About the roleWe're hiring a Technical Sourcer to fuel our most critical hiring needs across hardware, silicon, and AI engineering. You'll partner directly with recruiters and hiring managers to build pipelines of exceptional, hard-to-find technical talent - from design verification and RTL engineers to ML and systems software. This is a high-impact role for someone who loves the hunt: finding the people most teams can't, and getting them excited to talk to us.
What you'll do- Build and own top-of-funnel pipelines for technical roles, with a focus on niche hardware/silicon and AI/ML engineering profiles
- Develop creative, multi-channel sourcing strategies - LinkedIn Recruiter, GitHub, conferences, patents/publications, Boolean and X-ray search, referrals, and community networks
- Partner with recruiters and hiring managers to deeply understand role requirements and translate them into precise candidate profiles and search strategies
- Run compelling, personalized outreach that earns responses from passive senior talent and converts cold contacts into engaged candidates
- Conduct initial outreach calls to assess interest, motivation, and high-level fit before handoff to recruiters
- Maintain meticulous data hygiene in our ATS (Greenhouse) and report on pipeline health, conversion rates, and sourcing effectiveness
- Build talent maps of target companies and competitors to inform proactive hiring strategy
- Continuously experiment with new tools, channels, and messaging to improve response and conversion rates
What we're looking for- 2+ years of sourcing or full-cycle recruiting experience, with a track record of filling technical/engineering roles
- Demonstrated success sourcing passive candidates through advanced techniques (Boolean/X-ray, GitHub, LinkedIn Recruiter, etc.)
- Strong technical fluency - you can speak credibly to engineers and quickly learn new technical domains (bonus: familiarity with semiconductors, ASIC/SoC, design verification, or AI/ML)
- Excellent written communication; you write outreach that people actually want to reply to
- Highly organized and data-driven, comfortable managing many candidates and priorities at once
- Experience with Greenhouse (or a comparable ATS) and modern sourcing tooling
- Experience sourcing for hardware, silicon, or AI infrastructure companies
Full compensation packages are based on candidate experience and relevant certifications.
