Technical Recruiter

Technical Recruiter

We're looking for Technical Recruiters to own full-cycle hiring within a focused area of our engineering and research org. Each recruiter goes deep on a single domain. You'll partner directly with the founders and engineering leaders in your area to hire the researchers, systems engineers, or infrastructure experts who make Fireworks run. This is a high-ownership role at a company where great hiring is a direct competitive advantage, the talent you bring in will shape the product and the company.

You move fast, love data, enjoy 0-1 builds, keep a high bar, and treat every candidate interaction as a reflection of the Fireworks brand.

What You'll Do

• Own full-cycle recruiting: sourcing, screening, and close for technical roles within your focus area.
• Partner with the hiring managers and founders in your domain to scope roles, define calibrated hiring bars, and build pragmatic hiring strategies for a fast-moving org.
• Build and nurture pipelines of top technical talent through proactive outreach and referrals with high-touch, personalized engagement.
• Run structured, bias-aware screens that accurately assess technical depth and mission fit.
• Deliver an exceptional candidate experience end to end, acting as an ambassador for the Fireworks mission and culture.
• Drive offers and closes, using market and compensation data to guide candidates to yes.
• Keep our ATS clean and use pipeline data to report on funnel health and continuously improve the process.
• Leverage AI tooling to boost sourcing and screening efficiency without sacrificing the personal touch.

What We're Looking For

• 5+ years of full-cycle technical recruiting experience, ideally at a high-growth startup or in AI/ML, infrastructure, or deep-tech.
• A track record of closing senior and hard-to-fill engineering or research roles in a competitive market.
• Strong technical fluency, you understand engineering roles, tech stacks, and can hold credible conversations with technical candidates and hiring managers.
• Fluency with modern AI-powered sourcing/screening tools; comfortable with Ashby.
• Exceptional communication and relationship-building skills, and genuine care for candidate experience.
• Comfort with ambiguity and a fast-changing, high-bar environment.

Nice to Have

• Familiarity with the open-source AI ecosystem (PyTorch, model serving, inference).
• Experience building recruiting processes or employer-brand programs from an early stage.

• Solve Hard Problems: Tackle challenges at the forefront of AI infrastructure, from low-latency inference to scalable model serving.
• Build What's Next: Work with bleeding-edge technology that impacts how businesses and developers harness AI globally.
