About Makai Labs

Makai Labs is an AI and data solutions company building the infrastructure, products, and teams that power enterprise automation and human-machine teaming. We partner with organizations to design, build, and scale AI-first products. Our team spans engineering, AI research, product, and design, and we run multiple concurrent technical and product hiring searches at any given time.

About The Role

We're hiring a Talent Sourcer on a contract basis to build and deliver qualified candidate pipelines across technical and product roles — AI/ML engineers, DevOps/platform engineers, QA engineers, product owners, and software engineers.

This is a pure sourcing role. You will not conduct candidate screening calls, interviews, offer negotiation, or any recruiting/closing activity — your scope is finding, engaging, and pipelining candidates,

This is a fully remote, offshore-only position engaged as a 1099 independent contractor — not an employee role, and not open to candidates based in the United States.

Run searches and build passive candidate pipelines using Juicebox as a primary sourcing tool
Build and refine boolean and X-Ray search strings across LinkedIn, GitHub, and other sourcing platforms

Own candidate data hygiene inside Ashby — accurate tagging, stage movement, and sourcing attribution
Deliver a defined weekly volume of qualified, pipeline-ready candidates per open role (target volu
