About this role

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
