Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. Deepgram is the leading platform for Voice AI, providing real-time APIs for speech-to-text and text-to-speech.

- Partner with hiring managers to define role scope, leveling, and interview plans that account for both business needs and regional talent realities
- Build proactive sourcing strategies for niche and senior-level technical talent in the US and abroad
- Evaluate candidates for technical depth, impact, and alignment with Deepgram’s values across different cultural and regional contexts
- Deliver a high-quality candidate experience across time zones through clear communication, thoughtful process design, and operational rigor

- Help evolve recruiting infrastructure, tools, and interview practices to support international scale
Skills
- Hands-on experience leading global expansion efforts, including hiring across multiple countries or regions
- Experience recruiting for at least two of the following domains: Customer Engineering / Solutions Engineering, Backend / Platform Infrastructure, Product Engineering, or Developer-facing roles
- Strong technical literacy — you don't need to code, but you should understand how modern software systems, APIs, and customer-integrated technical products are built
- Proven ability to source and close senior-level and highly specialized technical talent in competitive, international markets, particularly for roles that sit at the intersection of technical depth and customer impact
- Comfort operating in ambiguity and helping teams sharpen what 'good' looks like across different regions and customer segments
- Excellent stakeholder management skills and the confidence to push back when needed — especially when balancing speed-to-hire with bar integrity for customer-critical roles
- A builder's mindset: you care about process quality, signal, and long-term scalability, not just filling seats
- Experience recruiting for AI-native, AI-first, or applied AI companies
- Deep familiarity with AI/ML systems, LLMs, real-time inference, or data-intensive infrastructure — enough to hold a credible conversation with the engineers you're hiring
