## About the role

Own top-of-funnel strategy and execution for technical reqs across engineering, infrastructure, data, AI/ML, and security. You build the pipeline, engage and qualify the candidate, and hand off a qualified, well-briefed person to the recruiter. Run deep talent research. Market maps, org mapping, competitor teardowns, conference and publication mining, open-source and technical community research, and advanced boolean and x-ray search across sources most people do not think to check. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

## What they're looking for

- 6+ years of technical sourcing/recruiting experience, including in-house sourcing at a high-growth technology company
- Demonstrated success in high-volume, high-urgency environments, carrying multiple technical searches at once without dropping the details
- Genuine fluency in technical skill sets. You can read a job spec, a GitHub profile, or a research paper and make a defensible call on relevance
- Proven track record sourcing for at least one hard-to-fill domain such as AI/ML, data science, data infrastructure, distributed systems, or security engineering. (Bonus if you’ve done it in a fintech space.)
- Exceptional written and verbal communication skills. Your outreach is short, specific, and human, and senior engineers reply to it
- Data discipline. You use funnel metrics to decide where to spend effort, and you can explain your pipeline with numbers rather than anecdotes
