About us

We are building the #1 AI learning companion for 1 billion students globally.

We are building a future where every student on the planet can access, enjoy, and benefit from the highest quality education. Since founding Knowunity straight out of high school in 2020, we've been committed to revolutionising how students learn.

Millions of students already use our AI learning companion weekly. The AI learning market is at an inflection point, finally enabling true personalisation at scale, and we're determined to build the first AI learning unicorn in this space.

You will join an elite team of 60 hands-on builders serving 1 billion students worldwide. If we execute on our product vision, you will have built something generational that transforms education globally.

This is your chance to be part of building a generational company.

Your mission

The problem you’ll solve: You’ll build the team behind the #1 AI learning companion by finding, attracting, and closing exceptional talent who can scale Knowunity’s impact to 1 billion students.

Your ownership:

Own and drive the full-cycle recruitment process - from strategic sourcing to closing - for high-impact roles across all departments.
Build a talent engine powered by AI tools and automation that enables fast, high-quality hiring at scale.
Strengthen our employer brand to position Knowunity as a top destination for ambitious, mission-driven talent in tech and AI.

Why this matters: Every great product starts with the right people. The team you help build will directly accelerate our ability to grow ARR, increase DAUs, and ship the features that move us closer to reaching 1 billion students.

What success looks like: You’ll become the go-to partner for hiring managers, enabling them to move fast and make high-quality decisions with confidence. Candidates will walk away from the process energized by our culture and excited to join. You’ll bring in talent that raises the bar, fills key gaps, and contributes meaningfully to our mission. Over time, you’ll help shape a high-performance team known for speed, quality, and ambition - and create a hiring process that scales as we grow globally.

Your story

Your mindset
You’re the type of person who:

Thinks like a detective - when the usual sourcing channels go dry, you get creative and uncover talent others miss
Connects instinctively - you know how to build trust fast and turn a spark of interest into genuine excitement
Spots potential early - you look beyond job titles and buzzwords to find the signals that someone can thrive in a high-performance team
Moves fast and adapts faster - you can build structure where needed but never get stuck when things shift
Leverages AI - as a force multiplier in everything you do
Values excellence over comfort - mediocrity isn’t in your vocabulary

Your track record
You’ve helped build great teams by identifying and engaging the right people, not just the most obvious ones. Whether it’s filling high-priority roles or improving sourcing strategies, your impact shows in stronger pipelines, smoother processes, and hires who raise the bar. You’ve been trusted to run with open roles, own your results, and grow along the way.

Must-haves

Hands-on experience driving recruitment processes, ideally in fast-moving or tech-focused environments
Creative sourcing skills and strong instincts for assessing potential
Fluent English; German is a plus
Ready to work from our Berlin office 5 days/week (with some flexibility!)
