Babita Chauhan — Recruiter
From teaching computer science to engineering students, to ensuring software quality at Eli Lilly, to now building the teams behind Amazon's most cutting-edge AI and Robotics innovations—my career has been anything but conventional. And that's exactly what makes me effective at what I do. As a Senior Technical Recruiter and Strategy Lead for Frontier AI & Robotics at Amazon, I don't just fill roles—I architect teams that are pushing the boundaries of what's possible in artificial intelligence and robotics. My unique journey through academia and engineering gives me a rare perspective: I understand both the technical depth required for these roles and the human element that makes great teams thrive. **The Impact** In 2023 alone, I delivered 50+ SDE 2 and 3 hires during one of the most challenging hiring environments, including specialized boomerang and international recruiting. Within my first year at Amazon, I earned a rare promotion to L6 Senior Technical Recruiter—a testament to the strategic approach I bring to talent acquisition. But the numbers tell only part of the story. As a Brand Ambassador for Diversity, I've driven the highest number of diverse SDE 2 and 3 hires in my organization. I've mentored over 50 recruiters in strategic tech sourcing, facilitated Amazon's Talent Acquisition Certification Training (TACT), and led cross-functional projects that are now integrated into company-wide best practices. **My Approach** I believe exceptional recruiting is about more than matching skills to job descriptions. It's about understanding career aspirations, recognizing potential, and creating opportunities that transform lives. Whether you're an engineer looking to work on frontier AI problems or a hiring manager building a world-class team, I bring strategic insight, deep technical understanding, and genuine partnership to every conversation. I specialize in AI/ML, Data, Compute/Platform Infrastructure, Technical Program Managers, and Technical Product Managers—with a particular focus on senior-level and hard-to-fill niche roles. **Let's Connect** Whether you're exploring your next career move in AI/ML or building a team that needs exceptional talent, I'd love to hear from you.
