Technical Recruiter

Compensation: $24k – $36k • 1.0% – 2.0%

AI, Deep Tech & the Talent Nobody Else Can Find.

🌎 Remote | US & LATAM | Paid in USD + Bonuses Per Hire

The internet is full of recruiters. We're looking for a talent hunter.

Someone who can find a Founding AI Engineer in São Paulo, an ML wizard in San Francisco, and a CTO in Mexico City — all before lunch.

Someone who knows where exceptional talent hides, understands emerging technology, and uses AI to recruit smarter, faster, and better.

AI isn't replacing recruiters. It's replacing recruiters who refuse to evolve.

Welcome to Arktika.

We're an applied AI firm building serious technology for ambitious companies. We're looking for a Contract Technical Recruiter to help us find the best technical minds across the Americas.

🔥 YOUR MISSION

• Hunt the unhuntable. Find exceptional AI, Deep Tech, Engineering, and Data talent across the US and LATAM.
• Juggle 8+ searches. Organized chaos? Great. Actual chaos? Hard pass.
• Recruit like it's 2026. Use AI agents, LLMs, automation, and clever sourcing tools to get ahead.
• Go beyond LinkedIn. GitHub, technical communities, research networks, and wherever the brilliant weirdos hang out.
• Own the process. Sourcing, outreach, screening, pipelines, interviews, and closing.
• Think like a partner. Understand the technology, challenge assumptions, and deliver talent that moves businesses forward.

🧠 THE TALENT YOU'LL BE HUNTING

• Founding AI Engineers & AI Architects
• LLM, RAG & AI Agent Engineers
• Machine Learning & MLOps Engineers
• Data Scientists & Data Engineers
• Full-Stack, Backend & Platform Engineers
• Cloud, DevOps & Security Specialists
• CTOs, VPs of Engineering & Technical Leaders

If these roles sound intimidating, this probably isn't your gig.

If they sound like a Tuesday, keep reading.

⚡ WHAT MAKES YOU DANGEROUS (IN A GOOD WAY)

• 3+ years recruiting technical talent, ideally across the US and LATAM.
• Fluent English and Spanish. Portuguese gets bonus points.
• Proven ability to manage 8–10+ active searches simultaneously.
• Hands-on experience with AI-powered sourcing and recruiting automation.
• Strong understanding of software engineering, AI, and emerging technologies.
• Exceptional organization, pipeline management, and communication.
• Resourceful, independent, and slightly obsessive about finding great people.

Extra credit: You've recruited founding engineers, built technical teams from scratch, or created your own AI sourcing workflows.

💰 THE DEAL

• 🌎 100% Remote — Work from wherever you do your best work.
• 💵 Paid in USD — Competitive contract compensation.
• 🎯 Bonuses Per Hire — Deliver results. Get rewarded.
• 🚀 Real Ownership — Your searches, your process, your results.
• 🧠 Interesting Work — AI startups, Deep Tech, and ambitious engineering teams.

🚀 THINK YOU'VE GOT THE GOODS?

If your recruiting strategy is posting jobs and praying, we're probably not a match.

But if you know how to find talent nobody else can, love a difficult search, and believe AI should be your competitive advantage?

We should talk.

Skip the generic cover letter. Send us your CV or LinkedIn and answer three questions:

1. What's the hardest technical role you've ever filled?
2. Which AI tools do you actually use to recruit?
3. How many searches can you confidently manage at once?
