Senior Talent Acquisition Specialist
Vancouver, BC
Your New Role and Team
We’re trail blazing the future of Physical AI for general purpose robots - and to do that, we need to hire some of the most uniquely talented people on the planet. That’s where you come in.
As a Senior Talent Acquisition Specialist, you’ll play a key role in scaling our world-class team. Reporting to the Manager, People & Talent, you’ll lead full-cycle recruitment for a wide range of roles - primarily highly technical (software, hardware, ML, research), but also essential corporate and operational positions. You’ll be working on roles that often don’t exist elsewhere, partnering closely with hiring managers to bring on the brilliant minds that will shape the future of robotics.
We’re looking for someone who’s deeply curious, thoughtful, and unafraid to experiment, especially when it comes to sourcing niche, hard-to-find talent. Whether you’re diving into GitHub, combing through academic papers, or discovering talent in hidden online communities, you bring energy, creativity, and precision to every search.
This is a 6-month contract position with the potential to convert to full-time.

About Sanctuary AI
Founded in 2018, Sanctuary builds humanoid robots and a novel control system for them that integrates symbolic logic and reasoning with data-driven robot foundation models. We use our robots to collect vision, audio, touch, and proprioception data from the perspective of the robot while they perform real-world work tasks. We use that data to train multimodal robot foundation models. Because our systems are vertically integrated, we can design, deploy, and refine at scale. Our mission is to create the world's first human-like intelligence in general-purpose robots.
