Serval is an AI-native automation platform transforming how enterprises operate. We build intelligent agents that understand real-world workflows and execute them end-to-end — replacing manual processes and rigid legacy systems with adaptive, learning software. Founded in early 2024, Serval is already trusted by companies like Fox, Notion, Perplexity, Vercel, and Brex to automate high-volume, high-friction operational work across their organizations.
At the core of Serval is an agentic AI platform that turns natural language into production-grade workflows. Our agents don’t just respond to requests — they reason, take action across systems, and continuously improve with usage. What began with operational use cases has quickly evolved into a horizontal AI automation layer used across IT, HR, Finance, Security, Legal, and Engineering.
Our mission is to eliminate repetitive, manual work across the enterprise and give teams leverage through intelligent automation. Long term, we’re building the universal AI operations layer — a system of agents that sits across business functions and runs the workflows that keep modern companies moving.
We’re backed by leading investors including Sequoia Capital, Redpoint Ventures, Meritech, First Round, General Catalyst, Elad Gil, and others.
As Serval's first EMEA Talent Partner, you'll build and own recruiting for an entire region, starting from scratch. You'll be the founding recruiter on the ground as Serval expands into EMEA, running searches across both technical and go-to-market roles rather than specializing in one lane. Think full-stack recruiting: an engineer in the morning, an enterprise AE in the afternoon.
You'll partner closely with the Head of Talent and EMEA hiring managers to define what good looks like in a market where Serval has no established presence yet, drive outbound sourcing into two very different candidate pools, and create a candidate experience that punches above what a company our size should be able to deliver. This role is ideal for someone who's recruited both engineering and sales talent in fast-paced SaaS environments and wants the ownership that comes with being employee one for a region.
