Senior Technical Recruiter, Annapurna Labs

Description

Annapurna Labs is looking for a Senior Recruiting Business Partner to lead silicon hiring for Amazon's custom chip teams. You will own full-cycle recruiting for highly specialized silicon and hardware engineering roles across our Israel sites - ASIC/RTL design, verification, physical design, DFT, design infrastructure and methodologies, analog/mixed-signal, and silicon operations - partnering as a strategic talent advisor to hiring managers to find, engage, and close rare, in-demand engineers in a fiercely competitive market.

At Amazon, we're working to be the most customer-centric company on earth. To get there, we need exceptionally talented, bright, and motivated people. As a Recruiting Business Partner (RBP) for Annapurna Labs in Israel, you will be the main talent advisor to engineering leaders.

You will work closely with Sourcing Recruiters and Recruiting Coordinators to deliver hiring goals against tight deadlines.

Annapurna Labs is Amazon's custom silicon organization, with a significant engineering footprint in Israel. Engineers here define the next generation of custom processors, accelerators, and systems that power AWS at global scale - from Graviton CPUs serving over 130,000 unique customers, to the Nitro System that provides the security, networking, and storage foundation for every EC2 instance, to Trainium AI accelerators training the world's most advanced models.

In this role, you will build and run hiring strategies for hard-to-fill technical roles in the silicon/hardware domain. You will use data and market insights to advise leaders on headcount plans, talent availability, and pay trends. You will run a high-quality interview process that keeps the hiring bar high, and you will make and negotiate offers in a competitive Israeli tech market. You will also look for ways to improve hiring and share best practices with the wider Talent Acquisition team.
