Technical Sourcer

About you:

You’re a technical sourcer who thrives at the intersection of research, technology, and creativity. You love the challenge of finding talent that others can’t.

You are fluent in sourcing tools, AI workflows, and talent-mapping methodologies. You don’t wait for candidates to show up—you build intelligence around where they are, how they work, what motivates them, and how to reach them. You uncover patterns, markets, competitors, and pockets of hidden talent, and you convert this intelligence into strategic insights for the entire recruiting function.

If you’re excited to join a fast-moving aerospace team and help build the pipelines that unlock the future of autonomous flight, this role is for you.


Responsibilities
  • Own top-of-funnel generation for highly specialized and niche technical roles
  • Develop and maintain deep talent maps
  • Design multi-channel sourcing strategies that reach passive talent via personalized outreach, creative sequencing, community engagement, and long-term relationship building.
  • Partner tightly with recruiters and hiring managers to clarify role requirements, identify target profiles, and continuously refine search strategies.
  • Build and maintain pipelines of future talent, not just current req candidates—anticipating the needs of Merlin’s rapid growth.
  • Craft compelling outreach that resonates with engineers, operators, and innovators—highlighting mission, impact, and technical challenge.
  • Ensure exceptional candidate experience through thoughtful communication and seamless handoff to recruiting partners.
  • Champion sourcing innovation—bringing new tools, tactics, and insights to elevate how Merlin finds and engages world-class talent.


Qualifications:
  • 4+ years of technical sourcing experience at a high-growth tech-focused company.
  • Demonstrated ability to source for extremely niche and competitive technical talent pools.
  • Ability to read and interpret complex technical resumes
  • Experience building detailed talent maps and presenting market insights to stakeholders.
  • Highly skilled in personalized outreach, relationship-building, and candidate engagement.
  • Strong communication skills, written and verbal, with the ability to influence and educate hiring teams.
  • Comfortable working in a fast-paced, rapidly evolving environment with shifting priorities and high standards.
