Senior Technical Sourcer

About the Role

GC AI is hiring its founding technical sourcer to build our sourcing program from zero. You’ll partner directly with our CTO to find and engage best-in-class talent across Applied AI, product engineering, forward deployed engineering, design and product: the people who build the platform in-house legal teams rely on every day. You’ll own sourcing strategy across engineering, product, and design. You’ll also build the talent maps, sequences and playbooks that make that strategy repeatable as we scale. We’re an AI-forward team, and we expect you to use AI tools in your own sourcing workflow.

What You’ll Do

• Run intake with our CTO and hiring managers to define role profiles, must-haves and target companies. Push back when a profile doesn’t match the market.
• Source passive engineers through LinkedIn Recruiter, GitHub, X, Hugging Face and Metaview, with repos, commits, papers and community activity as signal.
• Build and maintain talent maps across target companies, open-source contributors and AI research and infrastructure communities.
• Write, test and refine personalized outreach sequences in Ashby or Metaview.
• Own candidates from first touch to the virtual onsite, where you hand off to the full-cycle recruiter. Screen for technical fit and motivation, and tell GC AI’s story credibly to senior engineers.
• Report weekly funnel metrics, including response rates by channel and message, and recommend changes.
• Build the sourcing playbook (profiles, Boolean strings, sequences, channel performance) that future sourcers will run.
• Build a diverse pipeline across referrals, investor networks, events, communities and outbound, without defaulting to pedigree.

Required Experience

• 5+ years of technical sourcing or recruiting, including time at a high-growth startup. You’ve built sourcing infrastructure where none existed, and you treat constraints as problems to solve.
• A record of sourcing senior and staff-level software engineers, including hard-to-fill AI/ML and infrastructure roles.
• You speak engineer, especially AI. You can talk through RAG, evals, agents, inference cost and model tradeoffs with a candidate. You can tell an Applied AI engineer from an ML researcher from a product engineer who ships AI features, and you know which one a req needs.
• Advanced LinkedIn Recruiter and Boolean skills, plus active sourcing on GitHub, X, Hugging Face or Metaview.
• Hands-on experience with Ashby ATS or a comparable modern ATS. You keep stages, sources and tags clean without being asked, and you follow through on every candidate.
• Short outreach that gets replies, backed by response-rate data.

Nice to Have

• Sourcing for AI-native or ML infrastructure companies
• Experience with Metaview sourcing or other AI sourcing tools (search, enrichment, personalization)
• Exposure to legal tech, B2B SaaS or security-sensitive products
• Early recruiting hire at a startup that scaled from about 50 to 250+ people

A Note on Pace

• We’re building something new in a once-in-a-generation shift in technology and the legal industry, so we move at a relentless pace.
• We expect urgency, ownership, and good judgment even when things aren’t perfectly clear.
• If you need structure and consensus to do your best work, this isn’t the right place for you.
• If you thrive in ambiguity and growth, work with intensity, and want real responsibility, keep reading.
• We’re excited to meet you.

How We Work Together

• GC AI is a distributed company with team members across North America, and soon Europe.
• We believe that because our business is AI, human connection matters more, not less.
• We invest in bringing people together through our hub model: regular coworking sessions, customer dinners, team and company offsites.
• If you’re in a location without an office, expect up to 10% travel (and more for customer-facing roles).

• Team members in the San Francisco Bay Area and Provo, UT (within 50 miles of the office) work together on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays.
• As we grow, we plan to establish permanent offices in more hub cities and we will look to our team members to help build that in-person culture.
• We currently hire across the United States and Canada.
