Talent Acquisition Partner - Technical

Pax8•Denver, CO

About The Position

This role is an opportunity to become the driving force behind technical hiring at Pax8, partnering directly with Product & Engineering to build teams shaping their AI-powered, agentic marketplace. The position involves recruiting for a bold Product & Engineering roadmap centered on AI-enabled platforms, intelligent automation, and agentic systems. The engineering teams are building toward a future where AI agents augment MSPs, cloud marketplaces become intelligent ecosystems, platforms evolve continuously, and human and AI collaboration defines product building and scaling. The recruiter will be at the heart of this journey, understanding technology trends and bringing in the talent to drive them forward. The role is different as it involves sitting alongside product & engineering leaders, understanding their ambitions and challenges, and translating that into compelling hiring strategies. The hiring will be for teams working across modern cloud-native and AI ecosystems, including Cloud & Infrastructure (AWS, Kubernetes, Containerization, Distributed systems), Software Engineering (Microservices architectures, APIs, Event-driven systems, Modern Backend & Frontend Frameworks), Data & AI (Scalable Data Platforms, e2e Data Pipelines, AI-Enabled Products, Agentic Systems, MCP servers, LLM integrations), and Security & Platform Engineering (DevSecOps, Observability, Reliability Engineering, Internal developer platforms). Pax8’s Product & Engineering culture is built on ownership, autonomy, and deep collaboration, moving with pace, thinking creatively, and challenging each other. The company is looking for engineers who build with curiosity and purpose, care deeply about craft and continuous improvement, and thrive in collaborative environments.
