Senior Technical Recruiter - Frontier AI (LATAM)
Join one of the world's most ambitious AI technology companies, shaping the future of Sports, Media, and Entertainment.
Proximity Works helps global brands discover high-impact AI use cases, build transformative tech stacks, and scale to hundreds of millions of users.
Since 2019, Proximity Works has created and scaled AI-driven products used by 697 million daily users, generating $73.5 billion in enterprise value for our partners.
We are a global team headquartered in San Francisco with offices in Los Angeles, Dubai, Mumbai, and Bangalore.
We partner with some of the biggest names in sports, media, and entertainment, solving complex problems with cutting-edge AI.
Role Summary
We are seeking a hands-on Senior Technical Recruiter who will individually own the end-to-end closure of frontier AI, ML, and backend roles.
This is not a traditional TA manager role.
It is a high-impact recruiting position requiring technical fluency, first principles sourcing, and persuasive outreach.
You will identify, engage, and close exceptional global talent who will help Proximity build world-class AI products and engineering platforms.
What You'll Do
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 as trusted partners to global sports, media, and entertainment leaders
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
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 involving video, audio, and text, MLOps stacks, scalable backend systems, and related domains
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
Success recruiting engineers in video generation, lip-sync, diffusion, audio processing, or real-time streaming
Familiarity with ad-tech hiring at scale (RTB, personalization, streaming infrastructure)
Portfolio of outreach copy or campaigns with proven conversion results
What Success Looks Like
6 to 8 successful frontier hires per quarter across India, EU, and LATAM markets
At least 80 percent of sourced candidates are evidence-backed through OSS, papers, or demos
