Role Description

Blaze Talent is hiring a seasoned Contract Technical Recruiter to lead full-cycle engineering hiring for a confidential, high-growth client in the AI Infrastructure space. This is an RPO engagement where you’ll be deeply embedded with their technical leadership team, helping scale engineering functions that power next-generation AI systems.

You’ll play a critical role in building out teams across distributed systems, platform engineering, hardware-accelerated compute, and AI-focused infrastructure—working directly with hiring managers to fill highly specialized technical roles.

What You’ll Do

• Partner With Engineering Leadership:
  • Work closely with engineering managers, Directors, and VPs to shape hiring strategy, understand technical requirements, and define ideal candidate profiles.
  • Attend intake meetings, calibrate on candidate quality, and advise on market realities for niche AI/infra talent.
• Own Full-Cycle Recruiting for Technical Roles:
  • Lead recruiting for roles such as Backend Engineers, Systems/Infrastructure Engineers, Distributed Systems Engineers, SRE/DevOps talent, GPU/accelerated computing specialists, and other high-impact technical positions.
  • Manage sourcing, candidate outreach, screening, interview alignment, and offer support end-to-end.
• Develop & Drive Sourcing Pipelines:
  • Build top-of-funnel pipelines through targeted sourcing across LinkedIn Recruiter, GitHub, Stack Overflow, AI/infra communities, meetups, and technical networks.
  • Run sophisticated boolean searches and leverage pattern-matching to uncover hard-to-find talent.
• Run a Tight Recruiting Process:
  • Own interview scheduling, feedback loops, candidate communication, and pipeline health reporting.
  • Provide consistent updates to internal stakeholders, ensuring transparency and alignment.
  • Maintain clean data hygiene across ATS tools and recruiting systems.
• Enhance Recruiting Operations:
  • Identify bottlenecks or process improvements that elevate candidate experience and hiring velocity.
  • Bring a consultative approach that supports both the client and Blaze Talent’s high-touch delivery standards.

Qualifications

• 5+ years of full-cycle technical recruiting experience, ideally split across agency and in-house environments.
• Demonstrated success hiring software engineers, systems engineers, SREs, distributed systems specialists, ML/AI infrastructure talent, or similarly technical roles.
• Experience supporting high-growth or scaling engineering teams, especially within deep tech, cloud, AI, or infrastructure-heavy companies.
• Strong sourcing capabilities with advanced boolean skills and fluency using tools like LinkedIn Recruiter, Juicebox, GitHub search, and ATS platforms (Ashby preferred).
• Comfortable working independently in a fast-moving, high-complexity environment with multiple technical stakeholders.
• Excellent communication, organization, and relationship-building skills with both candidates and hiring teams.
• Fully remote-ready with your own laptop and high-speed internet connection.
• Available during US business hours (PST preferred).
