About the Role
We are looking for a forward-thinking Founding Technical Sourcer to build and scale our sourcing function from 0 to 1. As the first in this seat, you won't just execute outreach; you will architect the entire sourcing strategy, set up our AI infrastructure, define key success metrics, and build the blueprint for how we attract top industry talent.
Key Responsibilities
0-to-1 Strategy & Architecture: Define the vision, OKRs, and operational model for a sourcing function, implementing and optimizing the tech stack to drive scalable candidate generation.

Talent Branding & Event Strategy: Design and execute targeted tech events, meetups, and develop campaigns to position our team as an employer of choice and generate sustained passive inbound pipeline.
Domain Mastery: Lead technical intake sessions with engineering leaders, utilizing a high slope of learning to master complex tech stacks, niche roles, and shifting priorities on the fly. You’ll operate your own funnel and generate leverage for others on the team.
Candidate Engagement: Craft hyper-personalized outreach strategies across various platforms, optimizing conversion metrics at every stage of the funnel.
Qualifications
5+ Years of Technical Sourcing Experience in High Growth Environments: You’ve seen and impacted growth at Series D+ startups or hyper-scale companies with quantifiable talent bars.
0-to-1 Sourcing Experience: Demonstrated success building sourcing strategies from scratch or acting as a lead sourcer defining strategy and metrics for a growing function.
AI & Technical Fluency: Hands-on experience implementing AI-powered sourcing tools, custom automation tools, and generative AI messaging systems.
Learning Velocity: High capacity to rapidly digest complex technical concepts, tools, and developer domains during hiring manager intakes.
Brand & Event Execution: Proven track record of leveraging community events, technical branding, and content to build passive inbound talent pipelines.
Data & Process Ownership: Strong analytical baseline to measure funnel conversions, iterate on outreach experiments, and report directly on strategy outcomes to leadership.
