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
