This is a fully embedded RPO engagement, partnering closely with technical leadership to scale the core systems that power next-generation AI platforms.
In this role, you’ll take ownership of hiring across network engineering, distributed infrastructure, and high-performance computing environments, working directly with senior engineering stakeholders to attract and secure highly specialized talent.
- Collaborate closely with Engineering Managers, Directors, and VPs across network, systems, and platform teams.
- Lead intake sessions to deeply understand network architecture needs (e.g., low-latency systems, high-throughput environments, data center networking).
- Advise stakeholders on market conditions, talent availability, and competitive hiring strategies within niche infrastructure domains.
Lead end-to-end recruiting for roles such as:
- Network Engineers (DC networking, backbone, edge)
- Network SRE / Infrastructure SRE
- Systems & Infrastructure Engineers
- Distributed Systems Engineers
- HPC / GPU networking specialists (RDMA, InfiniBand, etc.)
- Manage sourcing, outreach, technical screening, interview coordination, and offer processes.
Develop proactive sourcing strategies focused on networking and infrastructure talent across:
- LinkedIn Recruiter, GitHub, and niche engineering communities
- Open-source projects, networking forums, and performance engineering circles
- Execute advanced boolean searches and pattern recognition to identify hard-to-reach candidates with experience in large-scale, latency-sensitive environments.
- Maintain strong ownership over pipeline health, candidate experience, and stakeholder communication.
- Ensure tight feedback loops and alignment across interview panels.
- Keep ATS data clean, structured, and actionable (Ashby preferred).
- Identify process gaps and recommend improvements to accelerate hiring velocity without sacrificing quality.
- Operate as a strategic partner, balancing Blaze Talent’s high-touch delivery with the client’s aggressive scaling goals.
5+ years of full-cycle technical recruiting experience, with strong exposure to network, infrastructure, or systems engineering roles.
Proven track record hiring for:
- Network engineering (data center, backbone, cloud networking)
- SRE / infrastructure roles
- Distributed systems or performance-critical environments
- Experience supporting high-growth, infrastructure-heavy organizations (cloud, AI, data center, or deep tech).
- Advanced sourcing skills, including boolean expertise and familiarity with tools like LinkedIn Recruiter, GitHub, and modern ATS platforms (Ashby a plus).
- Ability to engage credibly with senior technical stakeholders on networking and infrastructure topics.
- Highly organized, self-directed, and comfortable operating in fast-paced, ambiguous environments.
- Strong communication and relationship management skills with both candidates and hiring teams.
- Fully remote-ready with reliable equipment and internet.
- Availability during U.S. business hours (PST preferred).
- $50–$90/hour
