This is a remote role that can be located in a US central or east coast time zone.

As a Technical Sourcer, you will be a strategic sourcing partner to global Engineering hiring managers and Technical Recruiters, responsible for building and executing sourcing strategies for senior and staff+ software engineering and infrastructure roles. You'll own market mapping, competitive intelligence, and outreach for a portfolio of some of our most critical and hardest-to-fill technical reqs.

This is a high-impact role for someone who thrives with a high degree of autonomy, has deep fluency in technical talent markets, and can build trusted partnerships with engineering leaders.

  • Drive outreach and initial candidate engagement for a portfolio of concurrent, hard-to-fill technical reqs.
  • Consult with hiring managers on role scoping, leveling, and sourcing strategy.
  • Present sourcing strategy and market insights to cross-functional recruiting and engineering partners.
  • Calibrate candidate profiles with recruiters and hiring managers using funnel data - submittals, conversion, and time-to-fill.
  • Deliver an exceptional, high-touch candidate experience from first outreach through handoff to the interview process.
  • Contribute to sourcing process improvements, tooling, and market-intel sharing across the Technical Sourcing team.
We're excited about you because...
  • You have 3+ years of technical sourcing/recruiting experience, ideally sourcing for senior/staff+ software engineering or infrastructure roles.
  • You have expert-level boolean/x-ray search skills, and fluency with sourcing tools (LinkedIn Recruiter, Gem, GitHub, etc.), plus strong market-mapping and competitive-intelligence ability.
  • You have a proven track record of consulting with hiring managers on role scoping, leveling, and sourcing strategy.
  • You have excellent written outreach and candidate engagement skills, with a track record of delivering a great candidate experience.
  • You are self-motivated and intellectually curious, and comfortable owning a portfolio of concurrent reqs with a high degree of autonomy.
