## About the role

Build and run sourcing strategies for technical roles across robotics, infrastructure, and product engineering, including niche and hard-to-fill positions.

## What they're looking for

- A track record of successfully engaging and closing passive, senior technical candidates in competitive markets
- Genuine curiosity about the technical work itself — comfortable learning enough about robotics, ML, and infrastructure to speak credibly with engineers and identify strong-fit candidates
- Excellent written communication, you can craft outreach that gets a reply from someone who gets a dozen recruiter messages a week
- High ownership and self-direction — comfortable building process from scratch rather than working within an established playbook
- Strong organizational instincts for managing pipelines, data, and follow-up across multiple concurrent searches
