TECHNICAL SOURCER

We’re building a high-caliber technical team in a competitive market. This role owns the top of the funnel—finding, engaging, and building relationships with exceptional engineers before they’re actively looking.

This is not a resume-pushing role. It’s about taste, curiosity, and persistence.

WHAT YOU’LL DO

  • Own outbound sourcing for technical roles (primarily software engineers)
  • Identify high-signal candidates via LinkedIn, GitHub, referrals, and communities
  • Write thoughtful, personalized outreach that actually gets replies
  • Partner closely with recruiters and hiring managers to define “great”
  • Experiment with sourcing strategies, messaging, and channels
  • Track and improve funnel metrics (reply rate, pass-through, time to first convo)
  • Build long-term candidate relationships, even when timing isn’t right

YOU MIGHT BE A GOOD FIT IF

  • You have 1–4+ years of technical sourcing experience (startup experience a plus)
  • You enjoy the puzzle of finding people others can’t
  • You care about quality over volume and hate spammy outreach
  • You’re comfortable with ambiguity and like building from scratch
  • You operate with urgency and take ownership
  • Bias to action

WHAT SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE

  • Consistent flow of high-quality technical candidates
  • Strong reply rates driven by thoughtful outreach
  • Hiring managers trust your judgment and taste

WHY JOIN

  • Real ownership and visibility
  • Opportunity to help define the sourcing playbook
  • Close partnership with recruiters and founders
  • High impact on a team scaling quickly
  • Exposure to the strongest Tech Startup Eco-System
