. but if you want to help build the next iconic tech company, let's talk.

here's what that actually means:
the core: a programming language for building just AI assembly language for the new reasoning unit (LLM) is English, so let’s put it front and centre and incorporate best concepts from software engineering:
- conditional statements
- loops
- function calling functions (aka in fancy language multi-agent communication) — this is more difficult than it seems because of the needed type system (see below)
- type system (especially important for interacting with multimodal LLMs where one output might have to be transformed to be passed on forward to the next step of the flow which might incorporate an LLM which can only interact with specific modalities)
- easy linking with Tools (custom or prebuilt and ready to use: speech-to-text, image generation, ElevenLabs, research and many more
deployment: choose your flavor
- api mode:
- plug your AI engine straight into your product
- forget about prompt management hell
- focus on features, not infrastructure
- workflow mode:
- automate your work with triggers and actions
- start small, scale to entire business processes
- connect everything - it's an operating system for AI
- wordapps & repository:
- deploy as public/private web apps
- share your flows github-style
- let others fork and build on your work
- control what people see (from basic UI to full process)
