ABOUT US Blockit is a Sequoia-backed AI scheduling agent. We learn your preferences on the fly and autonomously coordinate calendars to any degree of complexity — timezones, group scheduling, IRL, etc. Blockit is like having an executive assistant who never sleeps and responds instantly. We're a small team serving thousands of users. All customers have come inbound: people encounter Blockit in email or Slack threads, adopt it, and spread it to their teams. We're keeping the team tight — but hiring a few exceptional people as we scale. ROLE We're looking for an Engineering Recruiter to own full-cycle hiring for technical roles. You'll partner with engineering leadership to shape roles, source candidates directly, and manage agency relationships.
