Amini is building the sovereign, AI-native distributed infrastructure stack for the Global South, giving governments and enterprises the data, compute, and connectivity they need to own and govern their digital future, rather than depend on outside platforms. We already work with governments including Barbados, and our work has been recognised by TIME100 AI, MIT Solve, and the World Economic Forum. We help our partners and customers put AI to work in ways that drive real growth, and make sure that opportunity is shared more equally across the Global South.
Our core values, Collaboration, Trust, Integrity, Humility, and Passion, are at the heart of everything we do. In practice, that means defaulting to sharing credit and information openly, being honest about what we don't yet know, and choosing to admit a mistake early rather than protect an ego.
Our team is small, highly skilled, and non-hierarchical. We recognise the transformational nature of our work, but we stay humble and ego-free about it. We believe in fully using our skills and experience, sharing ideas openly, and making a collective impact, one we intend to grow from the governments and communities we already work with today into a much broader influence on the AI industry and lives across the Global South.
We are entering a critical scaling phase, moving from project-based delivery to a repeatable platform deployed across multiple jurisdictions simultaneously. That scaling depends on hiring well, continuously, and across almost every function: Engineering, Product, Machine Learning, Operations, Commercial, Customer Operations & Success, and Sales/Business Development.
This (initial) 6 month role includes managing the hiring process end to end, but process management alone isn't what we're hiring for. The fundamental skill we need is search: someone who actively maps talent markets, builds and maintains a real candidate network, and proactively sources high-quality talent using a range of methods and channels, rather than someone who mainly manages a pipeline of inbound applicants. You will manage end-to-end hiring for roles across the business, partnering closely with stakeholders to attract and close top talent.
As Amini expands into new countries, you will also need to navigate country-specific employment law and hiring practices, ensuring we hire compliantly wherever we operate, while still delivering an excellent, well-paced candidate experience.
Amini is a remote-first company, which means roles can sit in almost any geography rather than being tied to a single hub. You should be comfortable recruiting across multiple regions at once, ideally with experience hiring in the Caribbean, Europe, Africa, and North and South America.
You'll need to build real market maps, knowing, for example, that much of the Caribbean's tech-adjacent commercial talent sits inside a small number of regional telecom and global tech companies, and use that intelligence to source proactively rather than waiting for applications to come to you.
Responsibilities
Market Mapping & Proactive Sourcing
- Build and continuously maintain candidate market maps across Engineering, Product, Machine Learning, Operations, Commercial, Customer Success, and Sales/Business Development
- Proactively source high-quality talent using a range of methods and channels, including direct outreach, LinkedIn, referrals, and niche communities, rather than relying on inbound applications
- Maintain and nurture a live candidate network ahead of need, so searches move quickly once a role is greenlit
- Apply this same proactive search approach across all levels, from senior leadership hires to core technical and operational roles
Full-Cycle Recruitment
- Manage full-cycle recruitment for roles across the business, across levels and locations
- Screen, interview, and assess candidates for both technical/functional fit and cultural fit
- Coordinate interviews, manage feedback loops, and drive offer negotiations through to close
Stakeholder Partnership
- Partner with hiring managers across functions to understand requirements in depth and provide genuine market insight, not just take a job spec at face value
- Advise leadership on realistic seniority, compensation, and location trade-offs for each role, based on current market intelligence
- Maintain clear, proactive communication with stakeholders and candidates throughout the process
Compliance & Recruitment Operations
- Ensure compliance with country-specific employment legislation and hiring practices as Amini expands into new markets
- Manage recruitment operations end to end, including candidate tracking, onboarding, compliance checks, and ATS management
- Apply sound judgement on contractor and contingent hiring arrangements, including relevant local frameworks (e.g., IR35-style regimes), where applicable
Continuous Improvement & Employer Brand
- Continuously improve sourcing and recruiting strategies, and promote best practice, including diverse and inclusive hiring
- Help build employer brand and sourcing channels as Amini expands into new regions
- Represent Amini's mission and scaling story compellingly to passive candidates, including diaspora talent considering a return to the region
What You Will Have: Essential
- 4-5+ years of recruiting experience, in-house strongly preferred, with a track record as a proactive search specialist rather than a process administrator
- Experience recruiting across a broad range of functions: engineering, product, data/ML, operations, commercial, customer success, and sales
- Strong, demonstrable candidate sourcing and pipeline-building skills, including confident use of recruiting and sourcing tools
- Excellent stakeholder management and communication skills, both written and verbal
- Comfortable managing multiple concurrent searches in a fast-paced, resource-constrained environment
- Back-office fluency: candidate tracking, onboarding, compliance checks, and ATS management
- Working knowledge of employment law and compliance considerations across multiple jurisdictions, including contractor/contingent worker classification
- Proven experience of global hiring: sourcing and closing candidates across multiple countries and time zones, not just a single domestic market
- Experience recruiting across multiple international geographies for a remote-first or distributed organisation, ideally including the Caribbean, Europe, Africa, and North and South America
What You Will Have: Highly Desirable
- Experience recruiting in Caribbean or African markets
- Familiarity with technology domains relevant to Amini, such as sovereign cloud, infrastructure, connectivity, or AI/ML
- Experience with contractor compliance regimes (e.g., IR35) where hiring includes contract or contingent talent
- Experience recruiting for early-stage or scale-up companies going through rapid, multi-country expansion
- Experience structuring flexible arrangements (e.g., advisory-to-full-time, fractional-to-permanent) for senior hires
