About the role

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 they'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

  • Conduct initial outreach calls to assess interest, motivation, and high-level fit before handoff to recruiters
  • Maintain meticulous data...
