Senior Technical Recruiter - Frontier AI (India)

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.
