Description
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
