Our GPU cloud bolsters technical capabilities and directly supports strategic business outcomes, including cost management, rapid innovation, and environmental responsibility.
We thrive on a culture of relentless innovation, ownership, and accountability, where every team member takes pride in their work and drives it with excellence and urgency. As an Nscaler, you’ll build trust through openness and transparency, where everyone is inspired to do their best work.

About the Role
We’re looking for a Senior Technical Recruiter to lead end-to-end hiring for the teams building Nscale’s AI infrastructure platform. You’ll partner closely with engineering and product leaders to hire exceptional talent across cloud infrastructure, distributed systems, platform engineering, developer tooling, and open-source ecosystems.
This is a hands-on, high-impact role. You will personally run critical searches, bring sharp market intelligence to hiring decisions, and help build the teams that make Nscale’s GPU cloud faster, more reliable, and easier for customers to use.
What You’ll Be Doing
Own full-cycle recruiting for technical roles, from intake and calibration through sourcing, assessment design, offer management, and closing.
Partner with senior engineering, product, and infrastructure leaders to define talent needs, hiring plans, and compelling candidate value propositions.
Proactively build and engage high-yield talent pipelines, focusing heavily on outbound sourcing within hard-to-reach engineering communities.
Bring practical market insight on talent availability, compensation, competitor mapping, and realistic time-to-fill expectations.
Design and continuously improve structured interview processes, including clear competencies, calibrated scorecards, and evidence-based debriefs.
Develop creative sourcing strategies for highly technical, passive candidates in competitive markets.
Deliver an exceptional candidate experience that is timely, transparent, informed, and appropriately high-touch.
Use recruiting data and market feedback to influence hiring priorities and improve delivery over time.
About You

Demonstrated experience hiring software engineers and technical leaders for a Neocloud, hyperscaler, AI infrastructure company, cloud platform, or open-source software business.
Strong understanding of technical talent markets across areas such as cloud infrastructure, distributed systems, Kubernetes, GPU/AI platforms, storage, networking, platform engineering, developer tools, or developer experience.
Strong functional knowledge of the modern open-source AI infrastructure ecosystem, such as vLLM, Ray, PyTorch, DeepSpeed, Hugging Face TGI, or similar.
Proven ability to recruit across a range of seniorities, including senior individual contributors and technical leadership roles.
Excellent stakeholder management skills, with the confidence to influence and constructively challenge senior technical leaders.
Strong sourcing capability, including market mapping, talent research, targeted outreach, and building long-term candidate relationships.
A high bar for quality, process, and candidate experience, with comfort using structured and data-informed hiring practices.
Ability to operate with pace, sound judgement, and ownership in a high-growth environment.
Nice to Have
Experience recruiting for AI infrastructure, GPU cloud, data centre software, developer platforms, or open-source communities.
Familiarity with hiring technical talent across the USA and Europe, including location, compensation, and compliance complexity.
Experience supporting rapid technical team growth while maintaining a high hiring bar.
Experience partnering with compensation and people teams on levelling, offers, and market benchmarking.
Why This Role Matters
