Technical Sourcer | Redwood City, CA (Hybrid, 3days Onsite-AF-TECH)

Company Description

Employer.com is partnering with a well-funded frontier AI company who is building the next generation of multimodal intelligence, with applications spanning video generation, simulation, design, and robotics. Their technology is used by studios, enterprise brands, and developers worldwide, and they are backed by top-tier investors. They are moving fast and the team reflects that.

Job Description

This is a $4B frontier AI company with a lean, high-caliber engineering organization where every hire is visible and every pipeline decision matters. The engineering teams being built here span product, infrastructure, reliability, and security, and the sourcing function is a direct contributor to that build. A strong sourcer here owns meaningful outcomes and works with direct access to recruiting leadership.

We are looking for a contract technical sourcer with a track record of building quality pipeline for Staff-level and above software engineers across core engineering disciplines.

What You'll Be Doing

You'll own top-of-funnel sourcing for core engineering roles. That means identifying, engaging, and qualifying passive senior engineering talent across product software engineering, infrastructure, inference, SRE, security, and data infrastructure. You'll work directly with the hiring manager, develop outreach strategies tailored to each role, qualify candidates against a high bar, and maintain clean pipeline data throughout.

Specifically: build targeted candidate lists, develop and execute personalized outreach sequences, screen for technical signal and role fit, prepare candidate summaries for hiring manager review, and iterate on sourcing strategy as priorities shift.

Qualifications

What We're Looking For

• 3+ years of technical sourcing experience with demonstrated success at the Staff level and above
• Sourcing network built across frontier AI, defense tech, developer tools, or enterprise infrastructure companies; someone who brings a distinct perspective and untapped pipeline to the search
• Experience operating in a high-hiring-bar environment where signal matters more than volume
• Proven ability to engage passive senior engineering talent through personalized, targeted outreach
• Familiarity with core engineering disciplines: product software engineering, infrastructure, SRE, security, and data infrastructure
• Startup or high-growth company experience required; comfortable with ambiguity and shifting priorities
• Bay Area local preferred for in-office engagement and presence 3 days/week MWF in office; very strong remote candidates considered for contract role but won't be in consideration for conversion.
• Available to start within 1-2 weeks

Engagement

Contract, W-2 through Employer.com | Flawless Talent. Duration Estimated to be 6 months based on hiring velocity; strong performers may be considered for conversion.
