Job description

We're hiring a Technical Sourcer to fuel our most critical hiring needs across hardware, silicon, and AI engineering. You'll partner directly with recruiters and hiring managers to build pipelines of exceptional, hard-to-find technical talent — from design verification and RTL engineers to ML and systems software. This is a high-impact role for someone who loves the hunt: finding the people most teams can't, and getting them excited to talk to us.

What you'll do

• Build and own top-of-funnel pipelines for technical roles, with a focus on niche hardware/silicon and AI/ML engineering profiles
• Develop creative, multi-channel sourcing strategies — LinkedIn Recruiter, GitHub, conferences, patents/publications, Boolean and X-ray search, referrals, and community networks
• Partner with recruiters and hiring managers to deeply understand role requirements and translate them into precise candidate profiles and search strategies
• Run compelling, personalized outreach that earns responses from passive senior talent and converts cold contacts into engaged candidates
• Conduct initial outreach calls to assess interest, motivation, and high-level fit before handoff to recruiters
• Maintain meticulous data hygiene in our ATS (Greenhouse) and report on pipeline health, conversion rates, and sourcing effectiveness
• Build talent maps of target companies and competitors to inform proactive hiring strategy
• Continuously experiment with new tools, channels, and messaging to improve response and conversion rates

What we're looking for

• 2+ years of sourcing or full-cycle recruiting experience, with a track record of filling technical/engineering roles
• Demonstrated success sourcing passive candidates through advanced techniques (Boolean/X-ray, GitHub, LinkedIn Recruiter, etc.)
• Strong technical fluency — you can speak credibly to engineers and quickly learn new technical domains (bonus: familiarity with semiconductors, ASIC/SoC, design verification, or AI/ML)
• Excellent written communication; you write outreach that people actually want to reply to
• Highly organized and data-driven, comfortable managing many candidates and priorities at once
• Experience with Greenhouse (or a comparable ATS) and modern sourcing tooling
• Experience sourcing for hardware, silicon, or AI infrastructure companies

Full compensation packages are based on candidate experience and relevant certifications.

$120,000 - $160,000 USD

Compensation

Final offers depend on level, location, and skills relevant to the role. Additional compensation: equity grant per company guidelines; medical / dental / vision; 401(k); standard PTO.

DensityAI sponsors qualified candidates for H-1B, O-1, TN, E-3, and other employment-based visas, and we welcome applicants on F-1 OPT and STEM-OPT. Work authorization is required at start; we provide immigration support to secure or transfer status.

If offered this position, what is the earliest date you would be available to start? *

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.
