Technical Sourcer

About the role

You own top of funnel for our software engineering roles: backend, frontend, autonomy, forward deployed. You will be reading GitHub profiles, writing outreach that engineers answer, and building searches that keep producing after the obvious names are gone.

Inside your first year you move onto the aircraft side: propulsion, structures, avionics, manufacturing, production. Almost nobody sources both. The people who can are rare enough that it changes what your career looks like from that point forward. We will teach you, and you will be bad at it for a while, and then you will not be.

What we need from you

• 1+ years of sourcing or recruiting, most of it in software engineering
• A hire you are proud of, one nobody else was going to find, and the ability to walk us through exactly how you found them
• A high tolerance for silence, because most of your outreach will go unanswered and the job is making the next message better anyway
• Real curiosity about how aircraft get built, or at least the honesty to say you find it interesting and want in
• Writing that sounds like a person, since your entire work product is text a stranger decides to open or delete
• Clean data habits, because our reporting goes to the CEO and it needs to be right

What we do not need

• Ten years of experience
• A recruiting pedigree
• A degree in anything specific
• Permission from your current manager to be good at this

What you get here that you did not get there

• Your own reqs, early, with your name on the outcome
• Hiring managers in the same building, not behind an intake form
• The freedom to change the message when it is not working, without asking three people first
• Someone who runs sourcing searches themselves every day and will look at your search strings with you
• A skill set at the end of two years that maybe a few hundred people in the country have

The honest version

The pace is uncomfortable. You will be asked to fill roles you do not understand yet, and the answer will usually be to go learn them rather than to wait for a briefing. If you want a clear ladder and a quiet quarter, this is the wrong job. If you have been waiting for someone to hand you something real, this is the shot.
