## About the 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)

- 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
