Job 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
