[Hiring] Principal Technical Sourcer @Latent

Role Description

We’re building a high-caliber technical team in a competitive market. This role owns the top of the funnel—finding, engaging, and building relationships with exceptional engineers before they’re actively looking. This is not a resume-pushing role. It’s about taste, curiosity, and persistence.

• Own outbound sourcing for technical roles (primarily software engineers)
• Identify high-signal candidates via LinkedIn, GitHub, referrals, and communities
• Write thoughtful, personalized outreach that actually gets replies
• Partner closely with recruiters and hiring managers to define “great”
• Experiment with sourcing strategies, messaging, and channels
• Track and improve funnel metrics (reply rate, pass-through, time to first convo)
• Build long-term candidate relationships, even when timing isn’t right

Qualifications

• You have 1–4+ years of technical sourcing experience (startup experience a plus)
• You enjoy the puzzle of finding people others can’t
• You care about quality over volume and hate spammy outreach
• You’re comfortable with ambiguity and like building from scratch
• You operate with urgency and take ownership

Requirements

• Bias to action
• Consistent flow of high-quality technical candidates
• Strong reply rates driven by thoughtful outreach
• Hiring managers trust your judgment and taste

Nice to Have

• Interest in healthcare, pharmacy, or health technology
• Uses AI tools in your workflow and is always looking for ways to move faster with them

Benefits

• Competitive compensation, including meaningful equity
• Medical, dental, and vision insurance for employee and dependents
• Flexible PTO policy
• Paid parental leave
• Fertility and family-building stipend through Carrot
