Technical Sourcer

What the team is looking for.
As a Technical Sourcer, you will be the primary architect of the talent pipeline that builds the future of our Product and Engineering teams. At Replit, we don't look for average engineers; we look for "10x" builders, creators. Your mission is to find the needles in the haystack; engineers who are deeply technical, product-minded, and excited by the challenge of democratizing coding.
Key Responsibilities:
- Strategic Pipeline Building: Identify and engage top-tier talent for Software Engineering (Product, Infra, AI/ML), Product Management, and Design.
- AI Forward: Manage a tech stack of sourcing tools and agents to power the top of the funnel.
- Creative Outreach: Be AI tool driven. Move beyond standard LinkedIn templates. You will craft highly personalized, technical, and compelling outreach that resonates with the Replit ethos.
- Deep Research: Map out talent across GitHub, Twitter (X), competitive startups, and niche developer communities to find "undiscovered" talent.
- Full Lifecycle Partnership: Work closely with Recruiters and Engineering Leads to calibrate profiles and refine the search strategy in real-time.
- Data-Driven Iteration: Track conversion rates and leverage data to pivot sourcing strategies when a search becomes "stale."
Who You Are:
- Experience: 4+ years of technical sourcing experience, preferably at a high-growth startup or a top-tier tech firm.
- Technical Fluency: You understand the tech stack in depth, can navigate a GitHub profile, and know why someone would fit our EPD team, company and values.
- Persistence: You have a "hunter" mentality. You enjoy the challenge of finding the right person for a highly specific, difficult role.
- Culture Add: You are self-directed, comfortable with ambiguity, and can move as fast as our engineering team does.
Preferred Tools:
- ATS: Ashby (preferred) or Greenhouse.
- Sourcing: Juicebox, LinkedIn Recruiter, Gem, GitHub, and Twitter.
