Senior Technical Sourcer

Key Responsibilities

• Own top-of-funnel strategy and execution for technical reqs across engineering, infrastructure, data, AI/ML, and security. You build the pipeline, engage and qualify the candidate, and hand off a qualified, well-briefed person to the recruiter.
• Run deep talent research. Market maps, org mapping, competitor teardowns, conference and publication mining, open-source and technical community research, and advanced boolean and x-ray search across sources most people do not think to check.
• Find niche and emerging technical talent where the qualified pool is small and almost entirely passive, including AI/ML, applied research, distributed systems, and security engineering.
• Write outreach that gets answered. You personalize based on what someone has actually built, you test your messaging, and you own your response rate as a number you can explain.
• Operate at volume without losing precision. You run multiple searches at once with disciplined follow-up cadences, accurate ATS hygiene, and clean data that others can trust.

Key Requirements

• 6+ years of technical sourcing/recruiting experience, including in-house sourcing at a high-growth technology company.
• Mastery of sourcing research technique and tooling: boolean and x-ray search, LinkedIn Recruiter, GitHub and technical communities, publications and conference sources, and CRM or ATS sourcing workflows. You can find people who are not searchable by just title or company name.
• Demonstrated success in high-volume, high-urgency environments, carrying multiple technical searches at once without dropping the details.
• Genuine fluency in technical skill sets. You can read a job spec, a GitHub profile, or a research paper and make a defensible call on relevance.
• Proven track record sourcing for at least one hard-to-fill domain such as AI/ML, data science, data infrastructure, distributed systems, or security engineering. (Bonus if you’ve done it in a fintech space.)
