Beacon acquires and grows essential businesses. With our centralized platform, we empower founders with the technology and expertise to better serve their customers. Backed by General Catalyst.
About the role
Beacon Software acquires and grows vertical market software companies across North America. We move fast, run lean, and hold our teams to a high bar. We're looking for a Technical Sourcer who thrives on the hunt — someone who can build deep, high-quality pipelines of engineering and product talent before a req even opens, and who brings both craft and creativity to outreach.
What they're looking for
- 2–5 years of experience in technical sourcing or recruiting, with a clear focus on engineering talent
- Hands-on proficiency with LinkedIn Recruiter, experience with AI sourcing tools, familiarity with GitHub, advanced Boolean search knowledge, and sourcing across communities and forums
- Comfort engaging technical candidates: you don't need to be an engineer, but you can hold a credible conversation pitching Beacon roles, get candidates excited, and have strong intuition for what “good to great” is
- Strong written communication, your outreach is specific, human, and doesn't read like a template
- Detail-oriented and self-directed, you manage your own pipeline hygiene, flag blockers early, and don't need hand-holding to stay organized
- Familiarity with ATS or sourcing platforms, a mix of Ashby, Greenhouse, Gem and JuiceBox preferred
More about this role
Beacon is building the essential technology infrastructure for the everyday economy: the businesses, organizations, and services that make real life work, and that mainstream tech has largely left behind. We acquire, operate, and grow vertical market software companies — niche, founder-built businesses serving industries that are often overlooked and too profitable to ignore.
Our model is simple: we seek out founders who have built their business by spending years understanding their market and prioritizing their customers' specific needs. We buy great businesses, invest in their continued growth, and hold them permanently — accelerating that growth with an AI-native platform built specifically for vertical market software. No mandate to cut, flip, or roll up into something unrecognizable.
We are not a financial firm. We are technology entrepreneurs and operators who believe the most important businesses in the world are already running quietly in industries most people never think about. Our job is to find them, support the people who built them, and make them better.
Beacon is backed by a diverse base of investors, with $550M+ raised to date, including General Catalyst,...
