Job description

Meet Arago and the Aragonians

Arago's mission is to re-engineer the foundations of computing from first principles.

The explosive growth of AI is pushing the industry to rethink how processors are built. Arago is meeting that challenge with a proprietary technology that fuses optical and CMOS technologies to deliver an order-of-magnitude increase in performance.

Arago is the fastest, and currently the only, company to have built such a processor. It's backed by leading deep-tech investors and some of the most respected figures in semiconductors and computing, including the CEO of Arm, the founder of macOS who worked directly with Steve Jobs at Apple, an Nvidia Fellow, the Head of Optics at Google, and many other industry leaders.

Our work is guided by three clear values: do great things, move with high velocity, and operate as one unit. We work in a demanding environment where constant learning, ownership, and execution are expected, and where exceptional people have the opportunity to do their life’s work.

What you'll do

As Technical Sourcer at Arago, you will own the search for some of the most sought-after engineers in the world. We build hardware that has never existed before, and finding the people who can build it requires going far beyond standard recruiting channels.

You will own the full sourcing motion: mapping talent pools, building precise searches, crafting outreach that resonates with passive candidates, and building long-term relationships with high-priority profiles. Working directly with hiring managers and founders, you will develop a deep understanding of each role and the technical landscape around it, then go find the right people, wherever they are.

Responsibilities

• Build highly targeted searches for Arago's most critical roles, ASIC architects, packaging engineers, mixed-signal verification, SW systems leads

• Craft outreach that engages passive candidates and builds long-term relationships with high-priority targets

• Develop creative sourcing strategies: GitHub, research communities, referral networks, X-Ray etc.

• Partner closely with hiring managers to build customized sourcing strategies

• Own candidate tracking, pipeline metrics, and funnel data with a structured approach

• Language: English at a proficient level.

We're Looking For

• Proven sourcing experience in deep tech, semiconductors, or AI hardware, not just software

• X-Ray search skills and comfort sourcing across GitHub, LinkedIn, and non-traditional channels

• Demonstrated success sourcing passive senior technical talent

• Ability to run multiple complex searches in parallel without dropping quality

• Genuine curiosity about the technology, you need to understand what you're sourcing for

• A long-game mindset: relationship building over transactional outreach

Nice to Have

• Sourcing experience in technical domains

• Proven track record of filling hard-to-find roles

• Experience writing outreach that actually gets replies

• Comfortable working in a fast-paced startup environment with multiple open roles simultaneously

Pay and benefits

• Competitive cash compensation, with final package based on location, experience, and the pay of team members in similar positions.

• Meaningful stock option plan offered (included in the majority of full time offers).

• Healthcare coverage (including family-friendly options), pension contributions, professional development support, and 25 days of PTO, in addition to public holidays.

• Ownership of a key technical domain, with significant vertical and/or horizontal growth opportunities, based on performance and individual drive.

We look forward to hearing how you can help shape the future of AI at Arago.
