Senior Technical Recruiter

Deepgram

About The Position

As a Senior Technical Recruiter, you’ll own full-cycle recruiting for some of our most complex and high-impact roles across Research, Engineering, Infrastructure, and Product, across both US and international markets. You’ll help Deepgram scale by building pipelines across geographies, navigating regional market dynamics, and partnering closely with People Ops on compliant, scalable hiring practices. This role requires comfort with deep technical conversations, strong judgment, and a systems-level view of recruiting- not just within one market, but across time zones, cultures, and talent pools.

Requirements

5+ years of experience recruiting for technical roles, with demonstrated success hiring across Engineering and/or Research-heavy teams.
Hands-on experience leading global expansion efforts, including hiring across multiple countries or regions.
Experience recruiting for at least two of the following domains: Research / ML, Infrastructure / Distributed Systems, Product.
Strong technical literacy- you don’t need to code, but you should understand how modern software systems, APIs, and ML-driven products are built. We are an AI-native company and believe in the future of these products.
Proven ability to source and close senior-level and highly specialized technical talent in competitive, international markets.
Comfort operating in ambiguity and helping teams sharpen what “good” looks like across different regions.
Excellent stakeholder management skills and the confidence to push back when needed.
A builder’s mindset: you care about process quality, signal, and long-term scalability, not just filling seats.

Nice To Haves

Experience recruiting in developer-focused or API-first companies.
Familiarity with AI, ML, speech, or data-intensive systems.
Experience supporting distributed, remote-first teams.
Experience partnering on international employment models (EOR, contractors, or direct entities).
Prior work in a fast-growing startup environment.

Build proactive sourcing strategies for niche and senior-level technical talent in the US and abroad.

Deliver a high-quality candidate experience across time zones through clear communication, thoughtful process design, and operational rigor.
