About Nudge

At Nudge, our mission is to develop the best technology for interfacing with the brain to improve people's lives. We're starting with an approach that we believe can help the most people the fastest, and also allow us to learn as much about the brain as possible: developing a non-invasive, ultrasound-based device that can stimulate and image the brain at high resolution and depth. This is a vertically integrated effort building cutting-edge hardware, software, and research capabilities to create products that can benefit millions — and eventually billions — of people.

To succeed, we need to assemble world-class teams across everything we do. We hire people who are exceptional at their craft, believe hard things are worth doing, and execute relentlessly — people who expect the highest levels of both rigor and integrity from each other.

About the role

As a technical sourcer at Nudge, you will:

  • Source for highly technical roles across the company, primarily engineers and scientists

  • Partner closely with recruiters and hiring managers to understand role requirements, trade offs, and hiring priorities

  • Translate ambiguous or evolving role definitions into clear sourcing strategies

  • Identify, research, and engage candidates through thoughtful, personalized outreach
    Go deep on profiles and technical signal to distinguish real expertise from surface-level experience

  • Share market insights and candidate feedback to help refine role definition and hiring strategy

  • Continuously improve sourcing approaches, tools, and workflows as the company grows

About you

We are looking for technical sourcers with at least 3 years of industry experience. Regardless of career level, you should have:

  • Experience sourcing highly technical roles, primarily engineering

  • Strong technical aptitude and the ability to quickly understand complex systems, technologies, and skill sets

  • Excellent pattern recognition and judgment when evaluating candidate signal and identifying exceptional talent

  • Demonstrated ability to source for highly niche or ambiguous roles where the talent pool is limited

  • Strong search strategy skills across multiple channels (LinkedIn, GitHub, research papers, conferences, etc.)

  • Ability to engage and build relationships with highly technical candidates through thoughtful outreach

  • A high level of organization and the ability to own sourcing efforts end-to-end with minimal oversight

  • The ability to operate effectively in fast-moving, evolving environments

  • High integrity and strong professional judgment
