Senior Technical Sourcer
Plaid
Remote · United States$12,700–15,833 gross/mofull-timePlaid Careers
We are hiring a Senior Technical Sourcer to build the pipelines behind Plaid's most difficult technical searches. You will own the top of the funnel across software engineering, infrastructure, data science, AI/ML, and security, from market research and pipeline strategy to qualified candidates entering the interview process.
Responsibilities
- Own top-of-funnel strategy and execution for technical reqs across engineering, infrastructure, data, AI/ML, and security. You build the pipeline, engage and qualify the candidate, and hand off a qualified, well-briefed person to the recruiter.
- Run deep talent research. Market maps, org mapping, competitor teardowns, conference and publication mining, open-source and technical community research, and advanced boolean and x-ray search across sources most people do not think to check.
- Find niche and emerging technical talent where the qualified pool is small and almost entirely passive, including AI/ML, applied research, distributed systems, and security engineering.
- Write outreach that gets answered. You personalize based on what someone has actually built, you test your messaging, and you own your response rate as a number you can explain.
- Operate at volume without losing precision. You run multiple searches at once with disciplined follow-up cadences, accurate ATS hygiene, and clean data that others can trust.
- Turn research into intelligence.
- Build market maps, talent density views, and competitive hiring insights, then bring them to recruiters and hiring managers to shape role scope, leveling, and search strategy.
- Build diverse pipelines by design, through the breadth of your research and the inclusivity of your outreach, not as a screening step at the end.
- Partner closely with recruiters and hiring managers on calibration. You bring the market back into the room when a role as written is not findable, and you propose what would make it winnable.
- Track and report your funnel. Response rate, screen pass rate, and stage conversion tell you where to spend your next hour. Use them, and share what they say.
