As a Sourcing Recruiter supporting the Compute‑Plex and ML Services organization, you will own the full sourcing lifecycle for highly specialized engineering and technical roles across leaders. You will partner closely with Recruiting Business Partners, Recruiting Managers, and senior technical Hiring Managers to build proactive talent pipelines — with a particular focus on Software Development Engineers (SDE), Cloud Hardware Development Engineers (CHDE), and Systems Development Engineers.

• Develop and execute multi‑channel sourcing strategies to attract passive, world‑class technical talent across Compute, PLEX, Hardware Engineering, and ML/AI domains
• Build and maintain robust, always‑on candidate pipelines for evergreen and specialized engineering roles within EC2, Nitro, HWEngS, PLEX, and ML/AI organizations
• Conduct weekly hiring manager sourcing sessions and contribute qualified candidates to established talent pools
• Perform proactive outreach, candidate engagement, and initial screening to assess technical background, career motivations, and role alignment
• Partner with Recruiting Business Partners to ensure a seamless candidate experience from first contact through offer
• Continuously map target companies, talent ecosystems, and technical communities relevant to Compute and ML Services hiring needs
• Support and lead sourcing sessions with builders and technical teams to generate referral leads and candidate pipelines
• Maintain accurate and up‑to‑date candidate records, pipeline metrics, and sourcing activity in recruiting systems
• Communicate sourcing progress, pipeline health, and market insights to stakeholders through regular updates
• Contribute to team‑wide sourcing best practices, training initiatives, and process improvements

You will spend your days identifying and engaging passive technical candidates across some of the most specialized and competitive talent pools in the industry. From mapping hardware engineering talent for Instant Platforms and HWEngS to building pipelines for EC2 and ML/AI services, no two searches are the same. You will collaborate daily with other recruiters and hiring managers, share market insights, and drive creative sourcing strategies — including sourcing sessions, referral campaigns, and target company mapping — that keep the organization ahead of the competition for top technical talent.

The Compute‑Plex and ML Services Recruiting Team supports one of AWS's most strategically critical and technically complex organizations. The organization spans EC2, Compute Services, Hardware Engineering Services (HWEngS), Instance Platforms/Nitro, Bedrock, Sage Maker, internal builder tools, and ML/AI infrastructure — the foundational layers that power Amazon and AWS at a global scale.

We are looking for a Sourcing Recruiter who is passionate about identifying and engaging top passive technical talent across some of the most competitive and niche hiring markets in the industry.

• 5+ years of recruiting mid‑ to high‑level tech talent in competitive markets
• Experience building candidate sourcing and closing strategies
• 5+ years of passive candidate generation experience
• 5+ years of experience working with CRM, ATS, or related applicant tracking software systems and analytics tools

• Experience managing and prioritizing multiple searches, projects, and client relationships
• Experience creating, measuring, and scaling workflow among candidates, hiring managers, and the recruiting team
• Experience working with essential tools of the trade, resume databases, and internet sourcing tools
