About the Role

We're seeking a strategic Technical Sourcers who can map, find, and engage the top 0.01% of technical candidates in the world - before anyone else knows they exist. You'll own the sourcing function at Fluidstack: building proactive pipelines across engineering and technical domains, producing market intelligence that informs hiring strategy, and driving outreach that converts the best passive talent into interested candidates.

This is not a reactive role. You won't be backfilling open reqs from inbound. You'll be running ahead of the business - mapping talent landscapes, identifying future needs, and ensuring Fluidstack always has a pipeline of exceptional people ready to engage when roles open.

What You'll Do

• Conduct mappings: Map talent pools, competitive landscapes, and emerging technical communities to deliver actionable intelligence on where exceptional candidates are, what they care about, and how to reach them.
• Build pipeline strategies: Partner with TA Partners and/or independently build and execute on sourcing strategies to build up pipelines for multiple completing positions.
• Operate as a data-driven function: Track pipeline metrics, outreach conversion rates, source effectiveness, and market trends. Use data to continuously refine sourcing strategies and report pipeline health to recruiters and leadership.
• Build sourcing infrastructure: Design and document sourcing playbooks, channel strategies, and talent maps that scale with the company and create institutional knowledge across the team.
• Partner closely with recruiting and hiring managers: Collaborate to understand evolving hiring needs, align on ideal candidate profiles, and hand off warm, well-qualified pipelines that accelerate time-to-hire.

Focus/What We Value

• Sourcing as a craft: You don't post and pray. You hunt with a systematic and organized approach - through technical communities, research networks, and channels no one else is using. Finding people others can't is your competitive edge.
• Strategic and proactive mindset: You think in pipelines and talent maps, not individual reqs. You're always running ahead of the business, not catching up to it.
• Data fluency: You measure everything - outreach rates, pipeline conversion, source quality - and use that data to make sharper decisions, not just report activity.
• Technical credibility: You understand the difference between a strong resume and genuine technical excellence. You can speak credibly with engineers and assess profiles with nuance.
• Speed without shortcuts: You move fast, but you don't sacrifice quality. You build high-signal pipelines quickly and keep them warm.
• Builder mentality: You create structure where none exists, document what you learn, and leave the function better than you found it.

Must Haves

• 2+ years of sourcing experience, with a proven track record of building proactive pipelines and landing exceptional candidates - be ready to talk specifics.
• Demonstrated ability to conduct talent and market mapping, including reports and pipeline analyses that inform hiring strategy.
• Deep channel expertise: GitHub, arXiv, technical conferences, Discord/Slack communities, academic networks, and alternative sourcing techniques beyond standard tools.
• Strong data orientation - you track sourcing metrics, measure what works, and adjust strategy based on evidence.
• Experience working in high-growth tech companies or startups, preferably in datacenter/cloud/infrastructure, AI/ML.
• Ability to manage multiple concurrent pipelines across roles, functions, and time zones with strong prioritization instincts.
• Clear and concise communication. You are able to synthesize chaotic market trends into relevant highlights for the business.
