Principal Technical Sourcer

Join to apply for the Principal Technical Sourcer role at Latent .

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.

What you’ll do

• 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

You might be a good fit if

• 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
• Bias to action

What success looks like

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

Why join

• Real ownership and visibility
• Opportunity to help define the sourcing playbook
• Close partnership with recruiters and founders
• High impact on a team scaling quickly
• Exposure to the strongest Tech Startup Eco‑System
