Quick Overview
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
