About this role
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)…
