## Job description

## About Backblaze

Backblaze is the object storage leader in the open cloud movement, fueling customer success with cloud storage built purposefully to unlock budgets, unburden administrators, and unleash innovators. Together with our partners, we’re helping customers break free from the restrictive, overpriced legacy solutions that hold them back, and blaze forward with the full power of the open cloud in their hands.

Founded in 2007, we scaled the business with less than $3 million in outside funding until 2021, when we did a traditional IPO on the Nasdaq stock exchange. Today, Backblaze generates over $100m in revenue and is the leading specialized storage cloud - managing over three billion gigabytes of data storage for 500K+ customers in 175+ countries, including businesses, developers, IT professionals, and individuals.

We are seeking a temporary, full-time Sr. Technical Recruiter based in LATAM to support our hiring efforts during a high-growth period. This is a 6-month contract role primarily focused on technical recruiting, with flexibility to support non-technical roles as business needs evolve. This role will support hiring across LATAM and the U.S., partnering closely with hiring managers and the broader recruiting team to deliver high-quality talent pipelines and an exceptional candidate experience.

## What You’ll Do

- Own full-cycle recruiting for primarily technical roles (e.g., engineering, infrastructure, etc.), with flexibility to support non-technical roles as needed
- Partner closely with hiring managers to define role requirements, hiring strategy, and ideal candidate profiles
- Source, engage, and attract top technical talent across LATAM and U.S. markets using AI-first sourcing tools and other channels
- Build and maintain strong candidate pipelines across key regions and talent segments
- Conduct initial screens to assess technical alignment, experience, and culture fit
- Deliver a high-quality, consistent candidate experience throughout the hiring process
- Manage candidate pipelines and activity in Greenhouse, ensuring accurate tracking and communication
- Collaborate with recruiters to support global hiring efforts
- Provide light coordination support across regions as needed to ensure smooth interview processes
- Use data and metrics to track pipeline health, identify bottlenecks, and continuously improve recruiting strategies

The Right Fit

- Proven experience as a technical recruiter with a strong focus on technical roles, owning full-cycle recruiting for engineering or technical roles
- Strong sourcing background using LinkedIn Recruiter and AI sourcing tools (Gem, HireEZ, Juicebox, etc.)
- Experience hiring across LATAM and/or the U.S. strong understanding of regional talent markets
- Comfortable operating in a fast-paced, contract environment with evolving priorities
- Ability to flex across role types (technical and non-technical) based on business needs
- Strong partnership skills with hiring managers and the ability to influence hiring decisions
- Strong communication skills with the ability to engage and close passive candidates
- Experience using ATS platforms such as Greenhouse
- Data-driven mindset with the ability to track and improve recruiting performance
- Fluent in English

Bonus Points For

- Experience recruiting for cloud infrastructure, storage, or SaaS companies
- Familiarity with open source or AI/ML engineering roles
- Experience supporting global hiring teams
- Deep knowledge of LATAM markets (Mexico, Brazil, Argentina, Colombia, etc.)
