Job description

At the company, we are building products that push the boundaries of how people find, reason, and learn information. The scale and speed of our mission demand a team that thrives in environments of rapid iteration and constant discovery. As a Technical Sourcer, you will be at the forefront of shaping the talent foundation that fuels our growth.

The role of a Sourcer has changed in the world of recruiting and AI today–we’re looking for someone who has strong foundations in sourcing but is already ahead of the curve in redefining this function.

• Grit: You know your pipelines inside & out. You understand where you need to build momentum and how much horsepower to put behind it.

• Taste: You have a deep understanding of the tech landscape–knowing which companies hold high talent bars to what’s going to be the “next big thing” in the industry (before anyone else sees it coming).

• Experiment: Every role and search is different, and your approach isn’t a one-size-fits-all. One role you might be running SOBOs, another you’ll dive deep into authors of published papers from top conferences.

What You'll Do

• Research, identify, and engage engineering and technical talent across multiple disciplines and experience levels

• Use a wide range of sourcing strategies, including advanced research, talent mapping, referrals, AI-assisted automation, and creative outreach, to build strong candidate pipelines.

• Collaborate with recruiters and hiring teams to deeply understand technical requirements and calibrate profiles with accuracy and nuance

• Track and analyze pipeline data to drive continuous optimization and improvements in sourcing approaches

• Operate with agility, adapting quickly to shifting priorities, hard-to-fill roles, and changing team needs

What You Bring

• Exceptional technical literacy, comfortable navigating complex technical conversations, parsing nuanced skill sets, and understanding the architecture of software and AI roles

• Proven experience sourcing talent in highly dynamic and fast-paced environments where priorities shift and ambiguity is constant

• A builder's instinct for AI: eager to adopt new tools, automate your own workflow, and experiment with how AI can make sourcing faster and sharper

• Creativity and resilience: the ability to design novel sourcing strategies, test new methods, and adapt quickly when faced with challenges

• Excellent communication skills, with the ability to build trust and develop relationships with both candidates and internal partner teams

• A mindset that thrives on curiosity, iteration, and impact, aligned with the company AI's ethos of building what has never been built before
