Technical Sourcer - Aerospace and Defense

Swarm Aero is redefining air power, building the largest swarming UAV and the most versatile swarming aircraft network in the world. The company is moving quickly to launch the first aircraft designed specifically for swarming, as well as the Command & Control software to mobilize swarms of thousands of heterogeneous autonomous assets and empower human operators to achieve superhuman results.
The team has created and exited multiple startups, negotiated defense deals worth billions of dollars, and designed and built 30+ novel aircraft, with aerospace experience from Scaled Composites, Airbus, Archer Aviation, Blue Origin, and Boom Supersonic.
They hit their numbers at a company that never let them talk to a hiring manager. We build autonomous aircraft and Legion, the software that flies hundreds of them as one coordinated swarm. Series A, backed by Khosla Ventures, and Coatue. We are hiring software engineers and aircraft engineers at the same time, which is hard, and how fast we hire is one of the few things standing between the current aircraft and the next one.
Recruiting is on the critical path here, and you will be able to see your work in the flight schedule.
You own top of funnel for our software engineering roles: backend, frontend, autonomy, forward deployed. You will be reading GitHub profiles, writing outreach that engineers answer, and building searches that keep producing after the obvious names are gone.
Inside your first year you move onto the aircraft side: propulsion, structures, avionics, manufacturing, production. Hiring managers in the same building, not behind an intake form
1+ years of sourcing or recruiting, most of it in software engineering

• A hire you are proud of, one nobody else was going to find, and the ability to walk us through exactly how you found them
• A high tolerance for silence, because most of your outreach will go unanswered and the job is making the next message better anyway
• Real curiosity about how aircraft get built, or at least the honesty to say you find it interesting and want in
• Writing that sounds like a person, since your entire work product is text a stranger decides to open or delete
• Clean data habits, because our reporting goes to the CEO and it needs to be right
