I worked with a recruiter a few years ago, but decided against taking the position they were trying to fill. I think we parted on good terms. Now I see his company is looking to fill a different role, I think I would be perfect for. Is it okay for me to email him directly and inquire about that opening or did I burn that bridge?

100% reach out. I can’t speak for all recruiters but declining an offer won’t put you on my black list unless you did something aggressive. If it was a few years ago they have likely healed any wounds they were licking and don’t remember much of what happened.

Reach out if you parted on good terms. They would see it as positive sign that you are still interested. Since you already received offer, they know you are a good candidate and would want to interview you. Good luck
