About Us

At Antares, our long-term mission is to make clean energy abundant from Earth to the Asteroid Belt. We’re fueled by the belief that advanced nuclear energy can strengthen our military, solve the climate crisis, elevate global living standards, and expand humanity's presence in outer space. To achieve our mission, we’re building mass-producible, inherently safe, deployable microreactors that can be used terrestrially, underwater, and in space.

The Antares team hails from SpaceX, the White House, the Pentagon, the Department of Energy, MIT, Rigetti Computing, General Atomics, Relativity Space, Ursa Major, and National Laboratories like Idaho, Oak Ridge, Los Alamos, and Savannah River. Antares has raised over $600M in venture capital from top-tier investors and has hundreds of million-dollars on contract with the military services, NASA, and the Department of Energy.

About the Team

The People & Talent team at Antares is responsible for building the team that will help bring our mission to life. As Antares continues to grow, Recruiting plays a critical role in finding and hiring the highly specialized talent needed across engineering, manufacturing, operations, and our broader business.

In this role, you’ll report to the Head of Talent & People, supporting them and a team of three recruiters. You will have exposure to a wide range of roles, teams, and hiring challenges across the company. You’ll also partner regularly with hiring managers, interviewers, and the broader People team to keep hiring processes moving and create a thoughtful experience for every candidate.

We’re a collaborative, hands-on team operating in a fast-moving environment where priorities can change quickly. You’ll have meaningful ownership from the start while learning directly from experienced recruiters, with opportunities to expand into sourcing and other parts of the recruiting process as you grow. For someone looking to build a career in recruiting, this role offers a front-row seat to how a growing company builds its team—and the opportunity to grow alongside it.

Roles and Responsibilities

Candidate Coordination & Experience

• Own interview scheduling and coordination in Ashby across multiple recruiters, hiring teams, and roles, managing complex calendars and availability from start to finish.
• Serve as a consistent point of contact for candidates throughout the interview process, ensuring communication is timely, thoughtful, and clear.
• Welcome and host candidates during onsite interviews, manage day-of logistics, and help create a professional and memorable candidate experience.
• Own candidate travel logistics end-to-end, including coordinating flights, hotels, ground transportation, and other arrangements.
• Process and track candidate travel and interview-related expenses accurately and efficiently.
• Partner closely with recruiters and hiring managers to anticipate scheduling challenges, troubleshoot issues, and keep

• The customer and end user are often not the same. We will never build globally competitive commercial products if we lose sight of our end users and their entire interaction with the product life cycle
• Be Unconstrained by Convention - Our only limits are the laws of physics. Many, even experts, will say what we are working on is impossible. They said the same about SpaceX reusing rockets. Generationally impactful companies, by definition, must accomplish the seemingly impossible. If it were easy, it would have already been done. Never shy away from a solution because it has never been tried before, and never choose to do something because that's “how it's always been done”
• Go Where the Work Is - Never miss a chance to meet a customer, user, or stakeholder face to face, even if that means hopping on a plane. If you can’t make it, find a teammate who can channel your intentions and go in your place. Deep work can be done from anywhere, but we believe teams are built in person, and aim to maximize our time together
• Operate in the Grey - Embrace nuance in pursuit of truth. Question every fundamental assumption
