Technical Sourcer

About the role

Your mission: build and qualify pipelines for our hardest technical searches, so that every priority role carries a healthy top-of-funnel of closable, calibrated candidates. You'll own top-of-funnel for engineering and science searches end to end — market mapping, channel development, outreach, and first qualification — working directly with the rest of the Talent team and with the hiring managers whose searches you carry.

Responsibilities

• Build and qualify pipelines for our hardest technical searches, ensuring every priority role has a healthy top-of-funnel of closable, calibrated candidates.
• Own top-of-funnel for engineering and science searches end to end, including market mapping, channel development, outreach, and first qualification.
• Work directly with the Talent team and hiring managers to carry out your searches.

Requirements

• 3+ years of technical sourcing on genuinely hard searches — niche engineering, research, or infrastructure profiles.
• Research craft beyond LinkedIn: GitHub, papers, patents, conference talks, communities.
• You find people who can't be found by filter.
• Outreach writing that demonstrably converts — you can show us the messages and the numbers.
• A data-driven practice: you optimize your own funnel by root cause and can walk us through a time you diagnosed and fixed one.
• You prioritize your own workload without supervision.
• An AI-native sourcing stack: you experiment with semantic search, enrichment, and automation tools, and you're constantly hunting for alpha.

Skills

• Curiosity and willfulness, in equal measure.

Benefits

• Calibrated conversations that make sourcing precise happen in the room.
• Searches with real degree-of-difficulty: CUDA/C++ research engineers, supercomputer SREs, data-platform builders.
• Work that makes you better, for stakes that matter — the company's growth plan runs through the searches you build.
• AI-native by design: We'll fund your tooling experiments — semantic search, enrichment, automation.
• The recruiter-as-creator era is here, and this team intends to be evidence of it.
• Define what great looks like: You're our first dedicated sourcer. The channels, pools, and playbooks you build become how Alembic sources — and a clear growth path opens as the function scales.
• Series B momentum, real ownership: Meaningful equity at a Series B company that's raised $145M, with proven product-market fit and Fortune 100 traction.
