About the role

  • Own the end-to-end closure of senior AI, ML, multimodal, backend, and engineering hires globally
  • Build adjacency maps of companies, labs, and communities working on relevant frontier problems
  • Generate technical screening prompts, knockout questions, and rubrics independently
  • Source beyond LinkedIn; leverage GitHub, arXiv, OSS repos, Kaggle, Twitter, Discord, Substack, niche forums, and micro-communities
  • Craft and execute compelling outreach campaigns using artifact-first hooks and Proximity’s track record
  • Drive urgency by compressing interview loops, managing notice-period negotiations and buyouts, and delivering offers quickly
  • Ensure evidence-backed sourcing with GitHub repos, demos, papers, and talks while maintaining a world-class candidate experience
  • Collaborate with global CTO offices on frontier AI problem statements and hiring strategy

Requirements

  • Proven track record as an individual contributor recruiter, not just a TA manager
  • Demonstrated success sourcing and closing frontier AI, ML, backend, or engineering talent globally
  • Strong technical comprehension; comfortable with transformer fine-tuning, multimodal pipelines (video, audio, text), MLOps stacks, scalable backend systems
  • Evidence of artifact-based sourcing such as GitHub repos, OSS contributions, research papers, or competition wins
  • Experience in persuasive multi-touch outreach campaigns and passive talent conversion
  • Global exposure and ability to recruit across India, EU, LATAM, or other regions with cost-sensitive hiring strategies
  • Nice to have: experience hiring for early-stage or hypergrowth AI and ML product teams
  • Nice to have: success recruiting engineers in video generation, lip-sync, diffusion, audio processing, or real-time streaming
  • Nice to have: familiarity with ad-tech hiring at scale (RTB, personalization, streaming infrastructure)
  • Nice to have: portfolio of outreach copy or campaigns with proven conversion results
