Principal Technical Sourcer

About the role

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.

• Track and improve funnel metrics (reply rate, pass-through, time to first convo)
• Build long-term candidate relationships, even when timing isn’t right

Requirements

• 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
