About the role:

The Senior Technical Sourcer develops sourcing strategies and talent pipelines for complex and specialized technology roles, with an emphasis on senior technical talent with experience building new products, platforms, and systems. This role partners with recruiters and advises engineering leaders using talent-market insights and sourcing data to improve hiring decisions and search outcomes.

• Identify and engage passive technical talent with relevant experience building new products, platforms, and scalable systems in greenfield, modernization, or high-growth environments to meet Lyric’s specialized engineering hiring needs.

Technical Talent Assessment

• Partner with recruiters and engineering leaders to translate complex technical requirements into clear candidate profiles, target markets, sourcing strategies, and outreach approaches that improve search focus and candidate quality.

• 5+ years of professional sourcing or recruiting experience, including 3+ years focused on software engineering or technical talent.
• 5+ years sourcing senior, staff, principal, architect, engineering leadership, or similarly specialized technical talent.

• Experience directly advising and presenting talent-market or pipeline information to senior engineering leaders, including VP- or C-suite-level stakeholders.

• Advanced experience with technical sourcing methods, including Boolean search, talent mapping, competitive research, database mining, talent intelligence platforms, or technical-community research.
• Demonstrated ability to evaluate technical profiles for individual contribution, scope, technical depth, and relevant product or platform-building experience.
• Demonstrated ability to independently manage complex sourcing work, use market and pipeline data to make recommendations, and influence stakeholders in ambiguous or evolving hiring environments.

Preferred Requirements:

• Experience sourcing technical talent that has built enterprise-scale platforms, cloud-native products, or technology in zero-to-one environments.
• Experience supporting executive-level engineering searches or other highly visible technical hiring initiatives.
• Experience in a high-growth healthcare technology, SaaS, AI, or private equity-backed organization.
• Experience using Workday Recruiting, HireEZ, or similar talent intelligence and sourcing platforms.
