Technical Sourcer
Our mission is to automate coding. The first step in our journey is to build the best tool for professional programmers, using a combination of inventive research, design, and engineering. Our organization is very flat, and our team is small and talent dense. We particularly like people who are truth-seeking, passionate, and creative. We enjoy spirited debate, crazy ideas, and shipping code.What you'll doOwn sourcing strategy for engineering and research roles across the stack, systems, ML, infrastructure, security, and beyondBuild and maintain deep talent maps of the best engineers in our key hiring areasFind people who aren't looking: identify passive candidates through technical communities, papers, open source contributions, and original researchWrite outreach that engineers actually respond to, specific, credible, and genuinely interestingPartner with hiring managers and recruiters to understand what we're actually looking for, then go find itTrack pipeline data to continuously sharpen sourcing precision over volumeHelp Cursor show up in the right places — technical communities, conferences, and conversations that matter to the people we want to hireWho you are3+ years of eng sourcing or research-focused recruiting experience for technical roles, ideally at a fast-moving startupYou can read a GitHub profile, skim a research paper, or parse an engineering blog and understand what makes someone exceptional, not just experiencedYou have strong intuitions about where great engineers live online and how to reach them in ways that feel humanYou're a precise operator: organized, data-literate, and good at using signal to cut noiseYou default to curiosity.
