Technical Sourcer

About Us

Fieldguide is establishing a new state of trust for global commerce and capital markets through automating and streamlining the work of assurance and audit practitioners specifically within cybersecurity, privacy, and ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance). Put simply, we build software for the people who enable trust between businesses.

We’re based in San Francisco, CA, but built as a remote-first company that enables you to do your best work from anywhere. We're backed by top investors including Bessemer Venture Partners, 8VC, Floodgate, Y Combinator, DNX Ventures, Global Founders Capital, Justin Kan, Elad Gil, and more.

We value diversity — in backgrounds and in experiences. We need people from all backgrounds and walks of life to help build the future of audit and advisory. Fieldguide’s team is inclusive, driven, humble and supportive. We are deliberate and self-reflective about the kind of team and culture that we are building, seeking teammates that are not only strong in their own aptitudes but care deeply about supporting each other's growth.

As an early stage start-up employee, you’ll have the opportunity to build out the future of business trust. We make audit practitioners’ lives easier by eliminating up to 50% of their work and giving them better work-life balance. If you share our values and enthusiasm for building a great culture and product, you will find a home at Fieldguide.

About the Role

As a Technical Sourcer at Fieldguide, you’ll be a key driver of our ability to hire world-class technical talent. Reporting to the Manager of Recruiting, you’ll focus on building pipelines for core engineering roles and specialized AI/ML talent, while also tackling niche and hard-to-fill searches. This is a hands-on and strategic role: you’ll source and screen candidates while building the foundational sourcing strategies, tools, and processes that set a high bar for technical hiring at Fieldguide. You’ll partner closely with recruiters, hiring managers, and engineering leadership to identify, engage, and convert exceptional candidates who will help build the next generation of software that powers trust and efficiency for audit and advisory firms.

• Generate and maintain diverse, high-quality pipelines for both evergreen and niche technical roles.

• Craft personalized outreach that resonates with highly technical and often passive candidates.
