Maya M. Nair
Technical Talent Partner at ServiceTitan
Recruiting technical talent for ServiceTitan and Aspire while sharing insights on AI agents and job search strategies.
Intro
I'm Maya M. Nair, currently a Technical Talent Partner at ServiceTitan. My journey is a bit unique—I started with a Master’s in Communication Engineering and even built Android apps before realizing my true calling was in the 'human' side of tech. Over the last decade, I’ve navigated the talent landscapes of LinkedIn, Adobe, and Microsoft, focusing on everything from AI/ML to high-performance computing. I’m deeply passionate about inclusive hiring and believe that company culture is the real engine behind any AI strategy. Beyond just filling roles, I care about helping people navigate the 'hidden' job market and supporting those who’ve been hit by layoffs. Whether you're looking to join a high-impact team at ServiceTitan, need a fresh pair of eyes on your resume, or just want to grab a coffee and talk about the future of Agentic AI, I’m always up for a 'Carpe Diem' moment.

Opinions
- Culture is the ultimate bottleneck or accelerator for AI strategy, not the tech itself.
- Interviewer responsibility is to put nervous candidates at ease; reject interrogation-style interviews.
- A job loss does not define a person's worth.
- Inclusive hiring is about creating space for everyone to show up as their best self.
