The Role
We aren't looking for a traditional "HR" person. We are looking for a People Architect. This is a hybrid, high-impact role that combines Talent Acquisition (TA) and Talent Management (TM). You will own the "Human Engine" of Proxgy, from identifying top-tier technical talent to ensuring that our culture of "no shortcuts" and deep-tech innovation is embedded into every employee’s journey.
What You Will Do
Full-Cycle Recruiting Drive aggressive, high-quality hiring for technical and business roles. You won't just post jobs. You will source, vet, and close candidates who match our 'builder' DNA.
Culture & Performance Design and implement performance feedback loops that feel like product development, iterative, data-driven, and focused on growth.
Employer Branding Articulate the Proxgy story to the market, ensuring that potential candidates understand our mission, our technology, and our high-bar environment.
Employee Lifecycle Own the entire journey including onboarding, engagement, and development. Ensure that every new hire is effectively integrated into our 'force multiplier' culture.
Operational Agility Build lean, efficient HR processes that support, rather than hinder, engineering and product velocity.
What Makes Someone Strong For This Role
Startup DNA You thrive in chaos, manage multiple priorities, and prefer 'doing' over 'delegating.'
Technical Empathy You don’t need to code, but you must be able to understand the difference between a backend developer and a firmware engineer.
End-to-End Ownership You view talent pipelines and culture as products you own, iterate, and optimize.
'No Shortcuts' Attitude You are committed to building a world-class team and are not afraid to hold a high bar for excellence.
Communication You can translate complex technical culture into compelling candidate conversations.
Requirements
2-5 years of experience in high-growth startup environments in HR, Talent, or PeopleOps.
Proven track record of scaling teams, ideally in deeptech, hardware, or SaaS environments.
Hands-on experience with modern HRIS and ATS platforms.
Ability to operate on-site in Gurugram to collaborate with the engineering and hardware labs.
